The short answer: A custom mandibular advancement device holds the lower jaw forward during sleep. For appropriate patients, this can help maintain a more open airway.
What matters most
Dental assessment, fitting and adjustment are important. Some users experience jaw discomfort, bite changes or other dental issues.
How the options differ
This approach differs from eXciteOSA, which is used while awake and stimulates tongue muscles rather than positioning the jaw overnight.
What to check before deciding
Ask a qualified dentist and sleep clinician about candidacy, expected benefits and follow up testing.
