There is a new study out and it seems it stands to provide another alternative to people suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. Oral Appliance Therapy is the new alternative towards resolving the sleep apnea issue, backed by a study which experimented on people aged from 31 to 53.

After beginning some appliance oral therapy, the said patients showed effective improvement as far as sleep apnea reactions are concerned. Mandibular advancement appliances (MAA) have been shown to safely and effectively treat mild to moderate OSA. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of two different MAA over time from a previous comparative study (PCS).

This Canada-based study included four women and 10 men who had participated in a PCS that tested two oral appliances in a randomized cross-over design. The participants were 52 years of age on average.

For the people who are looking for another solution to their snoring problem, look no further. It has been widely known these days that snoring has become an alarming issue for people who lack sleep and if they are not carefully, it may even lead to something serious such as potential blockage of air inflow. Apparently when people doze off, muscles tend to relax and if they find themselves in the wrong alignment a lot of connected parts of responsible for air flow may clog and eventually become worse than irritative snoring.

All the soft tissue of the throat is connected, and it’s all connected to the jaw. As the only major articulated bone in the area, the position of the jaw can have a dramatic impact on the positioning of the soft tissue during sleep. For this reason, snoring and sleep apnea can be caused by an improper position of the jaw and can be corrected with a proper position of the jaw. In oral appliance therapy, a device is worn in the mouth to reposition the jaw, and, in so doing, reposition the soft tissues of the throat, making them less prone to collapse.

Somnomed is the manufacturer of the SomnoDent MAS, an oral appliance, also known as a mandibular advancement splint (MAS) because it pushes out (advances) the jaw (mandible). It is worn over the teeth when a person goes to sleep at night.
