MOUTHPEACE are custom-designed oral sleep appliances, including Splints and Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs). Our products are designed to address issues such as snoring and bruxism.

Our oral appliances work by either repositioning the lower jaw (MADs) or providing a protective barrier (Splints) to prevent teeth grinding and reduce snoring. These appliances are custom-designed to fit your mouth for maximum effectiveness.

A Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) is a dental appliance used in the treatment of certain sleep-related breathing disorders, particularly snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It is a type of oral appliance that is custom-fitted to an individual's mouth.

Here's how a MAD works and its key features:

1. Repositioning the Jaw: The primary function of a MAD is to reposition the lower jaw (mandible) slightly forward during sleep. By doing so, it helps to keep the airway open and prevents it from collapsing or becoming obstructed, which is a common issue in individuals with OSA or snoring.

2. Increased Airway Space: By advancing the lower jaw, MADs create more space at the back of the throat. This increased airway space allows for better airflow and reduces the likelihood of snoring and the occurrence of apneas (temporary interruptions in breathing) associated with sleep apnea.

3. Adjustable: MADs are adjustable, allowing for incremental changes in the degree of jaw advancement. This feature can be beneficial for optimizing the effectiveness of the device and minimizing side effects like jaw discomfort.

4. Easy to Use: MADs are generally straightforward to use. Patients wear them in their mouths during sleep, and they are usually made of materials that are safe for oral use.
   

MADs are a popular treatment option for mild to moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea and snoring, especially when individuals cannot tolerate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy or prefer a more discreet and portable solution. However, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a sleep specialist or dentist, before using a MAD to ensure it is suitable for your specific condition and to receive proper guidance on its use and maintenance.

A bite splint, also known as a dental splint or occlusal splint, is a dental appliance designed to address various dental and oral health issues, primarily related to the alignment of the teeth and the way the upper and lower jaws come together (occlusion). Bite splints are typically custom-made by a dentist or dental specialist to fit a patient's mouth precisely. Here are some common uses and features of bite splints:

1. Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) Treatment: Bite splints are often used in the treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD). TMD is a condition that affects the jaw joint and the surrounding muscles, leading to symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty with jaw movement. A bite splint can help alleviate symptoms by providing a stable bite and reducing stress on the jaw joints.

2. Bruxism (Teeth Grinding) Management: Individuals who grind or clench their teeth during sleep, a condition known as bruxism, can benefit from a bite splint. The splint creates a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing them from coming into direct contact and minimizing the damage caused by grinding.

3. Orthodontic Treatment: In some cases, bite splints may be used as part of orthodontic treatment plans. They can help stabilize the bite during the orthodontic process and reduce the risk of damage to braces or other orthodontic appliances.

4. Nightguards: Bite splints are sometimes referred to as nightguards because they are often worn at night to address issues like bruxism or TMD-related pain that tends to worsen during sleep.

5. Customized Fit: Like other dental appliances, bite splints are custom-designed and fabricated for each patient. The dentist takes scans of the patient's teeth and the dental laboratory use these molds to create a bite splint that fits comfortably and securely.

It's essential to consult with a dentist or dental specialist if you are experiencing any dental or jaw-related issues that may benefit from a bite splint. They can evaluate your condition, determine the most suitable treatment, and if necessary, design and fit a custom bite splint to address your specific needs.
