If obstructive sleep apnea, snoring, or jaw discomfort is affecting your sleep, mandibular device therapy may offer effective relief. At Zapzzz Sleep Clinic in Riverside, we provide custom mandibular advancement devices designed to support airway stability, reduce sleep-disordered breathing, and improve overall sleep quality in a comfortable, non-invasive way.
With free consultations and advanced digital scanning, we create personalized dental sleep solutions tailored to your airway, bite, and lifestyle.
A mandibular device, also known as a mandibular advancement device (MAD/AMD), is a custom oral appliance worn during sleep that gently positions the lower jaw forward. This forward positioning helps maintain airway patency, reducing breathing interruptions associated with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
Because each device is custom-fitted, it is discreet, comfortable, and easy to use, making it a preferred treatment option for many patients seeking a dental alternative to CPAP therapy.
Mandibular devices are most commonly recommended for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, chronic snoring, disrupted or restless sleep, airway-related jaw tension, or those who are unable to tolerate or dissatisfied with CPAP therapy.
They are also well suited for patients seeking a non-invasive, travel-friendly solution that integrates easily into nightly routines.
Many patients choose mandibular device therapy because it is quiet, compact, and easy to wear. There are no masks, hoses, or machines, only a custom dental appliance designed specifically for your anatomy.
When properly prescribed and adjusted, mandibular devices can significantly reduce snoring, support healthier breathing during sleep, and improve overall sleep quality and daytime function.
Your care begins with a free consultation, where we review your sleep concerns and evaluate jaw alignment and airway structure using advanced digital scanning technology. When appropriate, treatment planning is guided by Home Sleep Testing (HST) results to ensure accuracy and proper case selection.
If mandibular device therapy is recommended, we design a custom MAD/AMD appliance tailored to your bite for optimal comfort and effectiveness. Ongoing adjustments and follow-up visits help support long-term success and treatment stability.
Our approach is precise, patient-focused, and grounded in dental sleep medicine standards.
Because mandibular devices affect jaw positioning, TMJ health and muscle function are carefully evaluated prior to treatment. For patients experiencing jaw tension, teeth grinding, or headaches, therapy may be complemented with night guards or Botox treatment to support joint comfort and muscular balance.
This comprehensive approach helps protect both airway function and long-term jaw health.
