If you snore, wake up feeling unrefreshed, or have been told you stop breathing during sleep, you may have come across a mandibular advancement splint. While the name sounds technical, it is actually a simple device designed to improve airflow and support better sleep. It is widely used as part of the treatment pathway for snoring and mild-moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
If you’ve been diagnosed with snoring or obstructive sleep apnea, one of the first questions you may have is - which treatment is right for me?
Two of the most common options are CPAP and a mandibular advancement splint, often called an MAS. While both aim to improve your breathing during sleep, they work in very different ways and suit different people.
