If you suffer from sleep apnea, you may well be dreading the thought of having to use an unwieldy CPAP machine each night. Denver Dentistry (303-988-6118) has another option with its ProSomnus mandibular advancement device!
For a long time, the CPAP machine has been crowned the king of sleep apnea treatment, but with its uncomfortable mask, noisy electric system, and tangle of plastic tubing, this machine is not all it's cracked up to be. I bet you never thought you'd want to go MAD instead!
Of course, I mean the good kind of ‘MAD’ – one that brings noise-free, mask-free sleep!

So what is this 'MAD' you speak of? Well...Denver Dentistry now provides custom-fitted mandibular advancement devices (MADs) as an alternative to traditional continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines.
Primarily used to treat obstructive sleep apnea, a MAD works by holding your tongue and jaw forward, reducing throat constriction to help prevent snoring. These dental devices increase your airway space, making breathing easier and thus reducing the symptoms and effects of mild sleep apnea.
According to research from the National Council on Aging, approximately 39 million adults suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the US alone. This condition is caused by blockage of the airway, often from the collapse of tissue at the back of the throat. During sleep, OSA sufferers may stop breathing for up to ten seconds at a time, starving the brain of vital oxygen. No wonder you wake up exhausted every morning!
By wearing a mandibular advancement device from Denver Dentistry, though, you can keep the airway clear and open, reducing such symptoms by giving you the restful night's sleep you deserve.
Denver Dentistry points to the portability and compact design of MADs as two main benefits over their CPAP counterparts. In addition, mandibular advancement devices do not require electricity, making them suitable for travel and atypical sleep settings. Wave goodbye to lugging that cumbersome CPAP machine everywhere you go!
Furthermore, unlike CPAP machines, MADs do not make noise when in use, leading to their widespread appeal with sleep apnea sufferers and their partners alike!
Unfortunately, mandibular advancement devices do not work for everyone. Therefore, Denver Dentistry advises you to book a comprehensive evaluation to determine the most suitable treatment for your individual needs.
If you wake up feeling exhausted every morning, you may well have sleep apnea. Denver Dentistry offers FDA-approved home sleep testing for those suspecting they may have a sleep-related breathing disorder.
Using the clinic's SleepImage technology, you will gain insight into your sleep stability, fragmentation, duration, and pathology, which make up your Sleep Quality Index. “SleepImage has medically-actionable sleep metrics, driven by objective physiological biomarkers and is cleared to evaluate sleep disorders to inform or aid diagnostic decisions,” states a spokesperson for the company.
