What is a Mandibular Advancement Splint (MAS)?

A MAS is a custom dental appliance that repositions the lower jaw forward during sleep to help keep the airway open. It’s a comfortable, quiet alternative to CPAP for mild to moderate sleep apnoea.

Is the MAS comfortable to wear?

Yes. Each appliance is custom-fitted to your mouth for maximum comfort. Most patients adapt within a few nights and report better sleep quality and reduced snoring.

Can the MAS replace CPAP therapy?

For many patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea, MAS can effectively replace CPAP. We’ll assess your suitability during your consultation.

How is the device made?

We take digital scans of your teeth and send them to our dental lab for precision 3D fabrication. The appliance is adjusted for optimal comfort and airway improvement.

Do you work with GPs or sleep specialists?

Yes, we collaborate with your GP and sleep specialist to ensure the MAS treatment aligns with your medical management and sleep study results.

Sleep Apnoea Treatment – Dental Sleep Solutions

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) occurs when the airway becomes partially or fully obstructed during sleep, limiting or blocking airflow into the lungs. This results in the airway constricting despite the person's efforts to breathe. Typically, the individual will shift the position of their tongue and jaw to reopen the airway, often accompanied by gasping or snorting. This cycle can repeat numerous times throughout the night. The effects of OSA are detrimental. It not only impairs breathing, which can be hazardous, but also leads to fragmented and less restorative sleep. Frequent interruptions in breathing can cause the brain to awaken the person briefly, resulting in lighter, disrupted sleep patterns.

Dental sleep medicine has been extensively researched and is recognised as an effective treatment for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS) can significantly reduce snoring and apnoea episodes by helping to maintain an open airway during sleep.

MAS - Endorsed by Healthcare Professionals

MAS is recommended by qualified dentists and sleep specialists as a non-invasive option for patients who find CPAP therapy uncomfortable or unsuitable. Suitability must be assessed by a qualified dental professional.

MAS- Improved Sleep Quality for Many Patients

Many individuals report reduced snoring, improved sleep quality, and better overall health outcomes after consistent use of MAS. Results will vary based on individual circumstances, and effectiveness should be monitored in consultation with your dental professional.

MAS- A Safe & Convenient Treatment Option

Unlike CPAP, MAS does not require electrical devices or bulky equipment. Custom-fitted to your needs, it is designed to be portable and easy to use, offering a simple alternative for suitable candidates.
