Sleep Apnea in Madrid
Discover the Advantages of Sleep Apnea Treatment in Madrid
Elysium and Solutions for Sleep Apnea in Madrid – The goal of MADs (Mandibular Advancement Devices) is to prevent snoring and sleep apnea in mild/moderate cases, with the aim of improving health and quality of life for patients suffering from sleep disorders.
MADs are custom-made devices that are inserted into the oral cavity and advance the position of the jaw and modify other supporting structures.
They are considered the first choice for:
- Simple snoring.
- Mild OSA.
- Mild to moderate OSA with low BMI (body mass index).
- Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS).
Second choice for:
- Patients who do not respond to, do not tolerate, or refuse positive pressure devices (CPAP).
- Many patients with high surgical risk or who refuse surgery.
- Patients in whom surgical procedures have failed as rescue treatment.
How Does the MAD Work?
The MAD is a controlled mandibular advancement oral device that, by advancing the position of the jaw, increases the space at the level of the velopharynx and other pharyngeal anatomical structures, widening the diameter of the Upper Airway.
The success of the MAD lies in it being prescribed and made by a professional qualified in this type of pathology, integrated into a Multidisciplinary Sleep Unit (MSU) and subsequent monitoring of its effectiveness through a sleep study.
