What is Mandibular Advancement?
Mandibular promotion resembles the mouth protectors used in contact sports. It can be used to treat conditions such as snoring and obstructive sleep apnea or axis. There are different types of mandibular advancing devices, but generally consist of two boards that cover upper and lower teeth. Equipment for promotion of mandibular procedure can be made of hard acrylic or soft elastomer material, and while some work by moving the jaws forward to open the airways, others place the tongue so that the airways are clean. They have been found to reduce snoring and promote peaceful sleep in people suffering from a mild or mild axis. Such periods usually occur several times per hour and may take several seconds or can be spread over minutes and continuing to suffocate or snorting sound when breathing. Children often, but not always, occurs together with obstructive sleep Apne. Sleep is disturbed because every breathing pause moves the person to the lighter phase of sleep.In a person using mandibular progressive equipment, snoring and sleep apnea often improve, leading to a reduction in daily drowsiness and increased ability to perform normal daily activities.
Packed or blocked airways is the cause of obstructive sleep apnea, and this may occur for many reasons, including overweight or enlargement of almonds. It is important to treat the axis as it can increase the risk of heart problems, strokes and high blood pressure. Research has shown that sleep apnea can be treated effectively using mandibular distribution equipment, providing an alternative to the treatment method known as continuous positive pressure in the airways or CPAP. CPAP includes the use of a machine that blows air into the airways during the night and keeps it open. Patients must use a mask connected to the machine using a tube, and many consider the oral mandibular devices easier to use.
usingEquipment for promotion of mandibular procedure is connected by some possible side effects and it is not yet known whether such devices are useful for people who experience sleep apnea without snoring. Possible negative effects include jaw pain, and some individuals may move teeth that could change the bite. For this reason, it is recommended that patients be carefully monitored when using mandibular promotion of the device, as early detection of changes in teeth can prevent more serious problems in development.
