Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) in Redondo Beach

At South Bay Dental Esthetics, we offer custom Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs) as a proven, non-invasive treatment for snoring and sleep apnea. Dr. Slobodan “Bo” Djordjevic, DDS, provides precision-fitted appliances that improve airflow, reduce nighttime disruptions, and help patients achieve healthier, more restful sleep.

What Is a Mandibular Advancement Device?

A Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) is a custom oral appliance that gently repositions the lower jaw (mandible) forward during sleep. By holding the jaw slightly forward, it keeps the airway open, reducing or eliminating the soft tissue collapse that causes snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Who Can Benefit from a MAD?

A MAD may be recommended for patients who:

• Have mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
• Experience chronic snoring that affects sleep quality
• Cannot tolerate CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy
• Want a portable, comfortable solution for sleep-disordered breathing
• Need an alternative or complement to other medical treatments

Why Choose a MAD for Sleep Apnea?

MADs are one of the most widely recommended oral appliance therapies for OSA.

Key benefits include:

• Non-invasive: No surgery or masks required
• Comfortable & discreet: Custom-fit to your bite for easy wear
• Effective relief: Reduces snoring and sleep apnea events
• Portable & convenient: Travel-friendly compared to bulky CPAP machines
• Improves overall health: Better sleep supports heart health, focus, and energy

Our Approach at South Bay Dental Esthetics

• Comprehensive screening: Airway evaluations, digital scans, and sleep history are reviewed before treatment
• Custom fabrication: Each MAD is designed to fit your unique bite for maximum comfort and effectiveness
• Collaboration with physicians: We work with sleep specialists to coordinate diagnosis and ongoing care
• Comfort-focused care: Our ErgoSoothe™ massage chairs and calming environment make appointments stress-free
• Ongoing monitoring: We track your progress and adjust the appliance as needed for lasting results

The MAD Treatment Process

1. Consultation & Airway Screening – We assess your sleep and breathing health.
2. Impressions & Digital Scans – Used to create a custom-fit device.
3. Fitting Appointment – Appliance is adjusted to ensure comfort and proper jaw positioning.
4. Follow-Up Monitoring – We evaluate comfort, effectiveness, and make refinements if needed.
5. Ongoing Care – Regular checkups ensure the device continues to work effectively.

Caring for Your MAD

• Rinse and clean your device daily with mild soap or cleaner
• Store it in a protective case when not in use
• Brush and floss before wearing the appliance each night
• Schedule routine exams with our team to check fit and function
