There are three main types of MADs: Boil and Bite MADs: These can be bought from pharmacies and online. Similar to a sports mouth guard, these are boiled in water, then the user places it in their mouth and clamps down to form the device to their teeth. While this is the cheapest option, it only provides basic support and doesn’t always provide the best fit or comfort while sleeping. Semi-Custom Devices: The user takes a custom mold of their teeth, and then sends it away for the device to be custom fitted. Custom Dental MADS: With a referral from a physician, a completely custom-made device can be made by a dentist, denturist or sleep specialist. These experts take care of the moulding and fabrication process to create a device that provides a perfect fit and more comfort than any other type of MAD. These devices can also be refined and adjusted as needed by these specialists. Our clinic offers custom options for MADs.
