Description

M.A.D Telescopic Advancer – Anti-Snoring Appliance by Labo Lý Thường Kiệt

🔬 Professional Overview

The M.A.D Telescopic Advancer (Mandibular Advancement Device) is a professionally crafted removable oral appliance designed to reduce or eliminate primary snoring. This device works by repositioning the mandible (lower jaw) forward, thereby enlarging the upper airway and reducing soft tissue vibration in the oropharyngeal region—one of the leading causes of snoring.

This appliance is ideal for patients seeking a non-invasive, comfortable, and adjustable solution to manage snoring, especially when Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is not indicated or tolerated. The device is precision-fabricated at Labo Lý Thường Kiệt, ensuring superior fit, comfort, and performance.

⚙️ Mechanism of Action

The M.A.D Telescopic Advancer features two acrylic splints—one for the upper and one for the lower arch—connected by bilateral telescopic rods. These allow controlled and gradual mandibular advancement.

Each quarter turn of the advancement screw advances the mandible by 0.1 mm, with a maximum advancement of up to 7 mm.
The telescopic mechanism accommodates natural lateral jaw movement, increasing patient comfort.
Manufactured using biocompatible stainless steel, the appliance withstands biomechanical stress and ensures long-term durability.
The design guarantees stable retention, preventing disassembly even when the mouth is fully open during sleep.

This combination of functionality and patient-centered design ensures that the appliance performs effectively without compromising comfort.
