Abstract
A Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) is disclosed which is useful for the treatment of snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The improved MAD design comprises upper and lower splints which can be set at an advanced protrusive position (as desired for snoring/OSA therapy), but which also permits some degree of lateral mandibular movement. The amount of protrusive mandibular advancement is adjustable.
