About Mandibular Advancement Orthosis

The dental and medical community use the term “bruxism” to describe the habitual grinding and clenching of teeth.

Bruxism is primarily caused by stress, which can take on various forms such as mental, emotional, or physical stress. This stress can lead to either chronic or acute bruxism. Chronic bruxism is a long-term teeth grinding condition, while acute bruxism is a short-term response to acute stressors.

What is snoring?

“Snoring” is essentially the noise that results from resistance in the upper airway. Although some people assume that snoring originates from the nose, it actually comes from the upper airway, where the air encounters an obstruction and generates a sound as it passes through. This sound is produced due to the vibration of the surrounding tissues, commonly referred to as snoring.
