The MDSA is

The Medical Dental Sleep Appliance (MDSA) has been developed in direct consultation with leading Australian dentists, sleep physicians and dental technicians.
It is a titratable mandibular advancement appliance with these special added features:
- Ability to adjust the advancement when the appliance is in place using a key
- Lateral movement of the mandible with the appliance in place reduces TMJ problems and improves comfort
- Low profile of the appliance allows minimum opening of the bite.
The laboratory made MDSA holds the jaw and tongue forward and prevents the throat from collapsing during sleep.
The results of a study at the Austin and Repatriation Medical Centre Sleep Clinic, a crossover trial comparing the MDSA, nasal CPAP and placebo confirm that this is a safe and effective treatment for snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnoea. Patient compliance and comfort was significantly greater with the MDSA than the CPAP. The MDSA is scientifically proven as an effective method for treating snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnoea.
The MDSA is an alternative therapy when other treatments that involve nasal CPAP or surgery are not accepted.
