Treating Sleep OAT: It’s Not Complicated

The most common treatment for sleep OAT is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy. The CPAP machine keeps the airway open by forcing air through flexible tubing to a face mask the patient wears to sleep. Although this therapeutic option is effective for those who use it consistently and correctly every night, many do not tolerate the CPAP. Even more use their CPAP only part of the time. Oral appliances (similar to mouth guards) are an alternative treatment option for those who struggle with OSA or snoring. Many patients prefer oral appliances because they are comfortable, quiet, portable and easy to wear. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) currently recommends the use of oral appliances, known as, “ Mandibular Advancement Devices” when applied to the treatment of sleep-disordered breathing, as the preferred treatment for those diagnosed with “mild” to “moderate” OSA. Even in the case of those with “severe” sleep OAT, AASM recommends the use of an oral appliance if the patient cannot tolerate (meaning that they are “non-compliant” with) a CPAP.Unfortunately, oral appliances are often very challenging and inconvenient to fit. A patient is typically required to visit their dentist for “trial-and-error” fitting multiple times before their oral appliance can fit comfortably.

Tired of Titrating Oral Appliances! Don't get MAD - Get MAD-FIT

MAD-FIT Therapeutic Bite Position - using deep machine learning and augmented intelligence, adding vertical and lateral dimensions to bite registration for optimal treatment outcome from the very first night of use, bypassing the need for titration. In medicine, the highest level of care would respect the endotype and phenotypic diversity of the human population. Moreover, that level of detail of care would honor precision and sensitivity to treatment involved with every individual’s unique anatomy and airway. For example, during physicians’ prescription medication formation, dosages are calibrated and attained with substantial attention for the patient’s customized treatment. The physician would consider all physiology, medical history, and anatomical characteristics for optimal outcome. So, why is it different when it comes to the bite dentists take for oral appliance therapy? MAD-FIT is a multi-variant, patient specific algorithm that uses deep machine learning and augmented intelligence to take into account the nature of every patient’s unique airway and anatomy and precisely calculates the optimal therapeutic position of the mandible for maximum treatment outcome with oral appliance therapy from the very first night of use, bypassing the need for titration.



MAD-FIT makes fitting oral appliances faster and easier
