Oral appliance worn during sleep that advances the mandible anteriorly to maintain airway patency and reduce obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. Aligner-integrated versions (e.g., Invisalign MA, Aligner Sleep Appliance) allow concurrent tooth movement and functional jaw advancement within a clear tray system.
Two main forms: standalone MAD for OSA/snoring; aligner-integrated MA for Class II correction concurrent with tooth movement.
