Poor sleep, snoring, or sleep apnea can have wide-ranging effects on your health, energy, and quality of life. Mandibular Advancement Sleep Appliances (MASAs) are custom oral devices designed to gently reposition the lower jaw forward during sleep. This helps open the airway, reduce snoring, and improve oxygen flow while supporting jaw and TMJ health.

Poor sleep, snoring, or sleep apnea can have wide-ranging effects on your health, energy, and quality of life. Mandibular Advancement Sleep Appliances (MASAs) are custom oral devices designed to gently reposition the lower jaw forward during sleep. This helps open the airway, reduce snoring, and improve oxygen flow while supporting jaw and TMJ health.
How Mandibular Advancement Appliances Work
The lower jaw naturally sits slightly back in many patients, which can narrow the airway behind the tongue and soft palate. During sleep, muscles relax, and this airway may collapse, leading to snoring or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
MASAs function by:
- Advancing the lower jaw slightly forward to increase tongue space
- Maintaining an open airway to reduce obstruction
- Supporting proper tongue posture during sleep
- Reducing snoring and mild-to-moderate sleep apnea symptoms
Unlike CPAP machines, these appliances are non-invasive, portable, and can be easier for many patients to tolerate.
Who Benefits from MASAs?
MASAs are appropriate for:
- Adults with mild to moderate OSA
- Patients who snore consistently
- Those seeking an alternative to CPAP therapy
- Individuals with airway-related TMJ strain
We will evaluate jaw position, bite alignment, and airway anatomy to determine if a mandibular advancement appliance is right for you.
Designed for Your Teeth, Bite, and Airway
Each device is custom-made to fit your teeth and bite precisely. Benefits include:
- A Comfortable, stable fit
- Adjustable forward positioning for optimal airway support
- Protection against teeth grinding (optional)
- Integration with other treatments, such as full mouth rehabilitation or orthodontics, if needed.
MASAs and TMJ Health
Proper jaw alignment during sleep can also relieve strain on the TMJ. By gently guiding the lower jaw forward, mandibular advancement appliances may:
- Reduce jaw tension and headaches
- Support bite stability
- Improve daytime jaw comfort
- Complement other airway-focused treatments

Meet Dr. Stamm
You don’t come to Dr. Stamm because you’re looking for a quick fix.
Patients often find their way here after something hasn’t quite added up, persistent jaw discomfort, breathing or sleep concerns, or a sense that symptoms are being treated without understanding the full picture.
Dr. Stamm takes a step back. She looks at how the airway, jaw, bite, and overall function work together before recommending anything. Her approach is thoughtful, thorough, and grounded in the belief that better outcomes start with better questions.
What patients appreciate most is that she takes the time to explain why something may be happening, not just what to do next.
