Treatment of Sleep Apnoea by Mandibular Advancement Devices by Dr Mike Mew

[@S.Blouda]

I make MAD appliances for my patients but this makes a lot of sense .. Thank you ..

Deeb Helal where are you located ? I live in NYC and I’m trying so hard not to considered braces. I would benefit from these appliances

Life changing advice and insight! THis man is the real deal. A Healer.

[@mohamedabdi6617]

This video scared me. I have sleep early and Im in my early 40s, meaning by the time i reach my 60 I will be worse

[@Orthotropics]

If you meant that you have sleep apnea now, in your 40s, then it is almost certainly going to get worse by the time that you reach your 60s. In my view this is going to shorten the lives of significant proportion of the population of most westernized countries. Bit of a shame really, and no one seems to be talking about the causes. #mikemew

[@mohamedabdi6617]

Orthotropics What advice do you give me then?

[@Orthotropics]

Mohamed Abdi I already have. Have you not seen all the advice on this channel. I never give personal advice. The answers are the same for everyone. It is all about doing making improvements you self. #mikemew

[@mohamedabdi6617]

I just started using Cpap machine last week and its difficult to get use to it.

[@Orthotropics]

Mohamed Abdi .....and I guess you can feel it pulling back on your maxilla (midface)?

[@BLMeredith87]

My sleep apnoea is "too mild a case" for CPAP treatment on the NHS but it certainly still causes problems. :( I was hoping something to move the mandible forward would solve things. Damn. :(

[@wut727]

Lee Meredith do mewing

[@nf7283]

@@wut727 cant mew with sleep apnea, when you fall asleep ur jaw moves backwards

[@wut727]

@@nf7283 I prbbly don't actually have it but you can start training yourself, and when you mew while you're awake it slowly trains your muscles to hold the jaw in place. Plus change the way you sleep, yes sleeping on your back is said to be better but it causes the jaw to fall back open and the tongue to go in a wrong position so temporarily sleep in a different postition

[@cyrils.1194]

your comment is old but look for tongue retainers

[@CelestialAesthetics]

Dr. Mew, say I get maxillomandibular advancement surgery, and after recovery, I continue keeping my tongue in its proper position on the roof (already been doing so for about 2 months now). Is this combination a good strategy for permanently (or at least for a long while) treating OSA?

[@Orthotropics]

It is quite a good suggestion, do ask for as much transversal expansion as possible and for the maxilla to be moved up and forwards as much as possible. Then tongue chewing, meal time exercises, neck posture work and mewing. I am sure that it would be a great combo, #mikemew

[@barlb0se301]

Have you ascended yet?

[@Lilacplane]

What do you Recommend? A follow up video please. This is the bridge between what you do and the lack of Orthopedics here. This is the "IN" with the orthodontists or ENTs that live in the states that have NO clue.

[@paddymcginley]

Can MAD sleeping devices help permanently realign the jaw / bite? If they could, it might be a decent trade off, a little maxilla regression for a much better lower jaw position, then some hard mewing to return the maxilla? For example 1mm maxillary regression for 5mm mandible advancement (pulling numbers out of my arse here). The idea bring muscle reshaping or repositioning will 'set' a lot quicker around the mandible than the maxilla will move.

[@kevintse2870]

It can only help if you have good tongue and head posture all the time.

[@richardb767]

Can a MAV cause TMJD ?

[@katierose1893]

I played this at 1.25 speed ;) OK thanks for the tips, I'll have to check out your website. I wish you just spelled it out here though as I don't live in the UK and just want some tips. I have an AHI of 8.3 and I'm in my mid 30s (Female). CPAP and surgery seem extreme. I'm getting a device that keeps me on my side as my apnea only occurs on my back but I thought a MAD would help even more but now I'm not sure. UGH!!!

[@therandiked]

He did not say what would he recommend

[@mvts1]

What a hell is the solution?

[@Orthotropics]

You are going to have to give me a while, but some pressure on the profession to ask simple answers such as "Why are teeth crooked" would help. #mikemew

@Γεώργιος Χρυσόστομος i cant say for sure if it stopped sleep apnea because it happens in my sleep..but jaw is pretty much same,but i didnt stop though am still doing it cause its free lol My thought is it works if u have a developing body like under 16,for adult it might take years to see even a small change

[@forthejoseph]

For the treatment of the patient with the diagnosis of the wrong-causes is with the claim by the MALPRACTICE. (i.e. not good medicine) For the treatment of the cranial-dystrophy with the diagnosis of the correct-cause and correlative-consequences is with the correction of the face, sinuses, and breathing with the correct-posturing by the body, tongue and jaw.

[@solrac4]

And if we use a mad that doesn't put the mandible in front of the maxila? and it only tankes a little bit forward the mandible and is still bhgind the maxila?

[@PersonXYZ01]

Are you mad for using MAD?

[@thobias7]

Yeah! then according to "newton", pushing maxilla forward and up should bring the mandible back and down and fuck up the whole thing.

[@Orthotropics]

Almost but you are forgetting the vertical and the faces is a little more complex especially the action of muscles

[@pheobelee7627]

Orthotropics The research I found also says that the effect of maxilliary expansion will swing the mandible downward and backward. I can’t let my mandible go back any further. It’s already moved back too much. I don’t quite understand Dr.Mew’s response above.. Can anybody explain further?

[@tatsumakisempyukaku]

I just got diagnosed with light or mild sleep apnea. My pulse oximetry said that my O2 dropped to 82% several times in 5 hours. Is it safe to be trying to practice this oral posture while my oxygenation is dropping? It seems to me that I have to use this MAD or a CPAP. But a CPAP would appear to apply forces to one’s face that would as also misshapen one’s face over time?

[@MsFiFix1]

How would cpap change the face shape it’s just air up the nose?

[@Russeren01]

So what can you do to fix and alleviate damage by dangerous premolar extraction retraction orthodontics?

[@salamio1119]

What is your opinion of tongue retaining devices in terms of their effect on facial growth? Are they less damaging than tradional MAD's? If one practices good oral posture & habits during the day is that enough to offset incorrect form while sleeping?

I've been where you are and highly highly recommend getting help right away. I've tried CPAP which didn't work and I ended up doing surgery in the nose and throat which made it 50% better but now I'm using MAD because the symptoms still exist. GET IT FIXED or it will ruin your life

hey mike, I have sleep apnea and am really struggling, should I get a mad appliance? how could I improve my sleep without one, you didnt give an alternative

[@superburstmega721]

I recently stopped using my MAD appliance. I worked at Mewing for around six months. I chew a lot of gum, have no pets, no carpet etc. I felt confident to go with just using mouth tape. I also use nasal strips and a vaporizer. I am happy with the results thus far. NM

[@shankar0cr]

@@superburstmega721 Oh that is just cool. The problem with me is that I'm already 30 yrs old, and I already have retruded mandible, under-developed Maxilla which is causing my tongue to obstruct the airway during sleep. Im using a MAD device but that isn't helping much. Just curious to know what your AHI is like, and how your facial development is.

[@superburstmega721]

@@shankar0cr My facial development is reasonable. I am in the class that is just able to Mew relatively easily e.g. I can fit about 80 per cent of my tongue in the palate. Not sure about my AHI as I didn't have sleep Apnea. I was a life long snorer. Good luck. It sounds like you have a tougher road. All I can say is stick with it.

When you say that sleep apnea gets worse with age and the faces dropping even more down are you saying that even without facial growth the jaws can still go downwards?
