As the jaw is moved forward, the collapsible part of your airway isheld open by the forward movement of the tongue and other airwaymuscles.Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs) also improve the strengthand rigidity of the airway by increasing the muscle activity of thetongue and other muscles of the airway.
