Treatment Solutions

With a qualified dentist on your side, you’re able to explore treatment options that can help manage your symptoms and give you a sound night’s sleep

Oral Appliance Therapy

An oral appliance resituates your jaw to allow for deeper breathing. This is a great option for those with mild-to-moderate sleep apnea. Oral appliances are worn like a mouth guard and are more comfortable for those who cannot tolerate a CPAP machine. However, these can also be combined with other forms of treatment, depending on your needs.

CPAP Machine

A CPAP, or continuous positive air pressure, is the most common form of sleep apnea treatment. A CPAP machine involves a face or nasal mask to be worn at night. This is connected to the pump that’ll send pressurized air through the airway, ensuring that it doesn’t collapse during sleep. This is comparable to an oral appliance.

Surgery

Surgery is typically a last resort for those who snore. If you’ve tried a CPAP machine and an oral appliance with no success, there are several surgical options. An experienced surgeon will determine the trouble area is and determine the best course of action.

Lifestyle Changes

In order to improve your condition, lifestyle changes can be a great help as well as medical treatment. Getting in shape, limiting smoking and alcohol, avoiding sleeping pills and sedatives, and more can all help get you on the right track.
