Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP):

• CPAP is a common and effective treatment for sleep apnea. It involves wearing a mask over the nose and/or mouth during sleep, delivering a continuous stream of air to keep the airway open.

Oral Appliances:

• Customized oral appliances, such as mandibular advancement devices, can be provided. These devices help reposition the jaw and tongue to prevent airway obstruction.

Surgical Interventions:

• Surgical options may be considered in cases where non-invasive treatments are not effective. Procedures may include uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), genioglossus advancement (GA), or maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) to address anatomical issues.

Weight Management:

• For individuals with obesity-related sleep apnea, weight loss through a combination of diet and exercise may be recommended to reduce symptoms.

Positional Therapy:

• Some individuals experience sleep apnea primarily when sleeping in certain positions. Positional therapy involves techniques or devices to encourage sleeping in positions that minimize airway obstruction.

Lifestyle Modifications:

• Advising patients to avoid alcohol and sedatives, quit smoking, and maintain a regular sleep schedule can contribute to the management of sleep apnea.

Behavioral Therapies:

• Behavioral interventions, such as positional therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), or other sleep hygiene practices, may be incorporated into the treatment plan.

Collaborative Care:

• Our team collaborates with sleep specialists, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure a comprehensive and individualized approach to sleep apnea management.
