FAQ
What are the common treatments for sleep apnea?
Common treatments for sleep apnea include continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy oral appliances and lifestyle changes. CPAP machines help keep the airway open during sleep, while oral appliances are custom-made devices that reposition the jaw to improve airflow.
How effective are oral appliances for treating sleep apnea?
Oral appliances are effective for many patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. They work by repositioning the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open. Our dentists will evaluate your condition to determine if an oral appliance is a suitable treatment option for you.
Can lifestyle changes impact the severity of sleep apnea?
Yes, lifestyle changes can significantly impact the severity of sleep apnea. Weight loss, avoiding alcohol and sedatives and sleeping on your side can help reduce symptoms. Combining these changes with other treatments can improve overall management of the condition.
How do I know if sleep apnea treatment is working?
The effectiveness of sleep apnea treatment can be evaluated through follow-up visits and sleep studies. Improvements in sleep quality, reduced daytime sleepiness and feedback from your partner about reduced snoring can indicate that the treatment is working.
