YOUR SLEEP APNEA TREATMENT OPTIONS
If you are diagnosed with Sleep Apnea after taking a home sleep test, your Sleep Physician specialist will recommend the most appropriate therapy for you.
There are several treatment options available for managing Sleep Apnea. They include:
Lifestyle modifications. Simple things like reducing alcohol consumption, adopting good bed habits before sleep and losing weight can all have a positive impact and reduce the severity of Sleep Apnea. [LEARN MORE]
Continuous Positive Airflow Pressure (CPAP) therapy. This is the most common form of treatment for managing Sleep Apnea and getting better sleep. It is a device designed to keep your airways open and prevent breathing stoppages. It works by blowing constant air into your mouth via a mask you wear at night. [LEARN MORE]
Sleep Posture devices. Your sleeping position can play an important role in the severity of Sleep Apnea. Sleeping on your side can significantly improve your condition. Side-sleeping devices are available to prevent you rolling onto your back. [LEARN MORE]
Dental devices. These are special mouthguards designed to keep your mouth – and airways – open while you sleep. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and inserted by specialist dentists. [LEARN MORE]
Surgical procedures. If other treatments do not work, surgery is sometimes recommended. This may involve the removal of tonsils or reduction of tissue mass to open up your airways. [LEARN MORE]
