While many people attempt over the counter products to alleviate the symptoms, few find relief or stop suffering the short and long term consequences of Sleep Apnea. Clinically proven treatments your doctor may discuss with you include a machine called CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) that delivers pressurized air to help maintain the passage of air through your throat and lungs.
Alternatively, a small and comfortable dental device called an Oral Appliance can be fitted to move your jaw forward, which keeps your airway from being obstructed.
In rare instances, some individuals may elect surgical intervention, although surgery or medications are not generally our first recommended course of action.
