Treatment

Oral Appliance Therapy and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Therapy stand as two effective treatment options for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Oral Appliance Therapy involves the use of custom-fitted devices, resembling sports mouthguards, which are worn during sleep to reposition the jaw and tongue, preventing airway obstruction. This non-invasive option is particularly suitable for individuals with mild to moderate OSA or those who find CPAP uncomfortable. On the other hand, CPAP Therapy utilizes a machine that delivers a continuous stream of air through a mask, maintaining an open airway during sleep. It's highly effective for severe OSA cases but may require an adjustment period for users. Both therapies aim to alleviate the symptoms of OSA, enhancing breathing and ensuring restful sleep. The choice between Oral Appliance and CPAP Therapy often depends on individual preferences, severity of the condition, and factors such as comfort and compliance. Consulting with a sleep specialist helps determine the most suitable treatment tailored to individual needs.
