Most people with sleep apnea benefit from both general measures and specific treatments:
- Lose excess weight
- Get regular exercise
- Avoid alcohol, heavy meals and medication that make you drowsy
When these measures are more severe, and these measures don't solve the problem, other treatment options include:
- Dental Appliance Therapy
- Nasal CPAP (continuous, positive airway pressure)
- Surgery
In recent clinical studies, physicians and dentists have found that in the majority of patients, a well made, fitted dental appliance will effectively reduce or eliminate snoring and apnea.
