Treatment of Sleep Apnea

Treatment for sleep apnea often involves lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, avoiding alcohol, and sleeping on your side. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is the most common medical treatment; it uses a machine that delivers air through a mask to keep airways open during sleep. In some cases, dental devices may be prescribed to reposition the jaw. Surgery might be an option for those with specific anatomical issues. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider are essential to manage the condition effectively and ensure proper treatment adjustments.
