Treatments

Treatments for sleep apnea depend on the severity of each individual case, and the type of apnea. You should consult a physician about treatment before visiting an orthodontist.

Basic treatment can be behavioural as you may be instructed to lose weight, stop smoking, or sleep on your side instead of on your back. Oral devices can also be used to position the mouth in a way that prevents throat blockage. There may also be surgical options for your treatment.
