Sleep Apnea
Treatment Options for Snoring & Obstructive Sleep Apnea may include Oral Appliance Therapy, a bulky CPAP medical unit that sits beside you during sleep, delivering continuous positive air pressure through a facemask or nasal tube attached to a pump, Surgery as a last resort. The CPAP requires a lifetime commitment and proper adjustment to achieve maximum clinical benefits and minimal side effects.
