Custom Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
‍

Addressing the Underlying Causes
‍Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common form of this disorder, occurs when the muscles in the throat relax excessively during sleep, blocking the airway. Our approach to treating sleep apnea begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the severity and nature of your condition. Based on this assessment, we tailor a treatment plan that may include lifestyle changes, oral appliances, or in more severe cases, referral to specialized medical professionals for further management.

‍Oral Appliance Therapy: A Non-Invasive Approach
‍For many patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy offers an effective and comfortable treatment option. These custom-fitted devices are designed to maintain an open, unobstructed airway during sleep. By repositioning the lower jaw and tongue, oral appliances can significantly reduce snoring and prevent the airway from collapsing, leading to improved sleep quality.

Multidisciplinary Approach to Sleep Apnea
‍

Collaboration for Comprehensive Care
‍Recognizing that sleep apnea is a complex condition often intertwined with other health issues, we adopt a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to treatment. We collaborate with specialists in fields such as ENT, pulmonology, and sleep medicine to ensure a comprehensive assessment and treatment strategy that addresses all aspects of the condition.

‍Support and Guidance for Patients
‍Our commitment to patient care extends beyond the clinical treatment of sleep apnea. We provide ongoing support and guidance to help patients make necessary lifestyle adjustments that can improve their condition. This includes education on sleep hygiene, weight management, and avoiding alcohol and sedatives before sleep, all of which can contribute to alleviating the symptoms of sleep apnea.
