Sleep Apnea Treatment for Better Health and Restful Nights
If you suffer from sleep apnea, seeking effective treatment is crucial for your overall well-being. Leaving this sleep disorder unaddressed can lead to a range of serious health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and excessive daytime fatigue. At Best Sleep Today, we understand the transformative impact that proper sleep apnea treatment can have on your life.
Sleep Apnea Treatment for Better Health and Restful Nights
When you receive the right treatment for sleep apnea, you can expect to experience numerous benefits, such as:
- Improved sleep quality and reduced daytime sleepiness
- Lower risk of developing or worsening conditions like heart disease and diabetes
- Increased energy levels and productivity
- Improved mood and cognitive function
- Reduced strain on relationships due to disruptive snoring
How is Sleep Apnea Treated?
Reducing breathing disturbances and enhancing sleep are the two main objectives of sleep apnea treatment. At Best Sleep Today, we focus on comfortable, effective treatments that patients can easily maintain for the long term.
While there are several approaches to treating sleep apnea, we specialize in non-invasive, patient-friendly solutions that avoid the common frustrations associated with traditional CPAP therapy or expensive surgery.
Our Specialized Sleep Apnea Treatment Options
Oral Appliance Therapy - Our Primary Focus
Oral appliance therapy is our specialty at Best Sleep Today. These custom-fitted devices are designed specifically for your mouth to gently reposition the jaw and tongue during sleep, maintaining an open airway without any machinery.
Key benefits of oral appliances include:
- Comfortable and easy to wear
- High compliance rate among patients
- No masks, hoses, or bulky equipment
- No machinery or noises
- Easy to travel with
- Simple cleaning/maintenance
Most patients adapt quickly to oral appliances and report significant improvements in their sleep quality, energy levels, and overall quality of life.
Solea Snore Therapy (Laser Treatment)
Our advanced laser treatment addresses the root cause of snoring at the tissue level. During sleep, your tongue and throat tissues relax enough to narrow your airway. Snoring is the sound produced when air passes through this partially blocked area, causing tissues to vibrate.
The Solea laser system tightens and tones these tissues, reducing vibration and opening the airway for quieter, more restful sleep. This comfortable, non-surgical procedure can deliver noticeable results in just a session or two.
What About CPAPs (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)?
While CPAP therapy is considered effective for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, many patients find it difficult to tolerate. A CPAP machine connects to a mask covering the mouth and nose via a tube and requires electricity to operate.
The reality is that many patients struggle with:
- Bulky, uncomfortable masks
- Noise disrupting sleep
- Difficulty turning over in bed due to attached hoses
- Skin irritation from masks
- Dry nose and throat
- Travel limitations
- Regular cleaning and maintenance
For patients who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy, our oral appliances and laser treatments offer effective alternatives with much higher compliance rates. If your OSA necessitates a CPAP machine, we will refer you to one of the best Pulminologists in North Texas. If you, like most people, would rather try an oral appliance, then Best Sleep Today is here for you!
What About Inspire?
Inspire is an implantable treatment option for people with OSA who are noncompliant with the CPAP option. The Inspire transmitter is inserted into the patient via incisions, often in the neck or the chest. The electronic system delivers stimulation, similar to a pacemaker, to the hypoglossal nerve, helping to control the movement of your tongue and airway muscles.
While it has shown some promise in clinical testing, it is still very early in the lifecycle of the device. While many of their patients report varying levels of improvement to their OSA, there is still much that is currently unknown about the side-effects of the device and the reliability of the product. In fact, Inspire was forced to recall several of their devices in 2024 due to a critical manufacturing error, for example.
Furthermore, the surgery is often the most expensive possible option for patients looking to treat their sleep apnea, often running between $50,000 and $60,000.
Finally, most insurance companies will not cover the surgery expense unless the patient can show that Oral Appliance Therapy or CPAP treatment has been tried and failed.
