Sleep Apnea Treatment

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. Obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea are treated differently.

 

Sleep apnea can be treated without surgery through various non-invasive options such as positive airway pressure (PAP) devices and oral appliances. The effectiveness of these treatments may vary.

 

During PAP therapy, CPAP machines provide a constant airflow at a preset pressure to relieve symptoms.

 

Various oral appliance designs that support the jaw or tongue are therapy options for individuals with specific anatomical traits that are less severe.

Available Sleep Apnea Treatment Options

Solea Snore Therapy (Laser Treatment)

During sleep, your tongue and throat tissues relax enough to narrow your airway. Snoring, then, is the sound that is produced when air passes through this partially blocked area, causing tissues to vibrate.

Oral Appliances

These custom-fitted mouthpieces gently reposition the jaw and tongue, preventing airway obstruction during sleep. Oral appliances are comfortable, portable, and often preferred by patients who find CPAP machines cumbersome.

 

While CPAP therapy is a traditional treatment option, our practice focuses on providing more convenient and patient-friendly solutions like laser therapy and oral appliances. The reality is that many patients cannot tolerate the bulky CPAP equipment or have trouble falling asleep with the machinery. Oral appliances are a safe and effective solution.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)

Doctors often consider continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) as the primary treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

 

A CPAP machine connects to a mask that covers the mouth and nose or nostrils via a tube and plugs into an outlet near the bed. The CPAP machine blows air into the sleeper’s airway to prevent it from closing during sleep.

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.
