Airway Correction for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Sufferer

Airway Correction for OSA

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition in which the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, causing difficulty breathing and disruptions in sleep. Airway correction for OSA sufferers can involve a variety of treatment options, depending on the underlying cause of the obstruction and the severity of the condition.

The process of dental implant surgery typically involves several steps:

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the most common treatment for OSA. It involves using a machine that delivers a steady stream of air through a mask worn over the nose or mouth to help keep the airway open during sleep.

Oral Appliances

These are devices worn in the mouth during sleep that reposition the jaw and tongue to help keep the airway open. They are typically recommended for mild to moderate OSA.

Lifestyle Changes

Losing weight, avoiding alcohol and sedatives before bedtime, and sleeping on your side can help to reduce the severity of OSA.

Surgery

In some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct structural abnormalities in the airway, such as a deviated septum or enlarged tonsils.

Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation

A device that is implanted under the skin in the upper chest, it works by sending mild stimulation to the nerve that controls the tongue and other airway muscles, helping to keep the airway open during sleep.

It’s important to note that the treatment plan is tailored to the individual and the underlying cause of their OSA, and that multiple treatment options may be used in combination. Consultation with a sleep specialist can help to determine the best course of action.
