Surgical Treatment for Sleep Apnea?


If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea you have probably heard of some of the solutions available, like CPAP machines and even surgery. There are a few different kinds of surgeries that can be performed in an attempt to resolve sleep apnea or severe snoring. However, surgery carries risks of complication and infection, requires an uncomfortable recovery period, and has a high failure rate. 

Fortunately, other alternatives are available which can relief sleep apnea sufferers. Oral appliances is not only a safe alternative for those who want to prevent surgery but also a more comfortable solution for those who don't like the CPAP machine. 

Oral appliances can be selected, designed and fitted in accordance to your needs. They are extremely light and easy to carry around and significantly more comfortable to wear. The convenience of an oral appliance makes it a very attractive option for those suffering from sleep apnea. The treatment with oral appliances is not only comfortable but also reversible and non-invasive. So, think twice before you consider surgical treatment for sleep apnea or severe snoring.
