Oral device therapy is a way to effectively control snoring and sleep apnea and can be used in conjunction with other therapies. Some appliances push the tongue forward through the suction tube to open the air passage. During sleep, the mandibular reduction instrument repositions and holds the mandible (mandible) in a prominent position. Nasal sprays also relieve snorers who have blocked nasal passages due to swelling or increased mucus. The continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) system delivers compressed air through the mask during sleep, leaving the airway open. Treatment may last weeks or months and require follow-up.
In some cases, surgery may be needed to eliminate snoring. Surgery can include any of the following: traditional surgery, outpatient laser assisted balloon angioplasty (LAUP) to remove uvula (not recommended for sleep apnea patients), nasal surgery to correct nasal obstructions, or correction Deviation intervals, as well as angioplasty, use low-intensity RF signals to remove some soft palate.
