 Oral Appliance Therapy: A Tailored Solution for Veterans Suffering from Sleep Apnea.

​

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder marked by repeated incidents of full or partial blockage of the upper airway during sleep. This blockage often results in a decrease or halt in breathing, leading to symptoms like loud snoring, gasping, and disrupted sleep. OSA can trigger serious health issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and excessive daytime fatigue. Among the treatment options for OSA are lifestyle modifications, surgery, and the utilization of medical devices like CPAP machines or oral appliances for sleep apnea. While CPAP machines provide a continuous stream of air to maintain an open airway, an oral appliance adjusts the position of the jaw and tongue to prevent airway collapse during sleep. Both methods are effective in managing OSA.
