Another choice for treating obstructive sleep apnea is to use what is called an oral device. This device is used to keep the breathing airways open while you are sleeping. These are easier to use then the CPAP machine will be, but they don’t do as good of a job making it happen.

Finally, in some cases, it may be necessary to have surgery to improve your airway flow. This may or may not be an option for you. One thing to note is that you and your doctor will determine the right method for handling your sleep apnea together and that trial and error may be the best method for improving your quality of life.
