Apnea comes from the Greek word meaning “want of breath” and is clinically defined as any cessation of breath lasting 10 or more seconds.

Oral Appliance Therapy. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine has concluded that a first line of treatment for mild to moderate sleep apnea is a custom made mandibular repositioning appliance (MRA). MRA’s open the airway by moving the jaw and tongue forward, increasing muscle tone in the soft palate. These results are achieved with relatively minor lifestyle adjustments. Additionally, custom made oral appliances have also been shown to be effective in reducing or eliminating snoring.

The most widely utilized treatment for medium to severe apnea is continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP therapy. In many cases of mild to moderate sleep apnea oral appliance therapy and the Pillar® Procedure have been shown to provide effective relief. CPAP therapy involves a patient wearing a mask (or interface) over their nose and/or mouth during sleep. An air compressor forces air through the nose and into the airway in order to keep it open throughout the night. Allowing the patient to breathe continuously throughout the night and with a great reduction in the number of sleep apneas.
