Sleep apnea treatments include lifestyle changes, physical interventions, oral devices, surgery, prescription medicines and breathing machines. A single type of treatment may not work on its own, thus requiring a combination of sleep apnea treatments to treat the disorder. The patient begins sleep apnea treatments with simple lifestyle change instructions: avoid alcohol, limit medications such as sedatives and muscles relaxants that relax the central nervous system, lose weight and/or quit smoking.

Sleep apnea treatments can include using a special pillow, or a device to keep the patient from sleeping on his/her back. Also included is wearing an oral device that keeps the airway open during sleep. An example of one of these oral devices for sleep apnea treatments is a mandibular advancement splint (MAS). This device is similar to a mouth guard worn in sports, and holds the lower jaw down and forward to keep the tongue farther away from the back of the airway.
