It is one the most used sleep apnea treatment options, but there are others to choose from. The CPAP works for many people as well and it depends on the individual for it's success.

A popular option for many people and Sleep Doctors are mouthpieces for sleep apnea and snoring. These specially designed mouth guards adjust the jaw to help prevent the tongue from slipping into the airway. They have been proven to work for many people and are growing in popularity.

Option number two is losing weight. Over 50% of people with sleep apnea are obese. Weight loss has been shown to be one of the most effective sleep apnea treatments.

Another option is practicing special mouth exercises specifically for sleep apnea. There are certain exercises if done correctly and consistently actually have been proven to help with sleep apnea.

Another newer option is a anti snore shirt. These are special belts that help keep you from sleeping on your back. This helps keep the tissues of the mouth and tongue from blocking the airway.

A fifth CPAP alternative are sleep apnea and anti snore pillows. These specially designed pillows help keep you on your side during sleep. Most are inexpensive and work for many people.

UPPP surgery for sleep apnea is probably one of the more expensive and risky procedures. This surgery cuts out certain tissues of the mouth and throat to widen the airway. It also helps with the tissues from blocking the airway while sleeping. There are mixed results with this procedure and it has some painful side effects.

A new and popular treatment option is playing the Didgeridoo for sleep apnea. This is an ancient Australian musical instrument and has grown in popularity recently to help treat sleep apnea. There is a simple and special way to play this that has been shown to help treat sleep apnea.
