Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) encompasses conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea. Effective treatments vary based on severity and underlying causes. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a common, highly effective treatment, delivering a steady stream of air to keep airways open. Dental appliances, such as mandibular advancement devices, reposition the jaw to maintain open airways. For milder cases, lifestyle changes like weight loss, positional therapy, and avoiding alcohol before bed can be beneficial. In severe cases, surgical options, including uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) and Inspire therapy (a surgically implanted device that stimulates airway muscles), may be considered. Managing SDB often requires a comprehensive approach tailored to the individual's specific needs, improving sleep quality and reducing associated health risks.
