There are many different ways to treat sleep apnea, depending on the severity of each case. If sleep apnea is a result of obesity, smoking, or sleeping position, the answer is to lose weight, stop smoking, or correct your sleeping position. However, in more severe cases, your dentist can provide you with an oral device to help you breathe easier during sleep. In the most severe cases, surgery may be recommended.
