YOUR HOME SLEEP TEST TO DETERMINE THE RIGHT TREATMENT PLAN
Detecting sleep apnea has become remarkably simple, comfortable, and accurate with at-home tests like ResMed. It's a breeze compared to spending a night in a hospital! You just wear a few lightweight sensors on your finger, wrist, and chest while you sleep in the comfort of your own home. These devices quietly gather important data about your breathing and sleep patterns. Once the study is completed, a board-certified sleep physician will read the results, just like in the hospital studies. Rest assured, you'll enjoy a much better night's sleep in your own bed while getting the answers you need about your sleep health.

THERAPY
ORAL APPLIANCE THERAPY
Oral appliance therapy offers a simple yet effective solution for managing snoring and sleep apnea. It involves wearing a customized device in your mouth while you sleep, which helps keep your airway open by gently adjusting the position of your jaw and tongue. By preventing any blockages, this therapy ensures smoother breathing throughout the night. It's a comfortable approach that doesn't involve any invasive procedures, making it a popular choice for many patients seeking relief from snoring and sleep apnea.
Professional oral appliances are known for effectively managing mild to moderate sleep apnea, and providing relief for both snoring and sleep apnea symptoms.
Oral appliances are FDA-approved for treating sleep apnea, ensuring their safety and efficacy.
At Knoxville Sleep Solutions, we specialize in oral appliance therapy, focusing on personalized solutions to address both snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea effectively.

LIFESTYLE CHANGES
CAN HELP
In addition to oral appliance therapy, lifestyle changes can also help improve sleep apnea. These may include:
Managing weight if overweight or obese
Steering clear of alcohol, sedatives, and sleeping pills before bedtime
Breaking the habit of smoking
Establishing a consistent sleep routine
Opting to sleep on your side rather than your back
Surgery Is A Last Resort Treatment Option
In numerous cases, oral appliance therapy has proven to be equally effective as more invasive surgical procedures, presenting patients with a non-invasive and economically advantageous treatment avenue.
While surgeries like:
Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP)
Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA)
and Nasal Surgery are viable options for severe sleep apnea, studies have shown that oral appliance therapy offers comparable outcomes with a much more conservative approach to treatment, and at a fraction of the cost. This makes oral appliance therapy a compelling choice for patients seeking effective, conservative, and budget-friendly solutions.
However, if after a thorough examination we determine that surgery would be a better option for you, we would gladly refer you to the appropriate specialist for further care.
It's worth emphasizing once more that surgery is typically seen as a last-resort measure and is typically recommended only for severe cases of sleep apnea.
