01Houston Sleep Health

Sleep Apnea
Treatment Options.

Personalized treatment for better breathing, better sleep, and better health.

Sleep apnea is more than snoring. When breathing repeatedly stops or becomes restricted during sleep, it can prevent your body and brain from getting the restorative sleep they need.

The good news is that sleep apnea is treatable, and you may have more options than you realize.

YOUR OPTIONS. YOUR PATH TO BETTER SLEEP.
02A plan that fits you

Personalized Care.
Meaningful Options.

At Houston Sleep Health, we take a personalized approach to sleep apnea treatment. Rather than assuming one treatment works for everyone, we consider your sleep study results, symptoms, airway anatomy, overall health, weight, lifestyle, and treatment preferences to develop a plan that fits your needs.

Our sleep apnea treatment options include CPAP/PAP therapy, oral appliance therapy, medical weight management including GLP-1 medications when appropriate, and hypoglossal nerve stimulation.

Care starts with understanding you.

Your diagnosis, health, and preferences help guide the conversation.

03Understanding your choices

Which Treatment
Is Right for You?

There is no single “best” treatment for every patient with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The right treatment depends on several factors.

Our goal is to understand the whole patient—not just the sleep study—and help determine which treatment approach makes the most sense for you.

01TREATMENT OPTION
The established treatment for obstructive sleep apnea

CPAP & PAP Therapy

CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure, delivers a gentle stream of pressurized air through a mask to help keep your airway open while you sleep.

PAP therapy remains one of the most effective and established treatments for obstructive sleep apnea and is commonly recommended for patients with moderate-to-severe OSA.

Auto-adjusting PAP devices can adjust pressure and provide treatment data that helps your sleep team determine how well your therapy is working.

02TREATMENT OPTION
A comfortable, mask-free treatment option

Oral Appliance Therapy

Oral appliance therapy uses a custom-fitted dental device worn while you sleep. The appliance helps reposition the jaw and/or tongue to help keep the upper airway open.

For appropriately selected patients, an oral appliance can provide an effective alternative to CPAP without a mask, tubing, or pressurized air.

Oral appliances may be particularly appealing to patients who have difficulty tolerating CPAP or prefer a smaller, portable treatment.

03TREATMENT OPTION
Addressing the connection between weight and sleep apnea

Medical Weight Management & GLP-1

Weight and obstructive sleep apnea are closely connected. For some patients, excess weight can contribute to narrowing and collapse of the upper airway during sleep.

Losing weight may improve the severity of sleep apnea and can also provide important benefits for overall health.

At Houston Sleep Health, medical weight management can be incorporated into a comprehensive sleep apnea treatment plan when appropriate.

A mask-free, implantable treatment for selected patients

Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation

Hypoglossal nerve stimulation may be an option for certain adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who are unable to use or tolerate PAP therapy.

This treatment is not appropriate for everyone. A comprehensive evaluation is needed to determine whether your sleep apnea, medical history, airway anatomy, and other characteristics meet the appropriate treatment criteria.

Houston Sleep Health can evaluate your sleep apnea and help determine whether hypoglossal nerve stimulation may be an appropriate option.

Talk with our team
What are the treatment options for sleep apnea?

Treatment options may include CPAP or other PAP therapy, oral appliance therapy, medically supervised weight management when appropriate, and hypoglossal nerve stimulation for selected patients. The appropriate treatment depends on the type and severity of sleep apnea and other individual factors.

Do I have to use CPAP if I have sleep apnea?

Not necessarily. CPAP is an established treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, but other treatments may be appropriate for selected patients depending on their diagnosis, anatomy, health history, previous treatment experience, and treatment preferences.

What are alternatives to CPAP for sleep apnea?

Potential alternatives include custom oral appliance therapy, weight management when medically appropriate, and implantable hypoglossal nerve stimulation for selected adults who cannot use or tolerate PAP therapy.

How do I know which sleep apnea treatment is right for me?

Your sleep specialist can review your sleep study, symptoms, sleep apnea severity, medical history, airway anatomy, weight, lifestyle, and previous treatment experience before discussing appropriate options.

Can sleep apnea treatment involve more than one therapy?

Yes. Depending on the patient's circumstances, treatment may involve a combination of approaches. A sleep specialist can determine whether combining therapies is appropriate.
