The treatment options for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
(OSA) depends on the severity:
For severe OSA Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the
clear gold standard treatment, with the highest clinical success.
MAS (Mandibular Advancement Splint) therapy tends to be the treatment of choice for mild to moderate
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea as it is very effective, less expensive and
more patient friendly compared to CPAP.
There are two well established clinically proven treatment options
:-
