Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep. Common treatments include Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy, which uses a machine to deliver pressurized air through a mask to keep the airways open; oral appliance therapy, which uses a custom-fitted device to move the jaw forward and open the airway; and weight loss and lifestyle modifications for those who are overweight or obese.
