  • High patient compliance rate

Considerations

  • Best for mild to moderate OSA
  • Requires healthy teeth & gums

Considerations

  • Can be noisy, bulky, and restrictive
  • Difficult to travel with
  • Lower patient compliance rates

Lifestyle & Positional Therapy

A combination of lifestyle changes and techniques to maintain optimal sleeping position. These approaches are often used alongside device therapies to maximize treatment effectiveness.

Advantages

  • No devices required in some cases

  • Overall health improvement

Considerations

  • Often insufficient as sole treatment
  • Results take time and consistency
  • Only effective for mild cases
