How is sleep apnoea treated?

There are 2 common methods used to treat sleep apnoea;

1. Somnomed- often prescribed for mild-moderate sleep apnoea patients, the device works by moving the jaw and tongue forward during sleep to open the airways. 

2. CPAP machine- often prescribed for severe sleep apnoea patients, the machine pumps pressurised air through the nose and/or mouth to prevent the collapse of the airway.

A sleep test is required to determine which method would be most effective.
