Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder with various negative effects if left untreated, including increased risk of stroke to potentially fatal outcomes.

If you’ve been recently diagnosed or if you’ve been suffering from excessive fatigue, regardless of how much sleep you get, it’s time to address your obstructive sleep apnea. Here’s what you need to know about the MicrO2™ and how it can help you.

Do You Need Surgery To Treat Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is caused by an obstruction somewhere along your airway passages. Because of the many ways your airways may be obstructed, there are several surgeries you may undergo, from nasal surgeries that remove or shrink the blockages to an uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, which removes part of the palate, tonsils, and uvula.

However, surgery can have complications and variable degrees of success. Studies show a range of surgical success with sleep apnea, ranging from around 50 percent to 83 percent, depending on the surgery and the area of focus.

When it comes to sleep apnea, surgery is not the typical first option. Usually, non-surgical interventions are.

The Non-Surgical Sleep Apnea Treatment: MicrO2

Some obstructions that lead to sleep apnea are caused by your tongue and throat tissues collapsing into your airways. The MicrO2 is custom designed to fit your mouth, offering personalized precision that prevents obstruction and keeps you breathing clearly and sleeping soundly.
