Obstructive sleep apnea can make your life miserable. It often leaves you feeling tired, and your exhaustion could lead to drowsiness at the wrong time, such as when you're working or driving. It can also affect your overall health and cause cardiovascular and neurological issues. Multiple ways exist to address the condition, including the noninvasive CPAP or perhaps a dental prosthesis.

Watch this video for details on the surgical options for treating obstructive sleep apnea. Dr. Stavan Y. Patel, MD, DDS is a surgeon at Willis Knighton Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Specialists.
