InspireĀ® Implants for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment in Ennis

Our surgeons offer modern solutions for patients dealing with interrupted sleep, especially for those who have found CPAP machines difficult to use.

The condition known as obstructive sleep apnea occurs when your airway becomes blocked multiple times while you sleep, which causes you to stop breathing briefly. These pauses in breathing disturb your rest and may cause you to gasp or choke. Dallas-Fort Worth Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (DFWOMS) in Ennis provides obstructive sleep apnea treatment options to help you breathe without interruption and achieve deep, restorative sleep.

If left untreated, this condition can lead to significant health problems like heart issues, high blood pressure, and constant daytime tiredness that impacts your daily activities. Although CPAP therapy is frequently used, our team offers advanced surgical alternatives for patients looking for a different way to find relief.

Why Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea Matters

Treating your sleep apnea is essential for regaining your energy and safeguarding your future health. A successful treatment can greatly improve your quality of life by decreasing daytime drowsiness, sharpening your focus, and reducing your risk for related health conditions. We want to help you enjoy restful nights and have more productive, fulfilling days.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatments in Ennis

Our team carefully assesses your individual condition to identify the best course of action. We provide a few different obstructive sleep apnea treatments designed to meet your specific needs.

  • We can design a custom dental device that you wear at night. It gently shifts your lower jaw or tongue forward, which helps keep your airway open while you sleep. This is a comfortable, nonsurgical option for many people.
  • For patients whose jaw structure causes airway blockage, orthognathic surgery offers a permanent solution. Our obstructive sleep apnea surgeons in Ennis can surgically adjust the position of the jaw to create a wider, more stable airway, directly solving the core problem.
  • Sometimes, extra tissue in the throat area can block airflow. Our surgeons can perform procedures to carefully remove or shrink this tissue, making more room for air to pass through easily and quietly.

The InspireĀ® Implant: A CPAP Alternative in Ennis

The InspireĀ® implant is a revolutionary option for people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who have not had success with CPAP. This treatment uses a small device placed during a simple outpatient procedure. It works with the breathing rhythm of your body. While you sleep, it sends a mild pulse to a nerve that controls your tongue, moving it slightly to prevent airway blockage. You control the device with a small remote, turning it on at night to sleep peacefully without needing a mask or tube.
