Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
People with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have disrupted sleep and low blood oxygen levels. When obstructive sleep apnea occurs, the tongue is sucked against the back of the throat. This blocks the upper airway and airflow stops. When the oxygen level in the brain becomes low enough, the sleeper partially awakens, the obstruction in the throat clears, and the flow of air starts again, usually with a loud gasp.
Surgical Solutions
When CPAP machines or oral appliances fail or are not tolerated, surgical intervention can be life-changing. Dr. Antipov offers advanced orthognathic surgical options, such as Maxillomandibular Advancement (MMA), which physically moves the upper and lower jaws forward to permanently enlarge the airway.
Key Takeaway
"Maxillomandibular Advancement (MMA) surgery is widely considered the most effective surgical treatment for severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea, often resulting in a complete cure."
