Overview
There are many anatomic sites that contribute to snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Effective treatment relies on pinpointing these sites in each patient, so that treatment can be directed towards the appropriate anatomic location. What follows in this section is a short discussion of some of these varied treatments and interventions.

For a more in-depth discussion, we would direct you to the free, "Snoring and Sleep Apnea: Patient's Guide to Minimally-Invasive Treatments". Much of this information is also available in standard "Q&A" format, or can be seen on the left-hand bar on this page.
