What is sleep apnea treatment?
Sleep apnea is a condition that causes you to stop breathing repeatedly during sleep, often due to obstruction in the airway. Over time, this disruption can impact energy, mood, cardiovascular health, and daily functioning. While many patients first try CPAP machines or oral appliances, surgical treatment may become necessary when those options are ineffective or not tolerated. Dr. Tow provides surgical solutions for repositioning the jaw or removing soft tissue obstructions to open the airway for more reliable breathing during sleep. Treatment is fully tailored to your anatomy and your needs, using advanced digital planning to guide every step.
The benefits of sleep apnea surgery
Restores uninterrupted breathing
Surgical airway correction improves airflow during sleep by physically widening the space behind the tongue and soft palate.
Improves daily focus and energy
When they address the root cause of disrupted sleep, patients often see dramatic improvements in alertness, memory, and daily function.
Lowers long-term health risks
Effective treatment reduces the strain on your heart and brain by preventing the oxygen drops associated with untreated apnea.
The sleep apnea treatment process
1
Airway evaluation and records review
Your care begins with a thorough review of your imaging, sleep studies, and medical history. Dr. Tow examines airway anatomy, jaw position, and soft tissue factors to understand your condition in the context of your full health picture.
2
Coordinated care planning
If treatment involves other providers, Dr. Tow works closely with your sleep physician, ENT, or primary doctor to align next steps. You’re guided through your options clearly, with recommendations based on your anatomy, goals, and comfort level.
3
Streamlined scheduling and case management
Surgery is performed in our private anesthesia suite or a nearby hospital, depending on your case. Using 3D guides and planning software, Dr. Tow repositions the jaw or removes obstructions to permanently improve airflow.
4
Ongoing monitoring and follow-through
After treatment begins, we continue coordinating follow-ups, imaging, and any additional care you may need. Whether that includes new studies, adjustments, or check-ins, you’ll never be left to navigate next steps alone.

FAQ's
If non-surgical options like CPAP or oral appliances haven't worked, or if anatomical issues are contributing to airway collapse, surgery may be the most effective long-term solution. Dr. Tow will assess your airway and coordinate with your sleep physician to confirm the best path forward.
The most common is jaw advancement surgery, which repositions the upper and/or lower jaw to open the airway. Other procedures may involve removing excess soft tissue in the throat or correcting nasal obstructions. The right approach depends on your unique anatomy.
Many patients experience noticeable improvement within the first few weeks of healing. We’ll continue monitoring your progress and may recommend follow-up testing to confirm your results.
