What are alternatives to CPAP machines?

Alternatives to CPAP machines for treating sleep apnea include oral appliances, which reposition the jaw to keep the airway open, and positional therapy, which encourages sleeping on the side rather than the back. Lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, avoiding alcohol, and quitting smoking, can also reduce symptoms. In some cases, surgery may be considered to remove tissue from the throat or to correct structural issues. Additionally, adaptive devices like the Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) can provide a less invasive option.
