No: We can't cure sleep apnea. That implies thatnthenproblem goes away. We can manage sleep apnea with cpap, oral appliances, weight loss, lifestyle modification and surgery.

NO: Sleep apnea, like TMJ/TMD can be maintained but never really cured. There are many life changes that one can make to possibly decrease the severity of the sleep apnea such as losing weight, throat surgery, change of diet and supplements, altering your bed and pillows, etc. Obviously, a CPAP machine is the Cadillac of devices, but mouthpieces can certainly help if one cannot tolerate the CPAP

There is no cure : Lifestyle changes, CPAP and oral appliances work well, but they're not cures for sleep apnea.

Sleep apnoea: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most effective treatment for moderate or severe OSAS. Things that can make a big difference include: losing some weight if you are overweight or obese , not drinking alcohol for 4-6 hours before going to bed, not using sedative drugs, stopping smoking ,sleeping on your side or in a semi-propped position . http://patient.info/health/obstructive-sle
