Health Insurance has very specific requirements for getting treatment after a sleep test.

It is essential to get a sleep test from a provider that understands insurance guidelines and can help you get to the right treatment quickly and with the right documentation.

At Frontier, we get it, and we help you every step of the way.

Treatment costs will vary with insurance coverage. Below is a chart of
typical costs for comparison purposes only.

What's the best treatment for you? Likely the one you will actually use.

The cost of an untreated sleep disorder is more than any of these treatments.

Oral Device Therapy

Dr. Wilson's preferred treatment for Stage 1 and Stage 2 Sleep Apnea.
Real Patient
  • Oral Devices work by holding the mandible (and therefor the tongue) stable and out of the airway during sleep
Pros:
  • Covered by medical insurance
  • Least invasive treatment option
  • Easiest option for many people to get used to
  • No hoses, masks, or filters to buy month after month
  • Clinical studies and our own experience show that Oral devices can be just as effective for Stage 1 and Stage 2 as CPAP
    Read the Studies
  • Relieves Snoring for nearly all patients
  • Studies show superior adherence
    Read the Studies
  • Recent study shows superior reduction of blood pressure
    Read the Study
  • Less Expensive over time than other treatments
    See the Math
  • No noise of an operating machine
  • Easier for travel
  • Any side effects tend to be temporary
  • Uses same digital scanners as Invisalign, so acts as a retainer as well
  • Doubles as a grind guard
Cons:
  • Longer Titration Period than CPAP, but shorter than surgeries
  • May be less effective in people with a BMI over 40
  • Must have at least 4 bottom teeth
  • Potientally higher upfront cost than CPAP, but less than surgery
  • Although approved for stage 3 (severe) OSA, may potentially not be as effective as CPAP
  • Severe OSA patients may have an insurance requirement to try a CPAP before authorizing an oral device
Common Side Effects
  • For the first few days or weeks, most people experience soreness in their jaw in the morning
  • Increased or Decreased salvia at night
  • Tooth soreness for until the device works in
  • Very small percentage of people have ~1mm bite migration.
  • What we don't see is any tooth movement
The Bottom Line:
More people stick to Oral Device than any other first line treatment, and most people save money over the long term.

You'll likely have some discomfort in the mornings until you get used to it, yet for many Oral Device is still easier to adjust to than CPAP.

If you have Stage 3 (Severe) OSA, you may need to try a CPAP first. If you have very sensitive teeth, it may not be for you.

CPAP, BiPAP

Continuos Positive Air Pressure
Bilevel Positive Air Pressure
  • PAP devices work by pushing pressurized air through the airway to keep it open while you sleep
Pros:
  • Covered by medical insurance
  • Shown to very effective for reducing apneaic events
  • Many different mask and hose options
  • Can treat even severe sleep apnea very effectively
  • Titration typically only 1 night
  • Oldest known treatment
Cons:
  • Masks and hoses make adherence difficult for many patients
  • Blowing air can leak out of mask, especially at higher pressures
  • Some bed partners report it the noise can be difficult to sleep with
  • Supplies to buy on a monthly basis
  • More difficult to travel with
  • Some studies have started to show potential negative side effects related to heart health.
    Read the Studies
  • Many studies show low adherence rates lead to non-resolution of high blood pressure and other Sleep Apnea related diseases.
    Read the Studies
Common Side Effects
  • Like Oral Device Therapy, the side effects are minimal.
  • Some patients experience Aerophagia, where air is forced into the stomach and bowel, leading to bloating and gas
  • A new study showed that some patients experienced an enlarged heart after using CPAP
  • Tooth soreness for until the device works in
  • Very small percentage of people have ~1mm bite migration.
  • What we don't see is any tooth movement
The Bottom Line:
More people stick to Oral Device than any other first line treatment, and most people save money over the long term.

You'll likely have some discomfort in the mornings until you get used to it, yet for many Oral Device is still easier to adjust to than CPAP.

If you have Stage 3 (Severe) OSA, you may need to try a CPAP first. If you have very sensitive teeth, it may not be for you.

Surgeries

If front line options haven't worked for you. Surgery may be right for you.
  • The two main types of surgeries are Inspire (hypoglossal nerve stimulation) and Jaw repositioning surgery.
Pros:
  • Covered by medical insurance
  • No hoses, masks, or filters to buy month after month
  • Relieves Snoring for most patients
  • Easier adherence than CPAP
  • No noise of a operating machine
  • Easier for travel
Cons:
  • Must have at least 4 bottom teeth
  • Longer Titration Period than CPAP, but shorter than surgeries
  • May be less effective in people with a BMI over 40
  • Potientally higher upfront cost than CPAP, but less than surgery
  • Although approved for stage 3 (severe) OSA, may potentially not be as effective as CPAP
  • Severe OSA patients may have an insurance requirement to try a CPAP before authorizing an oral device
Common Side Effects
  • For the first few days or weeks, most people experience soreness in their jaw in the morning
  • Increased or Decreased salvia at night
  • Tooth soreness for until the device works in
  • Very small percentage of people have ~1mm bite migration.
  • What we don't see is any tooth movement
The Bottom Line:
If you haven't tried the less invasive options yet, surgeries may be more than you need to start.

If you have tried other options without success, a surgery might be worth the money. You'll need to talk in detail with a provider knowledgeable about how to qualify for the surgery, and the risks.

Our Frontier sleep experts would be happy to talk about your options.
