Calgary Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Group now offers surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea. These procedures, including maxillomandibular advancement, provide a long-term solution for Calgary patients who have not found success with non-surgical methods like CPAP machines.
-- Calgary Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Group has introduced surgical options for obstructive sleep apnea. This offers a new path for individuals in the Calgary area who have not found relief with non-surgical methods like CPAP machines. The limitations of conventional therapies often lead patients to seek more permanent solutions.

The need for effective alternatives is significant, as research indicates approximately 50% of patients cannot tolerate CPAP therapy long-term. This challenge highlights the necessity for other proven interventions for a large portion of the affected population.
One primary surgical solution, maxillomandibular advancement (MMA), demonstrates a high success rate, often cited around 85-90% in studies for suitable candidates. This positions the procedure as an effective long-term option for many patients. The clinic offers this and other specialized procedures to address the anatomical causes of airway obstruction.
The clinic provides several forms of surgical treatment, including Genioglossus Advancement (GA) and Hyoid Suspension, in addition to MMA. These procedures are typically recommended when non-surgical approaches have not provided sufficient relief from the condition.
The maxillomandibular advancement procedure works by surgically repositioning the upper and lower jaws forward. This movement physically enlarges the airway at the back of the throat. For many patients, this anatomical change can potentially reduce or eliminate the need for a CPAP machine.
Patient care begins with a detailed evaluation, including a review of sleep studies and advanced imaging. Surgeons then create an individualized treatment plan. This is followed by dedicated post-surgical care to support optimal recovery.
The durability of these results is supported by long-term clinical data. Studies have shown that a high percentage of MMA patients maintain significant improvement in their condition for many years following the procedure.
Calgary Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Group is staffed by specialized surgeons who use advanced technology and a collaborative approach to patient care. The team coordinates with sleep specialists to develop an integrated treatment plan for each patient. This commitment to coordinated care supports precise and effective outcomes.
