Jaw surgery for osa?

<< < (4/4)

kavan:
The opinion is rather clear cut. If you have obstructive sleep apnea due to small airway/s and are CPAP intolerant, you would need bimax advancement to open up the airway/s.

The surgeon would decide whether or not the chin implant needs to be removed in order to also perform a sliding genioplasty along with the bimax advancement. That is because some of the muscles of the tongue attach to the chin bone. The sliding genioplasty allows the tongue to be advanced forward a bit, subsequently creating additional space needed to breathe more comfortably throughout the night.

The surgeon will decide whether to remove the wisdom teeth during the surgery or for you to have them removed before the surgery.
