I've been diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea and have been researching what recourse I have.
The ENT that specializes in sleep disordered breathing noted that my jaws are too small for my tongue and narrow in the back.
I'm trying CPAP right now but I hate it and don't want to live like this the rest of my life so it seems that jaw surgery is in my future.
I'm curious about potentially getting a segmented lefort 1 as part of my double jaw surgery to get some expansion rather than having to go through months of say FME and then double jaw surgery.
Are there certain cases where that would not work or might work just as well or better?
What would indicate whether the segmented approach would be as good or better for somebody?
If it's never as good or better, is there any way to say how much better the expansion then surgery approach is? Are we talking 5% better or 50% better?
Any information anybody could share on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
