sleep apnea and palate expansion

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have aleep apnea?

My mom has it, and cannot use the CPAP machine because the pressure on her

palate would be too much..... She had a portion of her palate removed (about

30 years ago) and I'm worried that if I have sleep apnea too, I won't be

able to treat it due to the surgery. I think I might try to have a sleep

study done before I start in on the surgeries. I don't know if it's genetic

(still researching) but apparently quite a few of my relatives have it as

well.

I have a plastic surgeon consultation at the beginning of December, shortly

after my OMS consultation and after my first tightening for my braces. My

teeth do seem to be moving, and the braces are annoying me less, and I can

use less wax than previously.
