Thank you guys very much for your help. I have not looked at my OSCAR data but with a-flex turned off i was having quite a hard time falling asleep and kept taking it off at night. I had a question though. If i have palatal prolapse then EPR is the enemy bc the pressure drop allows the palate to fl...

Pugsy,

Thank you. So for tonight i will turn a-flex off and see how i do.

Thanks all you guys for the reply. So “EPR” i believe is a function om res med machines. I have a phillips respironics dreamstation. So it has “a-flex” “c-flex” and “off”. Last night mine was on a-flex setting 2 (goes 1 to 3). What should i have it on so that the EPR is “off”. Would that be turning ...

more shots

Okay i believe i got the right screenshots now

Nee,

Thanks for the reply.I believe EPR is 3. Is that the default? I don't believe i've ever changed it. Hope these are the screenshots you asked for.

Thanks for posting that. Your OP is less pitched than i expected. You’ll see what i mean when i send my ceph. Laboomental fold is quite deep, this is usually telling of mandibular retrognathia (to a degree) and/or proclination of the mand anterior teeth. Your maxilla appears retrognathic to me as we...

Yes odd time to be alive indeed. You are right with respect to neck posture effecting airway. This video: https://youtu.be/rsMQmq9160M will give you a better idea. It’s an fMRI that gives you a better picture. As for the mand advancement and pitched plane or “vertical growth” that one is harder to e...

Hello, Similar to Nee I am a dentist who's become trained in "airway dentistry". I've recently purchased a respironics dreamstation to treat myself and need some help interpreting OSCAR data to find tune my settings. I've had poor sleep since I was 15 or so. I'm now 26 y/o, male, 200lbs, 6'0. Very a...

Nee, Thanks for the info. I agree that maybe others can learn from keeping the conversation out in the open. Comments about your case: I’ve heard of Dr. Curry and the rest of the group there doing your SFOT although i haven’t seen any completed cases and therefore can’t comment on it any further. I ...

Hey nee! Awesome thread here. I’m also a dentist in the process of treating myself. Sounds like you’ve seen a dentist who’s trained under Dr. Jeff Rouse at Spear (and maybw trained there yourself). Amazing stuff hey!?! I’ve got a similar journey going but I dont want to hijack you’re thread. I am wo...
