Wisdom tooth removal causes sleep apnea?

Does anyone have any experience with this?
Oral surgeon Dr. Steven Park wrote an article about it here:

And here's another article written by an orthodontist:

Studies ain't so great at deciphering "causes." Especially not retrospective studies.

But I think naturally one would expect some statistical associations among all the various procedures and conditions related to one's having a small mouth, nasopharynx, and other parts of the airway.

The dudes quoted are more raising questions than hinting at any answers, as I read them.
