Looking for dimensions--- Amara View (small)
Re: Looking for dimensions--- Amara View (small)
We are driving to the only Children's Hospital in the state for all of her care. I got her a total face mask 2 nights ago, and she seems to be doing awesome.

There is a lot that can be done with jaw and palate expanders. Just one extra millimeter of clearance can sometimes cure a patient of sleep apnea for life. The orthodontist will determine if treatment is appropriate and will recommend the best age to start treatment. If not 100% confident in the proposal, a second opinion would be a good thing to pursue.

Looking at one of the videos, I noticed that your daughter is on a Trilogy 100 ventilator machine and not on a regular CPAP.
It would be helpful if you filled out the equipment profile and noted that in the equipment section additional comments.
I'm glad you found a mask that is working.
