Snoring device not a treatment for sleep apnea

I tried one of these for a couple weeks while waiting for sleep study and titration. All it did for me was make it so that my jaw was pulled forward a couple millimeters when I woke in the morning, causing my bite to be out of alignment and my jaw to ache. And it didn't last very long before losing its shape.

In retrospect, the whole idea is silly and makes no sense for my particular problem. My tongue and soft palate are just plain too big. I'd probably need to pull my jaw forward a half inch to keep my airway from collapsing!

I simply can't imagine a dental device working for my obstruction...it would take maxillo mandibular advancement surgery. And I'd rather just go ahead and get a tracheostomy then go through that. I'm glad CPAP is working.

dentists are worried about their income and nothng else its a great product and works better than any dental appliance I have had fitted. JF Cighy

Not my dentist. Eight years ago he married one of his beautiful dental hygienists and she is 23 years younger than him. She is getting a little restless and he is worried about losing his little beauty and half of all he owns.
