Manochicodamooca- an Oral Maxillofacial surgeon is NOT the same thing as a dentist!

@undertheradar76 Actually an oral surgeon is a dentist. The difference is an oral surgeon is a specialist who specializes in extracting teeth and performing skeletal surgeries.

Actually snorting start when your nose close for breathing second if the person whole

night sleep straight not chainging his position...because of nose blocking and starting

breathing through mouth the mouth get dried that causes snorting and also breath

uncomfortable.........

ortognatic surgery could helps, but it's only for Oral maxilo facial surgeron = dentist

Thats good, I have heard though that the burning isn't the best option as it can thicken out later on as scar tissue with some people having worse sleep apnea. Repositioning the jaw however is supposed to be 90% successful at curing sleep apnea which is a very good success rate. Obviously jaw surgery isn't a small op and I would imagine results vary depending on the skill of the surgeon.

My dad has sleep apnea, but, luckily, he hasn't had to go under the knife. And I also hope that not every sleep apnea sufferer will have to go under the knife.

Hopefully not every sleep apnea sufferer has to go under the knife!
