do you start to automatically mew and swallow properly once you have enough tongue space? Like say you got double jaw surgery or AGGA, would you be able to mew and swallow perfectly/properly once you tried?
Which doctor is this?
I have a surgeon rushing me into MMA (Dr. Alfi). I want to get an opinion from an expander practitioner. I live in North Carolina. Anyone know of a good MSE, etc. practitioner out here?
Dr Svitlana Koval or ask Renata Nehme of airway circle
How do you even pursue something like this to address what I think is a narrow airway? Do you start with a medical doctor, orthodontist or ENT?
I started with ortho
i mean it largely depends on what your goals are, since you mentioned a narrow airway i'm assuming you have sleep breathing issues and it's causing you to feel symptomatic. you could start at a couple different places, i started with a PCP referring me to sleep medicine bc i didn't know as much as i do now but there's better ways of going about it. you can buy home sleep studies off of a couple different places to get a rough idea of what's going on, home studies are fairly unreliable though and are unable to accurately diagnose UARS, or really OSA for that matter. you would have to seek out a sleep lab that scores sleep studies according to the AASM 1A definition of hypopneas AND scores RERAs and uses the RDI instead of just the AHI, which in itself is a challenge because there is no standard for how sleep studies should be done. if you want to skip that step and just go straight to the ortho i'd say that's a pretty good move, i wasted a lot of time getting bounced around from one ENT/sleep doctor to the next and none of them really addressed my problem in any meaningful way. if you go the ENT route be warned that they're probably going to try to sell you on various soft tissue procedures such as a septoplasty/turbinate reduction which are extremely unlikely to result in any improvement to sleep disordered breathing and have a high likelihood of relapse. search for airway focused orthodontists near you (might be a bit of a challenge because the people who actually understand this shit are few and far between but idk how far you're willing to travel) and ask if they do CBCT scans. it can be helpful in getting a more detailed picture of your airway, and what treatments might benefit you. the problem with all of this stuff is that it's highly specialized and scattered across multiple fields, orthodontics, OMFS, sleep medicine, ENT and more and doctors will really only treat you with the procedures that they perform. you have to be your own advocate, do your research and get second opinions, always. good luck.
@@petrichor04_ Thank you for all of that info. What you said is really interesting, as I went to a sleep doctor two years ago. I did have a mild case of sleep apnea and he sent me to an ENT. The ENT did a septoplasty and turbinate reduction. it definitely helped, but did not solve the entire problem. I have not been back to anybody since then. I’ve been looking for an ortho that specializes in airway, but have not found one yet in my area.

Why did the guy who did mma without mse get worse ? If he has jaw recession then it would aboviously fix him. He might not get the benefit of transversal expension, but he would still get the benefits of an mma.
MMA can address the pharyngeal airway but if the nasal airway is compromised, ie having a narrow nasal aperture, then it's unlikely to help much
@@petrichor04_ but why would it get worse ?
0:22 couldn't a device like this cause asymmetry?
It seems to be designed in a way to combat an already preexisisting one.
What is the name of the doc @jawhacks @ronaldead
Why does both Ron and the Orthodontist faces look so demonic?
