In many cases, OSA itself is just a symptom of an underlying anatomic deformity. My research over the last 18 mos. has led to me ascertain that resolving the OSA via non-surgical orthodontic correction of the maxillary/mandibular retraction, narrow arches, and pathologic bite that gave rise to OSA is the key. In the meantime, I am managing ok using a DreamWare nasal mask. But that is definitely not something I wish to use the rest of my life if I can correct the underlying cause.</p></blockquote><p></p>
