I have a recessed lower third and sleep apnea also. I've always had breathing problems. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with sleep apnea over a year ago and I still don't use my cpap because I can't find a mask that fits. Guess what, they are all designed for ppl with normal faces.

kwallio, I really urge you to go to r/jawsurgery on Reddit. If you have sleep apnea your jaw surgery will be covered by your health insurance. There are only two "cures" for obstructive sleep apnea: using a CPAP for the rest of your life or getting jaw surgery.

I urge you to consider getting jaw surgery! The recovery is hard but it can really ascend you AND solve your sleep disorder! I have started my process of jaw surgery but it will take around two years for me to actually get the surgery after insurance and orthodontics are completed. 🤡

Remember, OSA only gets worse and worse as we get older. It's a progressive condition and it's covered by health insurance. You absolutely should get jaw surgery ASAP. Even if it didn't make people look better, I would still recommend jaw surgery because poor sleep is directly linked to depression and memory issues.
