As a 58 year old woman, I have been told that only jaw surgery will change my airway, as I have had so many teeth removed and poor orthodontia as a child. The procedure is unaffordable, especially because it would prevent me from working for a time. My palate is high, my lower jaw is very recessed, giving me TMJ symptoms and sleep disturbances. I have a strong family history of heart attack and stroke, in known snorers in my family.
