how much advancement should be done for sleep apnea?

[Deleted member 19766]

title, what's the sort of range one should be looking for in regard to bimax movements for sleep apnea? i know theres a huge amount of range but what would you say is the bare minimum? my surgeon has so far planned 4mm upper jaw and 7mm lower jaw but I fear this is not enough, no?
My lower maxilla is also quite visibly recessed (But chin looks fine to normies) with nose looking big so I think I could do quite a bit more without dogmaxx.
I have a deep overbite btw

Have you seen your CT scans? You can go measure your airway and see what improvement these movements actually represent proportionally to what’s there already.

what do i compare them against though? should i just google like healthy good forward grown airway sizes or something?

My airway is 7mm circle at narrowest on my scan and I have snoring but not really Sleep Apnea.

Priority should be aesthetics. 5mm may help but 10mm would make a much better visual improvement. The recovery sucks anyway, just go for as much as you can get.
