Video Summary

Long-term cases of severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can have serious health consequences. While orthodontic and surgical interventions can improve the symptoms and outcomes for many patients, the success of treatment may vary based on individual factors and comorbidities. In some cases, patients with significant comorbidities or complications may not be suitable candidates for orthodontic or surgical intervention. The decision to pursue treatment should be made on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the patient's overall health status, the severity of their OSA, and the potential risks and benefits of the proposed treatment approach. It is important to work closely with a healthcare provider experienced in treating OSA to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for each individual patient.
