Very interesting. I wonder if having all my molars removed effected my throat anatomy? I suppose it did, but they had to come out. The Stanford Doc's recently told me that my tongue is large and my jaw is small. In addition, I unconsciously push out my lower jaw when I speak in order to have enough air flow to be heard. Who knew? But I agree, we are luck to have treatment available.
