Been searching around for a way off cpap. Several experts, one dental, one sleep, one ent, a somnoplasty fellow, all concur. If your apnea can be helped by tongue advancement, try a dental appliance first. If the dental appliance dosen't provide relief, then none of the tongue advancement surgeries including somnoplasty to the base of the tongue will work.
