my cephalemetric radiograph showed an airway of approx. 5mm (visual guess). the post shows 10mm at base of tongue to 15mm at hyoid bone. I'm 43 yo Male, 5'10 and 160 lbs. I believe the apnea is gone and will know for sure when i get the follow-up PSG in 6 mo. I had an MMA, 8mm upper, 8 lower and 8 genio. initially the upper wasn't cut right giving me an anterior open bite of 6mm and a lateral open bite of 3mm. last thursday went in to have it redone and of yet don't know how well it'll turn out but i'm hopefull. hope that helps
