Bad airway due to orthodontic treatment.
What are my options now after having bad orthodontic treatment (extraction of teeth).
My jaw is recessed. Are there any non surgical options?
Is it possible to treat in adults?

Hello. Hope you are doing well.
Firstly, your concerns need a thorough clinical examination and history taking followed by some xrays before jumping to the treatment options. If your problem is on skeletal level (meaning size of jaws are not proper) along with other problems like Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (problem in breathing while laying down) then you most likely have to undergo surgical treatment. If the problems are at dental level then it can be solved with non-sugical methods. It will be best to visit an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
