Sleep obstruction and macroglossia
Is there connection between sleep obstruction/snoring and macroglossia? Does oral correction(gaps and overjet) with the help of braces help with sleep ?

Macroglossia can cause obstructive sleep apnoea but no dentist can resolve the sleep apnoea as you will require Coblation Wand assisted debulking of the base of your tongue to correct the sleep apnoea!
