This case shares the treatment experience of a patient with moderate sleep apnea (AHI 22.9). The patient had sleep problems due to mandibular and chin retraction, and was unable to adapt to CPAP treatment. Through 3D customized orthognathic surgery, using the treatment method of counterclockwise rotation and forward movement of the upper and lower jaw bones (CCW-MMA), the 6-month follow-up showed that the AHI dropped to 2.7, successfully improving the symptoms of sleep apnea, while improving the Appearance, the patient was quite satisfied with the surgical results.

Discuss the treatment case of a patient with severe sleep apnea. The patient's AHI index is as high as 84.5, and he has a typical face with a receding mandible. After airway lifting treatment through orthognathic surgery, the AHI index was significantly reduced to 5.6, and the minimum blood oxygen concentration was increased from 50% to 90%. The surgery not only effectively improves the airway space, but also makes the patient's jaw proportions more harmonious. The case details the surgical plan, postoperative changes and recovery progress, providing treatment reference for patients with similar problems.

A patient with severe sleep apnea (AHI=69.8) decided to seek treatment because of severe snoring that affected his family's quality of life, especially after the birth of his child, and daytime sleepiness. After trying non-surgical methods such as side sleeping, positive pressure respirators, and anti-snoring braces with limited results, I finally chose to undergo MMA orthognathic surgery. After the operation, the AHI dropped from 69.8 to 13, and the minimum blood oxygen concentration during sleep increased from 53% to 83%. This not only improved the mental and physical strength, but also made the family no longer need to wear earplugs to sleep.

A patient with moderate to severe sleep apnea had a minimum blood oxygen concentration of only 44% during sleep. Not only did he suffer from severe snoring, but he also experienced dangerous breathing difficulties at night. Through the 3D customized orthognathic surgery performed by Dr. Jiang Houren of Fenghua United Clinic, the maxillary bone was moved forward by 6mm and the mandibular bone was moved forward by 12mm. This not only improved the problem of respiratory tract stenosis, but also solved the problem of facial distortion. After the operation, the patient's sleep quality has been significantly improved, snoring is no longer a problem, and the airway expansion has brought unprecedented smoothness.

A young man was troubled by severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), with an AHI index as high as 55.8, and symptoms such as loud snoring, daytime sleepiness, headaches, and difficulty concentrating. Because he was unwilling to use a positive-pressure respirator, he underwent mandibular advancement surgery (MMA) combined with chin advancement surgery to successfully expand the airway space. The AHI dropped to 3.9 6 months after the operation, and his symptoms were significantly improved. This case demonstrates the therapeutic effect of MMA surgery on patients with severe OSA, providing patients with a treatment option that does not require respirators.

Effectively treat sleep apnea through airway lift and jaw surgery! In this case, the patient's initial treatment with a positive pressure respirator was not effective and affected his quality of life. After counterclockwise rotation of the upper and lower jaw, combined with chin osteotomy, it not only improves the airway compression problem, but also balances the side lines of the face. Sleep breathing testing showed that the AHI index dropped significantly from 50.1 to 13.4, and the snoring situation was significantly improved, bringing patients better sleep quality.
