Asked By:jpgirl

I am 36 and have been snoring and sighing in my sleep and wke up with a sort of raw feeling in my upper soft palate and back of throat.I have a protruding chin and deep nasolabial folds so I think its a underdeveloped maxilla. My teeth fit good but I have no upper teeth show even after orthodontics. I dont know what to be asking for or what kind of doc to consult with. Will insurance cover any of it? Should I just be doing sinus surgery? I want to fix my breathing but look better if possible
