Hello,
I have a mandibular occlusion ( overbite: bottom front arch is mostly behind top arch ),
and top front arch ( teeth ) are slightly slanted inward.
I have never tested for sleep apnea, but I wake up tired after a full night's sleep ( 8+ hrs. ).
I know there is a series of steps ( procedures ) to correction.
What would the out-of-pocket cost estimate be to correct the conditions I've mentioned?

before going for surgery, try removable appliance first.
there is a simple device that you wear at night that will lift lower jaw forward that will prevent your tongue from blocking the airway.

Find an orthodontist who treats patients with Herbst appliance and palate expanders. Then compare cost to surgery. I did the $4K instead of the $17K and it worked great. Good luck!
