> Good luck figuring out the root cause of sleep apnea. Inadequate jaw development. We're so used to people having recessed jaws that we're just used to considering several mm of recession as a normal, non-recessed face, and we don't even think about the fact that most kids have jaws so tiny that their teeth don't fit properly and they need braces. This causes both narrow, collapse-prone airways, and tiny nasal cavities that have high airflow resistance and deviated septums. Both age and obesity largely just convert people from waking up out of airway collapse to overt apneas.
