Summary

This study tested whether a jaw-widening surgery (surgically assisted maxillary expansion) could improve quality of life in 9 adults with obstructive sleep apnea. Participants completed sleep questionnaires before surgery and again 3 months and 1 year after. The goal was to see if the surgery helped them breathe better and feel better day-to-day.
