Abstract
Some of the most severe forms of obstructive sleep apnea are attributed to anatomic abnormalities in the facial skeleton. With the use of conventional orthognathic surgical techniques, it is possible to expand the posterior airway. In fact, there is strong evidence in the literature to support maxillomandibular advancement as one of the most efficacious surgical procedures for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). There are complications associated with this procedure but these are minor when compared with the risk of inadequately treated OSA.
