Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea is a chronic disease characterized by partial or total airway collapse during sleep. Traditional soft tissue surgery inadequately addresses certain airway phenotypes that contribute to persistent nasal obstruction and severe OSA conditions best treated with skeletal surgery. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the intricacies of how skeletal surgery by way of maxillomandibular advancement and distraction osteogenesis maxillary expansion can provide patient specific and targeted therapies to address airway instability during sleep.
