hi peter my name is keith gilmore and I suffer from sleep apnea and Iwas wondering if you can give me more info the treatment you were speaking about I'm very interested in a better treatment or cure.

In my early twenties I had my wisdom teeth cut out since there wasn't room for them and they were causing major problems trying to come in. No I have not had orthodontics as a child. I did have some of my back teeth straightened as a young adult but they only straightened one side of approximately three teeth on bottom and three on top.

Would not consider having a dental device to treat my sleep apnea. Cpap is my choice of treatment.

Thanks for your note. I'm always looking for medical professionals to collaborate with (especially dentists) who truly understand the anatomic basis for sleep-disordered breathing. I'd really appreciate a letter of introduction to Dr. Hang. I checked out his site and he seems to have a wealth of information about these issues. He even mentions Dr. Weston Price's research, which I use as one of the foundations for my book, Sleep, Interrupted: A physician reveals the #1 reason why so many of us are sick and tired.

Peter,

No, I was not treated with orthodontics. I do have some crowding of my teeth. I had two wisdom teeth extracted in my mid-twenties because of the crowding.

Cosmetically, my teeth appear OK but not excellent. Both of my maxillary laterals slightly overlap their neighboring maxillary central. Times have changed and if today I had a child with teeth like mine, he would get orthodontics.

Regards,
