Tongue restriction

Has anyone’s health anxiety been about tongue restriction and obsessing over frenectomy to correct this? I

can’t tell if I need a surgery to correct this or if I’m mentally putting myself through the trouble. I can feel the tightness in my mouth and it feels very different to what it used to feel for me. Curious if anyone has any suggestions, has gotten the surgery or has found solutions to stopping this problem from happening.

Did Frenectomy help

After a lot of Myofunctjonal therapy, mostly palatal suction, I’ve noticed that my tongue restriction has worsened. I have a tough time getting back half of tongue to lift at all when speaking or at rest. I’ve noticed speaking feels harder than it should. Does it sound like a Frenectomy would be helpful in my situation?

Minor Tongue tie/ restriction

Has anyone noticed a great deal of improvement by getting a Frenectomy?

I also have fragmented sleep that I’m trying to find a resolution for.

However, I can’t help but notice I’ve been stumbling over words much more recently and can’t tell if a Frenectomy would resolve this or not.

Mild tongue tie restriction, nasal breathing, floor of mouth compensation

How do I get rid of floor of mouth compensation with mild deviated septum, sleep issues, and myofunctional therapy seemingly restricting tongue tie more as a 25 year old adult with inability to raise posterior tongue well as a lot of floor of mouth compensation when tongue does get raised?

Is the bottleneck the nose or do I have to do something to the tongue tie? What do you do at night that helps, would MAD help notice my overbite may be coming

Frenectomy or not /how bad/ what grade/ anterior or poster

Speech is slightly affected, swallowing and eating no problems, but I’m unsure if I should let this play out for a couple months and if it’s all a sleep issue that could get resolved with a MAD or PAP machine.

Has anyone regretted frenectomy after getting one with a minor restriction like shown above? I tore frenum slightly while doing excessive suction. And I’m wondering what this will feel like in a month.

Getting machine

Have had sleep disordered breathing for 7-8 months where my nose has been blocked, jaw has been dysfunctional; tight jaw and neck muscles, along with difficulty concentrating and nervous system arousal during day and night I’m sure.

Can anyone recommend a way of getting a machine without going through the hoops of traditional sleep medicine?

I know I have UARS, but also know an at home sleep study will not show much poor sleep and am not willing to pay for an in lab sleep study.

Nose blockage, sleep issues and tongue restriction

Does anyone recommend how to treat these issues: a minor posterior tongue tie, breathing problems especially at night due to “a bit of a deviated septum,” and feeling like nervous system is constantly on edge?

Tongue tie restriction is easily the most noticeable and temporalis muscles are tight from clenching at night. I don’t know how much of it is due to nose blockage or tongue tightness, but it’s so frustrating.

Any advice/ similarities anyone?

Tongue tie release with MAD oral appliance at night

Has anyone found any advice with getting a frenectomy and using an MAD? I’m debating this route but somewhat unsure because I want to think that the tongue tie is restricting my tongue from going where I want it to go and thus causing some breathing restriction.

There is a blockage in my nose as well, so I’m trying to figure out the best way to resolve this. Has anyone went this route and had it backfire? Any unsuccessful tongue tie releases in an attempt to resolve Tmj related issues, and poor sleep?

Rev 1882 form/ Joining my dads plan through IBX outside of open enrollment

Is there any shot that I can get into this plan outside of open enrollment? My dad has his own business and has his own health plan set up for his employees and i foolishly cancelled my own health insurance 2 months ago without having any set up, it’s been more than 60 days that I did this and it was voluntary.

My dad’s receptionist said that she’s added people outside of open enrollment but then we got an email back saying that I need a qualifying live event.

I talked to Pennie which is Pennsylvania’s health insurance marketplace and they said that if I fill out the REV-1882 form I’d be able to re enroll in a plan outside of open enrollment. Is this true without having a qualifying life event?

Will I have to wait til next January to get re-enrolled?

Are there any ways for me to claim that I didn’t mean to cancel my plan on the phone when I did, Pennie checked the phone call and confirmed that it was voluntary.

Has anyone had success with enrolling in a plan like Jefferson health plans or IBX after they voluntarily canceled their own plan?

Regrets expansion

I’ve been trying to get to the root cause of my problems recently and can’t decide if I should focus more on this route or going through ENT/sleep specialists to see if I can get treatment or is there a scenario for me where Marpe is the only answer, even if my palate doesn’t seem too small at 35mm?

Has anyone went forward with the process and got expansion and regrets their decision to do so? I’ve an orthodontic consult in week and a Sleep specialist appointment the same week and may have to choose between 2, consulted ENT who referred me to sleep study so far. Don’t want to overly commit here if first airway dentist could be wrong about my case and I choose to go more invasive right and he was wrong I could regret, even though my symptoms are muscular Tmj and now starting to show up as more myofunctional and breathing recently.
