It is obviously a medical necessity for me (having UARS, sleep apnea, and narrow nasal passage) but the insurance classifies it as just dental. It is in fact not for aesthetics or straightening teeth alone, as it can significantly improve the airway by widening the nasal passage and also creating more space for the tongue.

The Airway Ortho that I did an orientation with is Daia Ortho and they are the perfect place but that shit cost $7k (not included braces or Invisalign) and I can't work consistently enough to even afford that.

My health issues have beaten me down and kept me in poverty so how the f*ck am I even supposed to take care of that?? $7k?? $1k down payment??

Not sure if my ENT is even aware about adult Palatal expansion, but they are getting me set for Submucosal turbinate reduction surgery.

But, I'm beginning to become VERY anxious about it because of empty nose syndrome. Basically making it a pointless superficial procedure....

My insurance is BCC (Blue Care Complete of Michigan)
