Should I get jaw surgery?
The first three pictures are my profile with my bite how it actually is. In the fourth picture, I am jutting my bottom jaw forward, and the last picture is a possible jaw surgery result that I created based on the fourth picture.
Recently, I got an in-lab sleep study with an RDI of 12.7 and an AHI of 0. I don't believe it was accurate though because I was really anxious during the study and only slept a few hours. I also only had 4 min of REM sleep. I think my RDI is probably higher normally. Anyways, I got the sleep study because I've been feeling mentally unwell for almost a decade. I started feeling mentally not normal around the time I got retractive orthodontics from 12-14. Every day feels like a dream, like I never really woke up from the night before. I feel like I am half asleep all the time, and I am in a perpetual daydream that I can't snap out of. I feel disconnected from reality, like my consciousness is in a different dimension. Time passes by so quickly and it's like I'm watching life happen without ever living. I can't really feel love, connection, or sadness anymore, and it's like life has no depth. I can't remember the last time I had a restful night of sleep. I'm not even sure I remember what that feels like. When my sleep first started getting bad, I started getting extreme anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Now I don't usually feel anxiety, and my heartbeat is slow, but I don't feel calm either. I didn't even know I didn't feel calm until I felt actual calmness for like 1 second and then I realized that's how I used to feel and I had forgotten. It made me understand why people enjoy living, because I was confused about that before. I tried using a CPAP but I hated the way the pressure felt and it didn't improve my sleep. I also tried using a tongue stabilizing device but it was so uncomfortable. I heard many people with UARS have these symptoms, and I believe the solution is to open up my airway by advancing my jaws forward. My mom doesn't believe how I mentally feel is due to my sleep, but I believe it is. She says 'depression' and 'anxiety' cause these symptoms. I don't understand her. Does she think those things appear out of nowhere without any cause? She believes poor mental health is what is causing me to sleep bad, not that my poor sleep is causing mental effects. Well I tried everything to improve my mental health and my sleep, but nothing worked.
I was wondering if anyone who had these symptoms was able to feel better after mma surgery. Also, is it possible to get jaw surgery covered by insurance with an RDI of 12.7 but an AHI of 0?
