HOW SLEEP IS IMPACTED AFTER ONE YEAR OF PALATE EXPANSION

I was tired of waking up tired. So I decided to do something about it.

It’s now been one year since I’ve begun working with Dr. Brian Hockel on expanding my palate with the Crozat appliance. And the results so far have been pretty solid.

Let’s dive into all the changes that have happened within the last year!

To improve my sleep, I've done a bunch of different treatments, which I will outline in this video, including:

- Crozat appliance
- Myofunctional therapy
- Lip taping
- Vivaer procedure

Each of these were aimed at improving my ability to breathe nasally.

Once we go into the details with each procedure, we will then look at the following variables that I "measured" to see if I got any worthwhile change:

1. Subjective sleep quality
2. Neck pain
3. Tongue posture
4. Nasal breathing capability
5. Sleep study

You'll find out what did (and did not) happen after one year of treatment!
