    Interesting. Anyone who has had to deal with OSA before can probably immediately recognise that the positive airflow solution is a rather primitive approach (with side effects on oral hygiene) and manipulation of the jaw, plus other non-physical treatments, should be considered.

      That sounds like a terrible idea to begin with. I can’t even fathom why your dad would think dislocating your jaw to go to sleep was a good idea.
