   My son was born with a "deviated septum" – as well as a small lower jaw and tongue – he has an underbit – he has surgery 2 years ago to correct his tongue and septum.  The surgery did not work – and he continues to complain of inability to breath through his nose and headaches at 21 years.  The dentist wants to re-align his jaw – but that is also an awful surgery..   What should be our next steps?

   Bryan,

   As I pointed out in the article, having a deviated septum is not the only reason for a stuffy nose. You also have to address the nasal turbinates as well as the nasal valves. Did you ever try using Breathe Rite strips to lift up your nostrils?

Got something to say?
