A Lasting Solution for Sleep Apnea Starts Here
If you wake up feeling tired, struggle with snoring, or never feel fully rested, sleep apnea may be the cause. At Atlanta’s Institute for Surgical Correction of Sleep Apnea & Airway Disorders, we specialize in advanced surgical treatments designed to address the underlying cause of airway obstruction—not simply manage the symptoms.
For many patients, surgical correction can provide a long-term solution and significantly reduce or eliminate the need for CPAP therapy.

Nasomaxillary Expansion
By moving the upper and lower jaws forward, maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) enlarges the entire airway. Widely considered the gold standard surgical treatment for severe obstructive sleep apnea, MMA addresses the anatomical cause of airway obstruction rather than simply managing symptoms.
Maxillomandibular Advancement
Nasomaxillary expansion widens the upper jaw and nasal airway, creating more space for airflow through the nose and upper airway. This procedure can improve breathing, increase oral volume, and address underlying skeletal deficiencies that contribute to airway obstruction.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects skeletal jaw discrepancies that affect bite function, facial balance, and airway health. By repositioning the jaws, treatment can improve chewing, speech, facial aesthetics, and breathing while creating a more stable, functional bite.
What Makes Us Different?
Dr. Christian A. Loetscher has dedicated a significant portion of his practice to orthognathic surgery and the surgical correction of obstructive sleep apnea. Unlike many surgeons who perform these procedures only occasionally, our team treats airway and jaw-related conditions on a routine basis, providing patients with a level of experience that few centers can offer.
Our approach focuses on identifying and correcting the anatomical cause of airway obstruction through advanced surgical techniques, including maxillomandibular advancement (MMA)—widely recognized as the gold standard surgical treatment for severe obstructive sleep apnea.
Patients benefit from treatment in our fully accredited, state-of-the-art surgical center, designed specifically for complex jaw and airway procedures. Utilizing advanced 3D imaging, virtual surgical planning, and modern fixation techniques, we deliver precise, predictable outcomes while maximizing patient safety and comfort.
