Will you breath through your nose normally?
Will less air corrode your teeth while you sleep?
Will it help with speech?

Every case is different. My hubby had it and still has problems. As for speech- he actually sounds more nasal-y then b4 it! (?not sure why though)
He sleeps a bit better though.
As for teeth- UGH! It's actually not the air that are doing the damage to your teeth (at least that's what we've been told)
My husband had tooth decay on MANY teeth because of a few things- #1 the antibiotics he was on for sinus infections and #2 the infections he had effected his teeth. He has several teeth that are decaying from the gum line down (top teeth) and from the gum line up (bottom teeth)
This is VERY common in people with sinus problems. My husband is NOT a dirty person :o) but his mouth is a mess from the 2 years we've been dealing with his sinus issues.

The surgery has great benefits. You will lessen your sleep apnea problems and cut back on snoring. You will also have a less of a "nasal twang" in your voice. Chances of sinus infections will lower as well. Going back to the sleep topic, because of sleep apnea and snoring, people who have this do not get a good night's rest. You will sleep much better after this procedure.

it will correct all the problems that you have from having a deviated septum...so whatever they may be. I heard you sleep way better.
Air Can corrode your teeth thats silly.

Lots of benefits! You will lose that nasal twang when you speak. You will breathe much better and even;y through each nostril.
corrosion of teeth by air? not relevent. Jusy have the surgery and feel what it is like to be normal again. I speak from experience here

The surgery will definitely help you breath better. It may change the sound of your voice. As far as your speech patterns, it will not help. If you are having problems with that, you should see a speech therapist. And why would air corrode your teeth? Never heard of that unless you have acid reflux from your stomach acids.

I would think so your still inhaling whether through your nose or through your mouth, shouldn't make a difference ya know. I have a dev septum too and have the same prob
