The work of Dr. Mew and people making similar claims, such as the authors of the book "Jaws", is controversial at best.

Honestly, that whole comment section felt pretty emotional and low quality. I haven't touched things like myofunctional therapy or wearable appliances in my post because those really maybe are "controversial at best", but the effects of RPE on SDB, especially in children, have been widely replicated by multiple independent research groups.

Calling something controversial is also an easy way to undermine credibility without actually making any concrete explanations as to whether it is true or not. Are there any specific points in my post that you disagree with?
