Hello,
No, sleep apnea mask can not produce permanent dents on skull.
Headphones also don't cause permanent skull Dents. So possibility of congenital skull deformity is more likely. You might have observed this now but it is there since birth.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
