Orthodontics and obstructive sleep apnea in children
Children who suffer from respiratory problems and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
commonly exhibit disturbances of craniofacial morphology. A significant number
have nasal obstruction associated with a narrow maxilla; maxillary constriction
may increase nasal resistance and alter the tongue posture, leading to narrowing
of the retroglossal airway and OSA. Sixty children with a case history of oral
breathing, snoring, and night time apneas were studied. An orthognathodontic
investigation was performed using radiographs that included not only the usual
examinations (posteroanterior cephalographs and intraoral radiographs) but also
computed tomographic scans. This article discusses the materials and methods and
the results of this study
