3D orthopedic development for pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

3D orthopedic development for pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Orthodontic Practice US (Volume 7 Number 2) | March 31, 2016

Formulas for arch width expansion are currently based on dental space and skeletal calculations and are not applicable nor are they validated in the treatment of pediatric OSA. Treating children with OSA requires a new formula of skeletal development for both maxilla and mandible based on correction of the immediate medical problem evaluated by overnight sleep testing called polysomnography (PSG) (attended) or home sleep testing (HST) (unattended).
