In children, adolescents, and young adults, where skeletal and dental development is dynamic, routine imaging can reveal subclinical manifestations of systemic diseases, often preceding overt symptoms. These conditions can produce distinct craniofacial alterations, impacting bone metabolism and orthodontic tooth movement, thereby requiring adjustments to orthodontic biomechanics. Crucially, referral to a medical practitioner is essential for appropriate management in more complex cases involving incidental findings. Dental panoramic radiographs, lateral cephalograms, and cone beam computed tomography are important tools for identifying these anomalies.

Dental professionals are uniquely positioned to not only screen and treat patients with sleep disordered breathing but also prevent the development of known risk factors that can contribute to airway instability. As the field continues to grow, so too does our understanding of this complex disease. The ability, and hence the responsibility, to treat thus falls upon several disciplines. From orthodontists to maxillofacial surgeons and otolaryngologist, from sleep medicine to myofunctional therapist, the multidisciplinary approach is therefore the foundational component of the treatment algorithm used to treat these patients. This review presents a Site-Specific Sleep Surgery Algorithm for Obstructive Sleep Apnea, offering a general overview of various surgical techniques, and emphasizes how a multidisciplinary team collaboration model including orthodontists in skeletal sleep surgery is essential for achieving optimal outcomes. Ultimately, bringing together the expertise of multiple specialties leads to more effective, patient-focused treatments for obstructive sleep apnea.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48688,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Orthodontics","volume":"31 4","pages":"Pages 509-519"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144842499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
