If you think that helping kids and adults with sleep-disordered breathing and airway issues is a solo act, think again.

In dentistry, collaboration, and interdisciplinary approaches are becoming increasingly vital for addressing complex health issues.

Recent research and advancements have unveiled the significant impact orthodontists can have on improving sleep disorder breathing and airway issues.

Today, we delve into the pivotal role of orthodontists within the interdisciplinary airway team.

Orthodontists possess in-depth knowledge of craniofacial growth and development. By understanding the intricate relationship between the teeth, jaws, and airway, they can identify and address underlying structural issues that contribute to sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
