Abstract

This comprehensive review explores the intricate relationship between orthodontics and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) over the past decade, with a particular focus on studies conducted in the United Kingdom. The paper synthesizes findings regarding the airway effects of orthodontic interventions, the role of various orthodontic appliances, and their effectiveness in managing OSA symptoms. The literature review encompasses investigations into changes in airway dimensions, soft tissue structures, and breathing patterns resulting from orthodontic treatments. The effectiveness of appliances like mandibular advancement devices and palatal expanders is critically examined. The challenges and limitations in studying this relationship are discussed, addressing issues related to study design, sample sizes, and variability in orthodontic techniques.
