    Orthodontic Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Severe Cases

    Uploaded by

    Sree Cumar
    Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition where the airway collapses or becomes blocked during sleep, causing disrupted breathing. It can be caused by structural abnormalities in the throat that make it more likely to collapse during sleep. Mild to moderate cases of OSA can be treated with oral appliances like a mandibular advancement device that repositions the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open. More severe cases may require continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivered through a mask. Orthodontic appliances work to stabilize structures like the jaw and tongue to prevent airway collapse while sleeping.
