What this Trial Is About
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) is a common breathing disorder in children that can lead to serious health issues if untreated. This research aims to explore whether children with a certain orthodontic condition called transverse maxillary deficiency are more likely to develop OSAHS compared to those with other types of orthodontic problems. Identifying a link could help healthcare providers detect OSAHS earlier and refer children for appropriate care sooner. Participants are grouped based on their orthodontic condition: those with transverse maxillary deficiency and those with other types of orthodontic deficiencies such as tooth rotation, crowding, or mild dental occlusion issues. Every participant will undergo an overnight ventilatory polysomnograph test to monitor their breathing during sleep. This is an interventional study without random assignment to groups. Children aged 6 to 16 years will be involved, and their participation includes clinical evaluations and the overnight sleep test. Researchers will measure if transverse maxillary deficiency increases the risk of OSAHS one month after enrollment. They will also assess the severity of this orthodontic issue in relation to OSAHS severity, frequency of snoring events, and the usefulness of a sleep disorder screening scale for children aged 4 to 16 years. Consent from both the child and their legal guardians is required for participation.
