Braces for breathing? study tests if jaw devices can ease Kids' airway struggles
NCT ID NCT04190953
Summary
This study is investigating whether common orthodontic treatments can help children with specific jaw alignment issues breathe better. Researchers will treat 90 children, aged 8-14, who have a small upper jaw and a recessed lower jaw, using devices to expand the upper jaw and reposition the lower jaw. The main goal is to see if these dental changes actually improve airflow and reduce breathing effort, which could help with related sleep and behavioral problems.
