Kids' teeth misalignment linked to sleep apnea risk?
NCT ID NCT07561606
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether children aged 6 to 12 with a specific teeth alignment issue (posterior crossbite) are more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will use a questionnaire to measure sleep apnea risk in 420 children. The goal is to understand if there is a connection between the two conditions.
