-How to recognize the patients at high risk of OSA and to differentiate craniofacial phenotype of OSA? -How to integrate craniofacial morphometric analysis with functional sleep assessment? -How to treat the growing sleep-disordered breathing patients to apply timely-target precision approach? -How to treat adult OSA patients with complicated phenotype in orthodontic practice? -How to modify orthodontic treatment plan for patients potentially at risk of OSA?
Learning Objectives:
After this lecture, attendees will be able to:
Recognize the patients at high risk of OSA in a daily orthodontic practice, and to differentiate craniofaocial phenotype of OSA, based on the integration of morphometric analysis with functional assessment.
Make a precision treatment plan for OSA patients. Systemized orthodontic treatment protocols will be suggested for growing and non-growing OSA patients, respectively.
Modify orthodontic treatment plan for the patients at high risk of OSA to secure upper airway function with esthetic improvement.
