ORTHODONTICS AND ITS IMPACT ON SLEEP QUALITY CAUSED BY OBSTRUCTIVE APNEA

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a respiratory disorder characterized by episodes of partial and/or complete obstruction during sleep, where breathing is interrupted or becomes shallow, resulting in decreased oxygen in the blood and micro-arousals that fragment sleep. The objective is to understand the connection between orthodontic or orthopedic treatments and the improvement they produce in this disorder. Identify the causes and consequences of obstructive sleep apnea in patients, as well as the effects of orthodontic treatments used to improve the condition. The search was conducted in PubMed, Scielo, Google Scholar, and Springerlink; MeSH terms "Sleep Apnea, Obstructive/therapy" AND Orthodontics. La apnea obstructiva del sueño (AOS) es un trastorno respiratorio caracterizado por episodios de obstrucción parcial y/o completa durante el sueño donde la respiración se interrumpe o se vuelve superficial, lo que resulta en una disminución del oxígeno en la sangre y microdespertares que fragmentan el sueño. El objetivo es comprender la conexión entre los tratamientos ortodónticos u ortopédicos y la mejora que producen en este trastorno. Identificar las causas y las consecuencias de la apnea obstructiva del sueño en los pacientes, así como los efectos de los tratamientos ortodóncicos utilizados para mejorar la enfermedad. La búsqueda se realizó en PubMed, Scielo, Google Académico y Springerlink; Términos MeSH "Sleep Apnea, Obstructive/therapy" AND Orthodontics.
