“…Thus, the current procedures in orthodontics-preventive, interceptive, or corrective-account for the urgent requirement to increase the pharyngeal airway space in addition to improving the smile and facial features. 1 Airway, breathing pattern, and craniofacial features are all so intertwined during growth and development that form can follow function and function can follow form. Respiratory impairment due to airway obstruction results in craniofacial deformity.…”

The diagnostic and treatment planning of orthodontics heavily depends on the function of breathing. Numerous studies have documented significant correlations between dentofacial, craniofacial, and pharyngeal anatomy. The link between mouth breathing and a narrowed airway that results in obstructive sleep apnea has been highlighted by numerous writers. Correcting either oral or bone issues, or both can eliminate related symptoms. It would be highly interesting to understand how the airway changes in size during orthodontic treatment by utilizing different treatment methods to comprehend and interpret the airway during diagnosis and treatment planning. Therefore a complete understanding of the concept of airway should be considered important. This chapter gives us an insight into the intricate detailing of how the various orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedic treatment signifies the changes in the dimensions of the pharyngeal airway.

The function of respiration is highly relevant to orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Significant relationships between pharyngeal, craniofacial as well as dentofacial structures have been reported in several studies. Many authors have emphasized that mouth breathing is concomitantly associated with constricted airway causing obstructive sleep apnoea. Associated symptoms can be cured with correction of either skeletal or dental problems or both. Therefore it would be very intriguing to understand and interpret the airway during diagnosis and treatment planning for a clear view of changes in the airway dimensions during the course of orthodontic treatment using various treatment modalities. Therefore a complete understanding of the concept of airway should be considered as an important one. This chapter gives us an insight to the intricate detailing on how the various orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedic treatment signifies the changes in the dimensions of pharyngeal airway.
