“…The survey results shed light on the prevalence of OSA symptoms in both adults and children, as well as the existing gaps in awareness, particularly concerning orthodontic treatment options. The findings suggest a potential role for orthodontic interventions in addressing OSA symptoms, 17 emphasizing the importance of comprehensive education and awareness campaigns to better inform the public about the condition and available treatment modalities.…”

This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) while investigating awareness and readiness for orthodontic treatment. The primary objectives were to understand the burden of OSA and explore the potential role of orthodontic interventions in managing this condition. The study employed a cross-sectional design, including a sample of 48 adults and 46 children from various geographical areas in Chennai. Craniofacial morphology assessments and validated questionnaires (Berlin Questionnaire for adults, Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire for children) were utilized for OSA risk assessment. Participants were screened for risk factors and symptoms, and their awareness of OSA and willingness to pursue orthodontic treatment were evaluated. Ethical guidelines were adhered to, and data were collected through standardized forms and electronic databases.Among the surveyed adults, 85.7% were identified as loud snorers, and significant proportions experienced daytime fatigue (53.6%) and choking during sleep (46.4%). Findings also revealed disrupted sleep patterns in 57.1% of adults, with 32.1% seeking medical consultation. Notably, 25% were aware of OSA, and none were familiar with orthodontic treatments. However, 53.6% expressed willingness to undergo orthodontic appliance treatment. In the pediatric population, 31% of children were loud snorers, and 34.5% experienced tiredness at school. While 17.2% of parents were familiar with OSA, only 3.3% knew about orthodontic treatments. Nevertheless, 34.5% expressed a willingness to pursue orthodontic appliance treatment for their children. The study reveals a significant prevalence of OSA symptoms in both adults and children. Despite a high prevalence of symptoms, awareness of OSA and knowledge about orthodontic treatment options are notably low. Overall, enhancing public understanding of OSA and its treatment options can pave the way for more diverse and effective interventions.

Native iron oxide attracts iron, also a bar of iron or steel that attracts iron has magnetic polarity this is called a magnet. Whereas the study of properties of magnets, magnetic substances and of associated phenomena is called magnetism. Magnets are used in number of conditions like, Relocation of Unerupted teeth; Molar intrusion and correction of anterior open bite; Maxillary expansion; Molar distalization; Space closure with magnets; Functional appliances for correction of Class II and Class III malocclusion; Closure of midline diastema; Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, snoring; Correction of hemifacial microsomia; Extrusion of crown-root fractured teeth. The various types of magnets used in the field of orthodontics, along with their biological safety which has been discussed in this article.

“…Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an increasingly common pediatric, chronic disease defined by the American Academy of sleep medicine as a sleep-related breathing disorder characterized by repetitive episodes of complete or partial upper airway obstruction leading to a short-term cessation of ventilation or significant reduction of airflow during sleep. (1,2) The prevalence of OSA among children is defined to be ranging from 1% to 4% (3,4). However, some risk factors include obesity, increasing age, craniofacial morphology, genetics, and syndromes… It may induce a reduction of pharynx size or a rise in airway collapsibility, which leads to a higher prevalence of the pathology (5).…”

Background: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is considered to be a real public health problem, often unrecognized or underdiagnosed, requiring multidisciplinary care including orthodontics that plays an essential role in the screening and the management of ventilation. Objective: The aim of our study is to explain the important place of orthodontic therapies, whether orthopedic or surgical, in the multidisciplinary management of OSA and in the improvement of nasal breathing through a systematic review. Material and methods: A search of the literature was performed in the following databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library . The search was limited to publications written in English and French from 2010 to January 2022. Results: On the basis of the keywords, eighty-three references were initially identified. After the elimination of duplicates, the number of articles was reduced to seventy-nine. The study of the titles and abstracts made it possible to select fifty articles. After reading the full text, sixteen publications were included in this systematic review. Eight studies have investigated rapid maxillary expansion (RME), five studies have evaluated the effect of mandibular advancement (MA) and three studies have investigated the effect of genioplasty in children with OSA. Conclusion: Orthodontic arsenal, whether orthopedic, orthodontic, or surgical correction of jaws, is well suited and extremely beneficial for OSA treatment.
