Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder that can cause daytime sleepiness, poor concentration, mood changes, and reduced quality of life. Orthodontists play an important role in screening and identifying OSA because of their knowledge of the upper airway.Treatment should be individualized and multidisciplinary. Oral appliances are effective for mild to moderate OSA, while maxillomandibular advancement surgery may be required in severe cases. Regular follow-up is important to monitor treatment effectiveness, compliance, and complications. New technologies and artificial intelligence may further improve the screening and management of OSA.
