Premolar Extractions for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children With Overjet

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This research aims to provide pediatric patients with polysomnography (a sleep study) before and after orthodontic treatment to determine if the extraction of upper premolars for treating excessive overjet results in an increase of the AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index) compared to similar patients treated without upper premolar extractions.

Official Title

The Effect of Upper Premolars Extraction on Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Growing Children With Prominent Upper Front Teeth
