| description | With the change in concepts of orthodontics over the years, the focus today has slowly shifted to airway-centered orthodontics.
Several pathological conditions of the craniofacial region both genetic and epigenetic in origin can contribute to nasal and airway
resistance and airway collapse, all of which could sooner or later predispose the patients to sleep-related breathing disorders. These
have serious implications on the lifestyle, body homeostasis, and cardiovascular system. On the other hand increased resistance to
airflow through the upper respiratory tract can lead to mouth breathing tendency or snoring at a young age which ultimately hinders the
normal transverse, sagittal and vertical development of the craniofacial complex especially of the stomatognathic system. This review
focuses on the two-way relationship between the airway and craniofacial region. It also attempts to point out the need to consider the
various goals of airway-centered orthodontics as various orthodontic treatment modalities impact the airway in a significant manner
both positively and negatively. |
