Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) affects both adults and children, and dentists can play a key role in identifying and addressing these conditions. SDB includes primary snoring, mouth breathing, and interrupted breathing. Early intervention is crucial, especially in children, as treatment can be more successful due to the impact of growth on treatment stability.

Collaboration between dentists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals is essential for effective treatment. A team-based approach and personalized treatment plans can lead to the most effective outcomes.
