Case report analysis
Assessment of dento‐skeletal malocclusions

Severe dento‐skeletal malocclusions identified
Craniofacial anomalies did not uniformly predict respiratory compromise.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This case emphasizes the importance of comprehensive orthodontic and sleep evaluations in Cantù syndrome. Despite severe dento‐skeletal malocclusions, the patient exhibited low risk of obstructive sleep apnea (PSQ score < 0.33), emphasizing that craniofacial anomalies do not uniformly predict respiratory compromise. Individualized assessment and awareness of behavioral and molecular factors are essential for optimal care.
