Case report demonstrates improved sleep quality and breathing in a patient with obstructive sleep apnea and malocclusion, highlighting the value of multidisciplinary dental interventions.
When addressing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients, it becomes crucial to consider additional dental factors such as dental malocclusions and bruxism.Taking a personalized approach that takes into account individual anatomy, medical history, lifestyle, and preferences is vital for comprehensive patient care.In this report, we present a case study where a combination of oral appliance therapy, clear aligners, myofunctional therapy, and home remedies for nasal congestion provided remarkable enhancements in the patient's sleep quality and breathing patterns.This case underscores the importance of employing a multidisciplinary strategy when managing OSA patients with concurrent dental conditions, highlighting the significance of integrating various treatment modalities for optimal outcomes.
