Abstract

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) induces dysfunction of the orofacial muscles, leading to morphologic alteration of the face and dental malalignment. Early diagnosis and treatment of SDB is required in pediatric patients to ensure normal facial growth. Myofunctional therapy (MFT) is a modality for the treatment of SDB and prefabricated appliances can be used. Herein 2 cases of malocclusion with SDB, in which MFT with a prefabricated appliance was used for orthodontic treatment, have been described. SDB was diagnosed based on clinical symptoms taken by interview and home respiratory polygraphy. In both cases, SDB was improved using prefabricated appliance for MFT. However, resolution of crowding depended on the degree of crowding.

수면호흡장애는 구강악안면 근육 기능부전을 유발하여 안모의 형태이상 및 부정교합을 유발할 수 있다. 소아치과 영역에서 수면호흡장애의 조기 진단과 치료는 이러한 합병증을 차단하여 정상적인 안모 성장을 유지할 수 있다는 점에서 중요하다. 수면호흡장애의 치료법 중에 하나로 근기능요법이 있으며 기성 근기능 장치가 보조적으로 사용될 수 있다. 본 증례들에서는 수면호흡장애가 있는 부정교합 환자들에게 기성 근기능 장치를 사용하여 수면호흡장애를 해소하는 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다. 하지만 총생의 개선 효과는 그 정도에 따라 차이가 발생할 수 있으므로 이에 대한 한계점은 고려할 필요가 있다.
