Dentofacial deformities as independent predictors of sleep disorders: a cross-sectional study of young adults
These findings suggest a significant association between dentofacial characteristics and sleep quality in young adults. Protruding facial profiles and anterior crossbites were identified as independent predictors for SDs. These findings underscore the importance of screening for SDs in individuals with dentofacial deformities and highlight the potential benefits of early correction of such dentofacial abnormalities to reduce the risk of SDs in adulthood.
