Multicenter clinical trial for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with a non-permanent orthodontic intraoral device in children
• This oral appliance is the first one FDA cleared for OSA treatment in children, and this study showed that slow maxillary expansion by this device was safe and efficacious for treating pediatric OSA. It is also the only pediatric non-permanent orthodontic device that is removable and intermittently worn to treat OSA.
