The relationship of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea with head and neck posture, hyoid bone position and airway dimensions
Pediatric patients with OSA, aged 9 to 16, demonstrated increased cranio-cervical and cranio-vertical angles, indicating a more extended head posture. This postural adaptation may serve as a clinical indicator of OSA in the pediatric orthodontic population.
