                             HYPOTHESIS:

                             Outdated/anthropologically-uninformed
                             diagnostic tools (Angle Malocclusion
                             ClassificationSystem and mostly Steiner-based
                             cephalometric norms) are leading to r
                             inaccurate diagnoses, inappropriate Tx
                             recommendations and consequential
                             increased susceptibility to airway disease.
Sleep Breath. 2012 Jun;16(2):271-3.




Another possible explanation for our findings is that oral cavity features such as high
palates, narrow dental arches, and retruded chin all are additional risk factors for SDB in
children338. Kushida CA, Efron B, Guilleminault C. A predictive morphometric model for the obstructive
sleep apnea syndrome. Ann Intern Med. 1997;127:581–587

Although dentists and orthodontia recognize the importance of evaluating and treating
OSA, they have yet to realize howwell-positioned they are for the prevention of sleep-
disordered breathing (SDB).

“ …(malocclusion) is a
                            relatively new phenomenon in
                            the human population and we
                            do not find it in skeletons until
                            after the seventeenth century.
                            ” -Peter Gluckman




 “… jaw anomalies (malocclusions wherein the teeth cannot fit properly in the jaw) are
relatively new to European populations. Well-preserved skeletons from the 15th and
16th centuries show almost no malocclusion in the population….”

75% of children, ages 6 to 11 and 89% of youths, ages 12 to 17, have some
degree of malocclusion
                                 -
malocclusion in modern populations is higher than in ancient times.

                               Example: Assign an arbitrary control value for
                               airway radius of 1.0. A 50% reduction in airway
                               radius would mean that the new airway radius
                               would be 0.5. Now, according to Poiseuille, that
                               gives us...R = 1/(0.5)4
R = 1/0.0625 = 16
Therefore,
                               resistance to airflow is increased 16-fold with a
                               decrease in airway diameter (and radius) of 50%.
