Why it matters for dental
Orthodontists and practice owners should track the AAO task force because any future policy changes on sleep-disordered breathing could alter clinical protocols and referral patterns within the specialty.
Key points

The American Association of Orthodontists formed a seven-member Sleep-Disordered Breathing Task Force to evaluate evolving research and clinical practices.
- 02
