Sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder where airflow is repeatedly reduced or interrupted during sleep. In children, it can affect behavior, focus, and daytime energy. In adults, untreated sleep apnea can be linked to serious health risks. While diagnosis is made by a physician (often through a sleep study), a dental or orthodontic exam can help identify airway-related risk factors and support treatment.
