The board of trustees of the American Association of Orthodontists requested that a panel of orthodontic experts in dental sleep medicine update the 2019 American Association of Orthodontists white paper and create a document to guide practicing orthodontists on the role of orthodontics in managing obstructive sleep apnea. The present updated white paper summarizes the task force's findings and recommendations.
