Abstract
This study details the role that the orthodontist can play, when faced with sleeping obstructive apneas and snoring phénomena. Of special importance are knowledge of cranio-facial growth, radiographic exam and cephalometric analysis: they mainly help to understand all the aspects of this specific syndrome, and reveal the interest for a neuro-orthodontic or a neuro-surgical orthodontic approach.
