AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of the McNamara rapid palatal expansion device for the treatment of sleep disorders in children.
METHODS: The sample enrolled 12 children aged 4-11 years. Children with snoring and bruxism whose parents did not agree to tonsil surgery were included in the study. During the initial evaluation, a questionnaire addressing sleep was administered, and plaster models were made for the construction of the McNamara rapid maxillary expansion device. The expansion period was 7-15 days, and the McNamara device was removed after 6-8 months. The same questionnaire was administered again after 30 days of use of the orthopedic appliance. The data were analyzed using the McNemar test, with the level of significance set to 5% (P<0.05).
RESULTS: Significant improvements were found in tiredness upon waking (P=0.002), mood (P=0.008), lip seal (P=0.031), drooling during sleep (P=0.031), snoring (P=0.001), and bruxism (P=0.0062).
CONCLUSION: The use of non-invasive methods, such as rapid maxillary expansion, can be an effective treatment for snoring and other undesirable sleep behaviors in children.
