and intervention during childhood development in order to optimize normal growth of the airway and insure a lasting impact in the treatment of sleep-disordered breathing. With the help of orthodontists and myofunctional therapists and appropriate testing of nasal resistance in children, we may be able to recognize and treat children at risk of SDB early in life (1,34). Acknowledgement Some of the data presented here are part of the data collected for the PhD thesis of Dr YS Huang. These data were orally presented at the European Sleep Research Society 21st Congress September 2012. We thank Marion Girard-Gervais (D.U. reeducation maxillo-faciale) for her help in France and Dr. Shannon Sullivan for her help in editing the manuscript.
