Summary

Myofunctional therapy has been shown to be effectively reduce symptoms of paediatric sleep apnea. As the effectiveness of reeducation relies on parental involvement and child's compliance, the investigator's research question was to evaluate two methods of myofunctional therapy (daily oral exercices versus a flexible oral appliance, both in combination with nasal hygiene), compared to nasal hygiene alone (control group).
