There was a longitudinal decrease in soft tissue volume and depth difference in extraoral soft tissues in the region of implant placement after surgery up to 6 weeks. The use of a facial scanner is a promising noninvasive method to monitor 3D morphometric changes after implant surgery.

In summary, this study will serve as evidence to guide clinicians in deciding whether to perform the T&A on patients prior to functional therapy based on a wide range of objectively and subjectively measured outcomes and provide a reference for multidisciplinary management of OSA with craniofacial alterations in growing children.

For infants up to age three months, 3D images were performed in our neonatal intermediate care unit in the supine position using a 10Hz 3dMDface.t System with this set-up being developed specifically for this study. Subsequently, 3D images were taken in an upright position with infants sitting on their parent’s lap in the department of orthodontics using a 10Hz 3dMDtrio.t system.
