This study investigates the hypothesis that, in children, tongue motor functions can predict both the anatomical site and the degree of upper airway obstruction contributing to obstructive sleep-disordered breathing.
Patients will be enrolled during their visit to the ENT physician. Subsequently, their tongue motor functions will be assessed during their pre-surgical appointment. Finally, they will undergo a drug-induced sleep endoscopy prior to their surgery.

Assessed through the Motricité Bucco-Linguo-Faciale (MBLF) tongue test score
| During the pre-surgical appointment |
| Tongue pressures (kPa) | Tongue pressures will be measured with the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI), in kPa, during a protrusion, an elevation, and a swallowing task. | During the pre-surgical appointment |
| Tongue mobility restriction due to its frenulum ratio (%) | The ratio between the maximal comfortable mouth opening, with the tongue tip to the incisive papilla, and the maximal comfortable mouth opening, will be computed. | During the pre-surgical appointment |
