Interventions
The following item will be assessed in all subjects (n=420): 1\. Sleep, through the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire.
The following items will be assessed in all subjects (n=420): 2\. Anthropometric data : 2.1 Height; 2.2 Weight; 2.3 Maximal mouth opening; 2.4 Maximal mouth opening with tongue to palate (with the Quick Tongue-Tie assessment tool)
The following items will be assessed in all subjects (n=420): 3\. Tongue pressure (in kPa) exerted against the IOPI (Iowa Oral Performance Instrument) bulb while swallowing. 4\. Tongue peak pressure (i.e., the maximal pressure - Pmax - exerted against the IOPI bulb) during 3 sec. of tongue elevation. 5\. Tongue peak pressure during 3 sec. of tongue protrusion.
The following items will be assessed in all subjects (n=420): 6\. The tongue endurance (i.e., the time to task failure in maintaining a pressure equal to 50%Pmax against the IOPI bulb) during tongue elevation. 7\. The tongue endurance during tongue protrusion.
\- The following item will be assessed in a subset of subjects (n=31): 8. Orofacial praxis through the Motricité Bucco-Linguo-Faciale (MBLF) test.
