Why Should My Child Receive Arch Development ?
Airway treatment can significantly enhance your child's Oral and overall health by improving Arch form, function and stablility.
How Can My Child Benefit from Airway Treatment?
Breathing is one of the most vital functions of the human body. Mouth breathing, a sign of airway deficiency, is linked to numerous health issues in adults, such as sleep-disordered breathing, fatigue, decreased productivity, and a poorer quality of life.Children's breathing patterns can influence the development of the face, mouth, and dental arches. Where a child shows signs such as mouth breathing, crowding, or disrupted sleep, an orthodontic evaluation can help determine whether early orthodontic guidance may be appropriate.
How We Can Help:
Our removable orthodontic appliances are used to guide development of the dental arches and to create room for the permanent teeth, which may reduce the likelihood of extractions or more involved treatment later. Some children and families also report improvements in oral posture and sleep, though results vary by individual and are not guaranteed.
Concerns about attention, behavior, or a possible sleep disorder should be evaluated by your child's physician. We work alongside your child's medical providers, not in place of them.
Early Orthodontic Guidance May Promote:
A healthier, more beautiful smile
Better oral health and function
Promotes nasal breathing
Guides and promotes the natural arch development
*Diagnosis requires evaluation by the appropriate medical provider. We coordinate with your medical team and do not replace medical care.
By addressing these issues early, we help to ensure a healthier smile and brighter future for your child.
