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. However, its effects are even more significant in children. During critical developmental years, proper breathing patterns are essential for shaping face, mouth and airways. If left untreated, mouth breathing or airway restrictions can lead to lifelong health, oral, and respiratory issues.

Children with these issues often experience irritability, daytime drowsiness, chronic allergies and symptoms that may be mistaken for attention deficit disorders and hyperactivity. The National Sleep Foundation links ADHD to various sleep problems, underscoring the importance of early intervention. Inadequate sleep and oxygen can have significant impacts on a child's development and overall well-being.

How We Can Help:

If your child shows signs of airway restriction, we offer effective solutions. By guiding the natural growth of the jaws forward, we can alter their growth trajectory, creating the necessary space for permanent teeth and facilitating proper tongue posture to encourage nasal breathing. This approach not only reduces or eliminates the need for braces, but also offers an alternative to extractions and headgear all while creating more airway space to help your child breath, sleep and wake feeling their best!
