Your Child’s Airway
Breathing is the single most important action you do all your life. The air you breathe supplies your body with the oxygen that you need to survive, to thrive, and to function optimally.
Millions of people of all ages aren’t breathing well due to airway insufficiencies. Airway insufficiency is the cause of disordered breathing and results in an inadequate oxygen supply to every cell of your body.
Understanding
the Danger of Mouth Breathing
Normal, healthy breathing is done through the nose, NOT through the mouth. Each nostril functions independently and synergistically to filter pollutants, warm, moisturize, and dehumidify air, and provide sense of smell. The act of breathing through your nose is the only way air can be properly prepared to enter the lungs.
ADHD
and Sleep
Sleep is vital for the growth and development of all children. In light of current research, parents of children with ADHD should pay especially close attention to the impact lack of sleep can have on a child's development and behavior. Addressing the issues of improper airway function could provide a solution for your child that means less medication and healthier sleep.

Treatment
Airway treatment addresses the compensations for a hampered airway. If your child cannot easily breathe through the nose both day and night, hold his/her lips together as a habit, rest the tongue on the palate when not talking or eating, or swallow without the aid of facial muscles, then we know trouble will follow.
With our treatment we are able to correct your child’s face development. This correction allows a child’s facial muscles to properly develop forward and downward markedly improving face and jaw growth.
