HealthyStart® orthodontic treatment for
children
Do your kids have problems breathing while sleeping? Perhaps they have tongue and speech issues. Our HealthyStart dental program will help them sleep and breathe easily while supporting the healthy growth of their teeth and jaw.
What Do Breathing And Sleep Have To Do With
teeth health
We learn how to breathe properly in our formative years. However, while we are naturally designed to breathe through the nose, children tend to breathe through their mouth when they have allergies, colds, or small nasal passages, making it a habit, especially during sleep. This condition is also known as sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) or sleep apnea.
The result of mouth breathing has dire consequences. Their developing bodies and brains don't get enough oxygen, and their tongue rests in the wrong place in their mouth, causing poor jaw growth and crooked teeth - but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
