Try Our Quiz
If your child wakes frequently in the night, is very tired and restless during the day, and suddenly has trouble paying attention, this could be due to poor sleep. For many children, limited air intake while sleeping prevents them from resting well. If this is the case, they may benefit from airway orthodontics. To get started, visit our website and take our two-minute quiz. The quiz will ask a few questions about their sleep habits to find out if there is a chance they are not sleeping well. If the quiz indicates issues with rest, then you can schedule a consultation with Dr. Coerver to plan treatment!
Planning Treatment
As your children grow and their oral structures and jaw develop, this can lead to issues like misalignment and also limited breathing when they are laying down at night. For some, this can abate after a year or two as their smile continues to grow and change. Others may need treatment to guide the growth of these structures and ensure proper breathing at night. We will take detailed digital images of the smile and throat, and use these to help make a diagnosis with precision and accuracy. From there, we can use the information to design and custom-fit an orthodontic appliance that your children will wear as they sleep.
Airway Orthodontics
Airway orthodontics are appliances that are designed to help shift and change the position of the jaw and oral structures. These systems can help ensure better breathing at night, so kids can go to sleep easier and stay asleep, waking up feeling rested and refreshed. This can help improve their mood and ability to concentrate, so they can reach important educational and emotional milestones. If you have any questions about how we can help your kid with custom appliances designed to open airways and keep them free of obstruction, then contact our team today to learn more. Kids deserve a good night’s rest, and you deserve peace of mind, and we’re ready to help you!
