Airway Focused Orthodontics
Pediatric Airway Focused Orthodontics
TMJ & Sleep Therapy in Kingsville offers airway-focused orthodontics. We take the time to understand the symptoms that your child is showing and will treat them holistically. An analysis of your child’s anatomy, breathing, physiology, and neurology will help plan the treatment that is best suited for him or her. Airway Orthodontics not only focuses on the mouth and straightening teeth but on the overall health and development of your child.
Why Opt for Airway Orthodontics
The main principle behind integrative treatment is to detect the underlying causes of sleep apnea and correct them. Here’s how this approach will benefit your child:
- It restores airways and helps prevent deficient facial growth
- It encourages breathing through the nose
- It corrects tongue and body posture
- It helps your child sleep better
- It aligns your child’s spine
