Pediatric Airway
Breathe, Sleep, Grow, Develop & Thrive
Specialized Care for Children's Breathing Challenges, from Diagnosis to Lasting Treatment
At Freedom Dental Health System, we prioritize early detection and intervention for pediatric airway issues to ensure healthy development. Our pediatric airway services focus on identifying breathing problems such as obstructive sleep apnea that may affect a child’s sleep, behavior, and growth. By addressing these concerns early, we help set children on a path toward optimal health and well-being.
In addition to airway treatments, we offer early intervention orthodontics to correct developing misalignments in young children. This proactive approach allows us to guide jaw and dental development, reducing the need for more invasive treatments later in life. Our compassionate, child-friendly environment ensures that both children and parents feel confident in their care.
Our Services Include:
Orthodontics, Growth & Development
Many significant growth and developmental milestones occur during our first 18 months of life. In fact, 60% of a child’s facial development is completed by age 6, and 90% by age 12. Several aspects contribute to facial growth and development, ranging from genetics and muscle function to breathing, sleep and nutrition. Some of the most common facial development abnormalities seen in children are caused by a compromised airway or the inability to breathe properly through the nose.
Tongue & Lip Ties
What is a Tongue Tie? If we assess your child and determine that orthodontic expansion is required as part of our treatment protocol, there are several paths we can take to get to our desired goal. However, all treatment plans include structural and functional components which help support sustainable, positive outcomes.
Myofunctional Therapy & Buteyko Breathing
Myofunctional therapy is founded on a simple yet powerful premise: Breathing, swallowing and oral hygiene tend to improve when tongue posture is corrected, facial muscles are strengthened and poor oral habits are eliminated. Similar to physical therapy, it’s an exercise-based treatment protocol designed to improve the function of the muscles housed in the face, mouth and jaws – including the tongue. The goal of myofunctional therapy is to help patients achieve improved overall health, well-being, and oral function.
