Children

Caught early, so much is reversible

Children are more sensitive to breathing issues — it's during these years that a significant portion of their development takes place. The upside: many of these changes are completely reversible.

What to Watch For

Signs that breathing is affecting your child

Crooked Teeth

Over 80% of children need orthodontic treatment due to underdeveloped jaws — partly from processed foods that reduce natural chewing. Watch for limited spacing between baby teeth, crowding, buck teeth, forward head posture, dark circles under the eyes and chapped lips from mouth breathing.

Asthma & Allergies

Nasal breathing — the preferred method of breathing — warms, filters and humidifies the air, reducing irritants. Mouth breathing increases the size of the adenoids and tonsils, making the problem worse.

Poor Growth

75% of natural Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is released during the rest-and-repair portion of deep sleep. When sleep is disrupted, normal growth can be held back.

ADD / ADHD

Medical research shows that children with ADD/ADHD and children with sleep-disordered breathing can exhibit identical symptoms — including behavioral and learning difficulties.

Bed Wetting

When oxygen drops during sleep disruptions, the body can trigger a fight-or-flight response that diverts oxygen away from the urinary system.

Mouth Breathing

Improper tongue posture creates muscular imbalance in the mouth, which can lead to deformation of the jaws and crooked teeth.
