At Lifeworks Dental, our dentists utilize a series of uniquely designed oral appliances that children can wear for just a few hours each day and during the night while they sleep. These appliances promote nasal breathing and discourage mouth breathing as their teeth and jaws develop. The end result of this treatment is a healthy, happy child with a beautiful smile and an airway that is wide and open for a lifetime of healthy breathing.
Benefits of Naturally Straightening Teeth
The most important feature of our treatments is that they can help develop and widen a child’s airway. This allows many children the opportunity to get the oxygen and deep sleep their growing bodies require. Children who suffer from a disorder called sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) can greatly benefit from these treatments. SDB can lead to a variety of health issues, including poor sleep quality, behavioral problems, and developmental issues.
Our Natural Teeth Straightening Approach
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, our dentists will evaluate your child’s teeth and jaw development. We will discuss your child’s breathing habits and any symptoms they may be experiencing related to SDB.
- Custom Appliance Fitting: If our dentists determine that your child can benefit from our natural teeth straightening approach, we will create custom oral appliances tailored to their specific needs. These appliances are designed to be comfortable and effective, promoting proper jaw development and nasal breathing.
- Wearing the Appliances: Your child will wear the appliances for a few hours each day and during the night while they sleep. Consistent use is essential to achieving the desired results.
- Regular Check-Ups: Periodic check-ups will be scheduled to monitor your child’s progress and make any necessary adjustments to the appliances. These visits ensure that your child’s treatment is progressing as planned.
