Children: Airway Health, Facial Development, Tongue Ties and Overall Well‑Being

Why Early Care Matters


If your child has narrow jaws, crooked or crowded teeth, snores, breathes through the mouth or struggles with behavior or attention span, finding the root cause of the problem now can help prevent bigger problems later on.
Our team uses gentle diagnostic tools to assess airway size, jaw alignment and muscle function, and we collaborate with pediatric ENTs, orthodontists and myofunctional therapists to create a plan that optimizes your child’s ability to grow, develop & thrive.

Recognize the Signs

Here are a few signs that may signal an airway or craniofacial problem. If any resonate with your child, explore the linked pages for more detail and solutions:

Mouth Breathing & Snoring

If your child sleeps with an open mouth, snores or wakes frequently, learn why this matters and what to do next.

Facial Pain, Headaches or Jaw Clicking

Frequent headaches, sore jaws or grinding may signal TMJ imbalance or airway restriction.

Speech Issues or Feeding Difficulty

Trouble nursing, chewing or talking can be signs of a tethered tongue or lip.

Night Waking and Hyperactivity

Behaviour often labelled “ADD/ADHD” can stem from disrupted sleep or poor breathing.
These snapshots are not meant to alarm but to guide you to the right information quickly.

What We Offer for Kids

We design treatments to support healthy growth and breathing:
Custom devices help keep airways open and support jaw growth at night.
Specialised devices gently widen the palate to create room for proper jaw growth and support airway development.
Gentle, hands‑on therapy realigns cranial bones and tissues to promote healthy growth and relieve tension.
Gentle appliances expand and align the jaws, improving airway volume and posture.
Exercises train tongue, lips and facial muscles for proper breathing and swallowing.
Laser or scissor procedures free restricted tissues for better feeding, speech and breathing.
Each therapy integrates with our diagnostic findings and is delivered in a child‑friendly way. For more details, visit the individual pages linked above.

Our Approach

Accurate Diagnosis and Collaboration

We begin with a thorough history and child friendly exams. These include three dimensional imaging and airway screening. These tools help us pinpoint the root cause of breathing issues or facial development compromises. That way we can tailor treatment specifically for your child.

Childhood growth and development issues are complex, so we use a collaborative care approach. We partner with specialists in sleep medicine, ear nose and throat and orthodontics to ensure every aspect of your child’s health is addressed.
