New Early Orthodontics Helping Kids to Live a Healthy Life A silent crisis among children today is having a devastating effect on their physical health and social well-being. An estimated 80 percent of children have a condition causing at least one of the following symptoms: ADD/ADHD, difficulty in school, restless sleep, delayed or stunted growth, decreased IQ, crowded/crooked teeth, nightmares/ night terrors, aggressive behavior, chronic allergies, swollen adenoids or tonsils, and dark circles under eyes. These conditions have a common thread: chronic reduction of oxygen being delivered to the brain. Undiagnosed & untreated, these children face a life of health problems. We have a proven solution. Airway orthodontics is a revolutionary approach to orthodontic treatment that focuses on correcting not only the alignment of teeth but also the underlying airway issues. It recognizes the crucial role of proper breathing in overall health and wellbeing, particularly in children.

Most children show signs of incorrect dental and facial development at an early age. Two of these children have a mouth-breathing habit and two have an incorrect swallow pattern. They are great candidates for NEO’s New Early Orthodontics program.

An integrative approach Traditional orthodontics has primarily focused on aligning teeth for aesthetic purposes, often overlooking the underlying causes of malocclusion. Airway orthodontics takes a holistic approach by considering the relationship between dental and facial structures, jaw development, and overall health.

Symptoms of airway issues Airway issues can manifest in various ways, and it’s important for parents to recognize the signs and symptoms. Some common indicators of airway problems in children include: Snoring—Persistent snoring, especially accompanied by pauses in breathing, can be a sign of obstructed airflow during sleep. Mouth breathing—Children who consistently breathe through their mouths rather than their noses may have difficulty with nasal congestion or airway obstruction. Daytime fatigue—Chronic tiredness, difficulty concentrating, and poor academic performance may result from disrupted sleep due to airway issues. Sleep disturbances—Restless sleep, frequent waking, night sweats, or bedwetting can be linked to sleep-disordered breathing. ADHD-like symptoms—Airway problems may mimic attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, including impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity. Facial abnormalities—Underdeveloped jaws, recessed chins, open bites, or crowded teeth can be indicative of airway issues.

Key components Diagnosis and screening: Dentists and orthodontists trained in airway orthodontics carefully evaluate a child’s dental and medical history, conduct comprehensive examinations, and may utilize advanced diagnostic tools like cephalometric X-rays or 3D imaging to assess airway patency and function. Early intervention: Early detection and intervention are crucial in airway orthodontics. Identifying and treating airway issues in childhood can help guide jaw growth, promote proper breathing, and potentially prevent more severe problems later in life. Non-invasive treatments: Airway orthodontics emphasizes non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical approaches whenever possible. Orthodontic appliances, such as expanders or myofunctional devices, are used to guide jaw growth, widen the dental arches, and improve nasal breathing. Life-changing benefits Airway orthodontics has the potential to transform lives by addressing the underlying causes of airway issues.
