Nasal breathing during sleep is essential for supporting your child’s sleep, health, and growth. It filters and humidifies air, protects the lungs, and encourages proper jaw and facial growth. Nasal breathing also supports the alignment of teeth and helps prevent issues like sleep apnea, which can disrupt sleep and affect daily functioning. 

The Hidden Risks of Mouth Breathing

Mouth breathing during sleep can lead to a variety of health concerns, including poor sleep quality, behavioral issues, and delayed development. It’s also commonly associated with sleep apnea, a condition where the airway becomes blocked, reducing oxygen flow to the brain. 

As a result, your child may become fatigued, moody, and have difficulty concentrating throughout the day. 

Guiding Jaw Development for Better Breathing

At Sequoia Dental Office, we can address mouth breathing by guiding your child’s jaw development to naturally improve their airway function over time. 

We offer a custom appliance designed to encourage proper jaw growth, improve airway health, and promote better facial symmetry. 

By supporting healthy growth, we can help reduce the long-term risk of dental issues and ensure your child enjoys better, more restful sleep.
