More and more research is pointing out that the lack of air or oxygen is a cause for ADHD. We see a drastic improvement in child behavior, development, growth, attention ability and scholastic achievements once they are properly treated for an obstructive airway; in other words once they can breathe better and get enough air.

How can a Dentist do this?

Well most of these children have crowded teeth which is sign of underdeveloped arch. A number of them breathe through their mouths, snore and grind their teeth while asleep.

Resolving the crowding of teeth by expanding the jawbone, so the teeth will have room to be alined properly. This will create more space for their tongue and airway. Which gives much needed oxygen for the body and brain so children can function at their optimum.

If you have ortho coverage, this procedure can be billed to your dental insurance.
