It’s not just about straight teeth — it’s about healthy breathing, restful sleep, and thriving development.
What Is Airway Orthodontics?
Airway orthodontics focuses on how your child breathes, not just how their smile looks.
If your child snores, struggles to sleep, or breathes through their mouth, their airway may be restricted.
This isn’t just a minor concern — it can impact facial growth, behavior, attention, and long-term health.
At Kendrick Orthodontics in Kissimmee, we specialize in early diagnosis and treatment to help your child breathe and sleep better.
Signs Your Child May Have Airway Issues
- Chronic mouth breathing
- Snoring or poor sleep
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Crowded baby teeth
- Fatigue during the day
- Bedwetting after age 5
- ADHD-like symptoms
These are more than quirks — they’re early warning signs.
What Happens If It’s Not Treated?
When airway issues are left untreated during childhood, they can lead to:
- Improper jaw development
- Behavioral and focus problems
- Long-term issues like sleep apnea
- Lower quality of life
Early orthodontic evaluation in Central Florida can prevent years of difficulty.
