Child Sleep Apnea Treatment in Lee’s Summit

At the heart of our practice is a profound commitment to treating sleep-disordered breathing in children.

We prioritize early intervention, focusing on non-invasive treatments that address sleep apnea and support healthy development and well-being. Join us in our mission to secure your child’s healthier, happier future.

Frequently Asked Questions

We utilize a home sleep test designed specifically for children as young as two. This test, conducted in the comfort and familiarity of your home, is then interpreted by a physician to ensure accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment planning.

Our treatments range from non-invasive options such as oral appliance therapy, designed to open the airway during sleep, to recommendations for lifestyle changes and monitoring growth and development. Each treatment plan is tailored to the child’s specific needs, focusing on promoting healthy sleep patterns and overall well-being.

Absolutely. Our TMJ treatment plans are grounded in neuromuscular dentistry, which addresses the root cause of TMJ disorders. By realigning the jaw and correcting bite issues, we can significantly reduce or eliminate symptoms like headaches, jaw pain, and discomfort, improving your daily life.

Our orthodontic approach is airway-focused, meaning we don’t just straighten teeth but also consider the impact of orthodontic treatment on the airway and facial development. By encouraging proper jaw alignment and airway expansion, our treatments can improve breathing, enhance sleep quality, and contribute to overall health and facial aesthetics.
