Children and Treatment with Expansive Orthodontics
Dentist Covington
Dr. Allison Melancon is now working with children who struggle to breathe when they sleep by using a system of expansive orthodontic appliances and therapies. These treatments may help the upper and lower jaws to develop and reshape the oral cavity fully. As these areas develop more fully, the child’s airway may widen and expand, allowing the child to breathe better, and some of these symptoms may disappear. When children can breathe properly, they can begin to grow, learn, and blossom into their full potential.
If you have a child that suffers from the following conditions or symptoms, airway issues may be partly to blame:
- Bedwetting
- ADD/ADHD
- Chronic allergies
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Snoring
- Irritability
- Chronic ear infections
- Swollen adenoids and tonsils
- Daytime drowsiness
- Nightmares/night Terrors
- Aggressive behaviors
- Frequent headaches
- Delayed growth and development
- Crowded and crooked teeth
Treatment of your child’s airway issues may greatly reduce many of the above symptoms that your child is experiencing.
If you think that you or your child may be struggling due to airway issues, please contact our office to schedule a consultation today. Dr. Melancon has the education and experience to successfully treat airway disorders using expansive orthodontic appliances.
