Pediatric Sleep Apnea Relief Through Oral Devices
As the sole Nevada and across the country licensed provider of Prosomnus individually fitted oral appliance therapy at Snoring and Sleep Solutions, particularly pediatric obstructive sleep apnea requires careful treatment.
Although CPAP may promote some growth development in patients, natural mandibular repositioning holds exciting potential for young airway safety without masks interceding in normal development and schedules.
Apnea affects all ages, disrupting deep, restorative sleep patterns. Physiological immaturity weighs risks further because narrower passageways obstruct more readily in smaller busters and faces.
Unresolved, pediatric obstructive sleep apnea relates to issues including poor concentration, behavior, and delayed growth, which affect school and home life.
Fortunately, milder cases can often have lasting resolution by gradually, closely monitored dental repositioning. Unlike highly aggressive advancement associated with appliances treating adult apnea, our board-certified system instead uses the most minute jaw adjustments that respect sensitive oral structures that are still maturing.
Custom-fitted, polymer mouthpieces gently enlarge pediatric airways just enough for smooth, uninterrupted breathing throughout slumber.
Digital scans take an image of each patient’s unique anatomy; handcrafted perfect, contoured night guards firmly support natural growth patterns.
Regular follow-ups can safely extend treatment for an average of 12-18 months through repeated observations of slow improvements that align the bite for permanent patency without any risk of recurrence.
Compliance is easier than CPAP masks many kids do not like due to the appealing night guard style. And mild, brief adjustments optimize comfort continually.
Most importantly, we care about the well-being and growth of every child and their own special needs.
Let’s talk about screening your little one for being ill-slept to have therapies that restore health naturally by peaceful, revitalizing rest. It is there for the growth of his potential, optimized by the right care suited to changing bodies.
