Opening Airways. Changing Lives 

Information for Pediatricians

Poor sleep and the consequent inadequate levels of oxygenation can result in a multitude of health issues for children, including:
  • Night terrors
  • Bedwetting
  • Sleepwalking
  • Retarded growth
  • Hormonal or metabolic changes
  • Poor school performance
  • Poor completion of tasks
  • Aggression 
  • ADD / ADHD
  • Poor weight gain / obesity
  • Crowding of teeth
  • Malocclusion
  • Frequent allergies
  • Asthma 
A common cause of inadequate rest is obstructive sleep apnea. The child’s airway narrows during sleep resulting in impeded breathing. The brain then sends a signal to waken the child multiple times through the night so he or she can resume normal breathing. The result is constantly interrupted sleep and unhealthy low levels of oxygenation. 

Breath of Life Dental offers pediatric specialists an effective, permanent solution by expanding the upper and lower arches, as necessary, to provide a healthy and functioning airway. With the Vivos appliance, your patients will enjoy all the physical and emotional health benefits of sound, restful sleep. We treat patients as young as two years of age.
