This powerful insight shifts how we think about pediatric dental care. Mouth breathing isn’t just a habit—it’s a health issue that can lead to long-term consequences, including:

✅ Increased risk of cavities
✅ Altered craniofacial development
✅ Poor sleep and behavior in children

✨ Addressing the root cause—airway health—can transform your approach to prevention and care. Let’s prioritize nasal breathing and unlock healthier futures for our kids.

The orofacial system isn’t isolated — it’s deeply connected to how we speak, breathe, chew, and even behave. Poor muscle strength & tone or imbalances in the tongue, lips, and cheeks can disrupt the entire system, impacting sleep, bite, airway, and beyond.

👉 Our myofunctional specialists can help uncover the root causes and design a targeted plan to restore functional balance.

Is it ADHD or poor sleep? Follow Dr. Soroush Zaghi to view a very informative short video discussing this! @ soroushzaghimd

Addressing airway issues and improving sleep can transform your child’s focus, behavior, and quality of life!

Signs like mouth breathing, crowded teeth, tongue posture issues, and worn-down teeth can all indicate airway problems that impact sleep, growth, and overall health.

By screening for these red flags, providers can help identify concerns early, refer for proper intervention, and support optimal development. Prevention starts with awareness—because healthy breathing means a healthier future.

Optimal nighttime sleep breathing means nasal breathing, silent and steady airflow, and proper tongue posture and lip seal. No snoring, no gasping—just smooth, uninterrupted breathing for deep, restful sleep.

If mouth breathing or snoring is present, it may be time to assess airway function!

Is Snoring Just Snoring? Or Something More?

Better Sleep, Better Health — for both kids and adults!
Did you know poor breathing patterns can disrupt sleep, lower energy, and even impact growth and development in children?

Myofunctional therapy (OMT) helps strengthen the muscles of the face, mouth, and airway — promoting healthier breathing, deeper sleep, and better overall health.

Whether you’re an adult struggling with snoring and fatigue, or a parent noticing restless sleep or mouth breathing in your child, d OMT can make a difference along with other treatment modalities when/if indicated!

Small changes in muscle function = BIG changes in health!

Crowded teeth in kids aren’t just a cosmetic issue—they’re often a red flag for underlying problems like underdeveloped jaws, mouth breathing, or tongue posture issues.

Early signs to watch for:
• Snoring or open-mouth sleeping
• Speech delays or grinding teeth
• Early crowding of baby teeth

What to do:
Get an airway-focused evaluation, consider myofunctional therapy, and support nasal breathing early on. Intervention as young as 3–5 years can make a huge difference!
