Supporting Your Child’s Growth with Guided Airway Development
At Jordan J. Balvich, DMD, PC, we understand that a healthy airway is essential for your child’s overall growth, development, and quality of life. Our Guided Growth and Development program uses innovative oral appliances to promote proper jaw alignment, support airway health, and encourage healthy breathing habits.
Why Airway Health Matters
A well-developed airway plays a vital role in your child’s:
- Breathing: Proper airflow reduces the risk of mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing, such as obstructive sleep apnea.
- Sleep Quality: Healthy breathing patterns during sleep support optimal rest and cognitive development.
- Facial Growth: A balanced jaw and facial structure reduce the likelihood of misaligned teeth and other orthodontic issues.
Signs Your Child May Need Airway Support
Parents in Rensselaer, Indiana, and surrounding areas, take note of these common signs of airway or developmental concerns:
- Mouth breathing, especially during sleep
- Snoring or noisy breathing at night
- Frequent restless sleep or waking up tired
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Difficulty concentrating at school
- Narrow jaw or crowded teeth
If you notice any of these signs, early intervention can make a significant difference in your child’s health and well-being.
