What is Airway Therapy?
Airway Therapy focuses on developing the mouth’s structure to improve airway function. This therapy is particularly beneficial for children, as early intervention can significantly impact their facial development and overall health. Our treatments are aimed at addressing conditions that may restrict air passage, including misaligned teeth and jaws, and underdeveloped oral tissues.

The Importance of Early Intervention
Facial development is rapid in the early years of life, with 60% completed by age 6 and 90% by age 12. Addressing airway issues during this critical period is essential for ensuring that children develop proper oral and facial structures, which are vital for optimal health and breathing. Early screening for lip and tongue ties, as well as intervention for other developmental issues, can prevent long-term health problems associated with poor airway function.
