Pediatric Airway-Focused Care
Healthy breathing and restful sleep are essential to every child’s growth, learning, and overall well-being. At our office, we take a proactive approach to identifying airway and sleep-related concerns early. Through careful screening and evaluation, we look for signs of airway dysfunction such as mouth breathing, restless sleep, snoring, bedwetting, or challenges with focus and behavior.
Please fill out the following forms for treatment of airway care for your child.
Dr. Kelsey is a verified provider through both Airway Health Solutions and ASAP Pathways, two leading organizations in pediatric airway education and care. She works collaboratively with other like-minded healthcare professionals to develop personalized treatment plans when intervention is indicated. This team-based approach ensures each child receives the most comprehensive and effective care possible.
Treatment Options
If treatment is indicated, many solutions can be provided right here in our office. Depending on your child’s needs, care may include one or more of the following options:
- Habit Correction Appliances – Designed to promote proper oral rest posture by encouraging nasal breathing, correct tongue position, and balanced facial growth. These appliances gently guide the developing jaws and airway toward healthy function.
- Fixed or Removable Expanders – Used to widen the dental arches in children and adults, improving both airway space and dental alignment.
- Clear Aligner Therapy – A discreet and comfortable option that promotes expansion and alignment while enhancing facial balance and esthetics. Aligner therapy can contribute to a healthier airway by creating more room for the tongue and improving jaw position.
We encourage parents to complete our Pediatric Airway Screening Questionnaire to help us better understand your child’s sleep and breathing patterns. Early recognition and teamwork can make a lasting difference in your child’s health and development. For additional information visit:
