Persistent mouth breathing in children could be a sign of obstructed airways, often linked with snoring, sleep apnea, jaw malformation, poor bite, sleep deprivation, ADHD, and degenerative inflammatory diseases. This condition is often not recognized, and it can result in various health and behavioral issues. Researchers suggest that sleep deprivation can mimic ADHD symptoms. Airway-focused dentists and specialists are taking a new approach to treatment, aiming to address the root cause of the issue. The treatment involves expanding the upper and lower arches, allowing teeth to align naturally and improving breathing. This intervention not only aligns teeth but also restores proper facial development and overall health. It is recommended to address airway issues early in childhood for optimal results.
