Pediatric Sleep Disordered Breathing, Tongue Ties And Oral Myofunctional Therapy

Description

The spectrum of sleep disordered breathing consists of mouth breathing, noisy breathing and snoring. Any interruptions to the right QUALITY and QUANTITY of sleep can disturb critical processes in the brain which affects the child's growth, immunity, concentration, performance and productivity. Soft tissue dysfunction is an alteration in the muscular activity of the muscles that affects occlusion, jaw growth, swallowing, sleeping and breathing. Hence there is a need for change in the way we perceive orthodontics.
