Facts About Children’s Snoring

When children snore, it isn’t always a cause for worry. Research on child snoring shows that 20 percent of healthy children snore occasionally, and 10 percent snore every night. Snoring can be caused by a variety of innocuous issues, like sleep position or a simple cold. But snoring that is severe and is accompanied by other symptoms, such as frequent morning headaches, daytime drowsiness, or waking up gasping for air, could be cause for concern, but at the very least suggests additional investigation.

How Can the Healthy Start Sleep Disorder Breathing Problem Help?

The Healthy Start Sleep Disorder Breathing System is a dental program because research shows that many times sleep disorders are a result of problems with the palate and the soft tissue in the back of your throat. If your teeth and jaw structure are out of alignment, it affects where your tongue is in your mouth. If the tongue isn’t in the right place, it changes the shape of the opening of the airway, and how much it can open.

This is what the Healthy Start sleep disorder breathing system can fix. It guides your child’s teeth to be sure they grow in the correct spaces, and ensures that the jaw is correctly aligned. This opens the oral cavity and improves the air flow. It should also stop the snoring.

How Does the Healthy Start Sleep Disorder Breathing System Work?

The Healthy Start sleep disorder breathing system uses dental appliances that are worn by your child as their teeth grow from baby teeth to permanent adult teeth. The FDA approved the Healthy Start sleep disorder breathing system appliance. It is made of natural materials and is BPA, Latex, and Silicone free.

If you start your child early, their first appliance is like a pacifier. They will get used to wearing this at night. It corrects bad habits that may lead to poor oral health. After this appliance is worn for a few months, a new Healthy Start sleep disorder breathing system appliance is fitted. This appliance is custom fitted and is designed to guide your child’s teeth into the correct places as they come in. It also expands the arches in your child’s mouth and straightens out any jaw alignment problems.

When your child has four permanent teeth, the third and last appliance is fitted. This Healthy Start sleep disorder breathing system appliance is customized to handle adult teeth. The Healthy Start appliance ensures that the adult teeth erupt into the proper positions. By the time this phase is over, you should have a child who is sleeping normally and breathing always through their nose.
