How Pediatric Airway Expansion Devices Work:
For our infant friends, these devices are all about strengthening the muscles through chewing and sensory stimulation, they also act as a stepping stone for the next stage of airway expansion. We work on habit correction (like thumb sucking or pacifier use) by providing a healthy alternative that promotes airway health.
The next devices work in three stages: habit correction, expansion, and retention. By wearing the airway expansion device 1–2 hours a day and every night, you can correct bad habits (like thumb sucking), promote nasal breathing, and encourage the proper oral resting position. All of these factors help with issues like chronic allergies or ear infections, improve sleep and behavior, and ensure proper jaw growth and development. Our goal is to expand the upper jaw (which is the floor of the nose) to open up the airway. This also allows room for the teeth to come in properly with correct spacing. Early intervention is key with pediatric airway.
