Summer is over and now we are getting back into the swing of things for the Fall. Sports, School, upcoming holidays etc are quickly approaching and are all on the forefront of our minds and schedules! But, don't forget about your teeth! Make sure you fit time in to schedule you or your child's orthodontic exam/consultation (ideally starting at age 7 and up) and orthodontic adjustments if you are in braces/aligners already before your schedule of Fall activities gets filled up!

Diagnosing Sleep disorders such as sleep apnea in children is a critical thing for their overall mental and physical health and well-being! Did you know that if your child has sleep apnea, it can impair their organ health long-term and has been linked to attention issues in school? If you think your child has some of the signs and symptoms of a sleep disorder, contact your pediatrician for a consult. They may refer you for a sleep study as well. If your child is diagnosed with sleep apnea, an expander is a critical orthodontic appliance used to improve their breathing ability through their nose. Don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions regarding this very importance health issue that has become more and more recognized in our population today.
