AIRWAY, SLEEP & CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT
Breathing, sleep, and development are connected. Your child’s developing jaws and palate are part of that picture. At Graff Orthodontics, an early evaluation can help you understand their bite and jaw growth, discuss breathing or sleep concerns, and identify whether orthodontic care or further medical evaluation may be appropriate.
Children need quality sleep to support learning, emotional well-being, physical growth, and normal immune function. When breathing repeatedly interrupts sleep, the effects may show up during the day. Recognizing concerns early creates an opportunity to investigate the cause and find appropriate care.
Consistent, good-quality sleep helps children rest and function during the day.
Sleep supports memory, learning, and the ability to pay attention.
Healthy sleep is an important part of normal childhood growth and development.
Sleep supports normal immune function and the body’s response to infection.
