This epidemic may seem invisible.
But we see it clearly and so can you. 

For Parents

While there is strong evidence to support that modern civilization has actually caused the silent evolutionary pandemic affecting hundreds of millions of children globally, there is also hope that we can change our current challenges. Unwittingly, our standard practices — what we eat, how we eat, how we breathe, and well-intentioned treatments such as extracting teeth and giving children retractive braces — play a part in creating childhood airway disorders. Symptoms like sleep issues, an inability to focus or concentrate, lack of energy, and even anxiety and depression can often be traced back to childhood airway disorders. 

The resources provided on this site will help you identify the signs and symptoms of airway disorders, understand your potential treatment options, and learn about the latest research. You will also find information on providers in your region. 

There is hope. Treatment works. Please spread the word.

AIRWAY DISORDERS

Is your child a mouth breather? Does your child have sleep issues or are they a chronic snorer?

These are just two of the signs of sleep disorders in children. Education is the first step towards taking control of your child's long-term health.
