Struggling with a Hyperactive or ADHD Child?

Kids are not always able to communicate or even know what their experiencing isn’t normal. It is normal for them, after all.

Often times their struggles are coming out in another form and sometimes show up as hyperactivity or ADHD, but really comes down to them not sleeping well. Their body is overcompensating and doing the opposite of what we might expect, which would be being sleepy or lethargic. This can lead to them having lack of focus, having behavioral issues, and being frustrated in their daily life and in learning.

How can you tell if their ADHD symptoms are actually something else? The answer may be as close as your pediatric dentist. Those that are airway specialists, may be able to find solutions that help your child really thrive in life, and alleviate thoughts of medicating, something that only masks the symptom.

Airway orthodontics and myofunctional therapy are not widely known treatments for children that can give them a healthier start. By addressing underlying symptoms like snoring, mouth breathing, restless sleep, bedwetting, ADHD-like symptoms, hyperactivity, lack of focus, and fatigue, we treat the root cause of the problem, which is in their mouth.

Airway orthodontics opens up the child’s airways so they can have better breathing which will help with better uninterrupted, restful sleep and a happier, longer, healthier life. This can be done without costly and potentially harmful surgeries.
