Our Dental Services in Wichita, KS

Say goodbye to sleepless nights and hello to restful sleep! At Wichita Dental Co., we are proud to offer Airway Orthodontics for kids, a revolutionary treatment designed to combat pediatric sleep disordered breathing. The signs are usually hiding right in front of our eyes, and Dr. MichelleThis link leads to Dr. Michelle’s page is passionate about not only recognizing these signs early but also early intervention, aiming to expand your child’s airway and dental arch, improve their breathing during sleep, and enhance their overall well-being. Sleep disordered breathing is a serious condition where a child’s breathing is interrupted during sleep, leading to daytime fatigue or hyperactivity, tooth grinding, difficulty concentrating, and many other issues.

Sleep disordered breathing often occurs when air flow through the nose or mouth is obstructed during sleep. This obstruction is often due to poor muscle tone and relaxation. Through myofunctional therapy, we can help retain musculature to work properly through neuromuscular retraining. With a custom myofunctional therapy program, we can help restore the proper function of oral musculature, tongue, and proper breathing with this holistic and natural approach. When muscle movement is in harmony, proper jaw development is fostered, which creates plenty of space for our adult teeth. We have two trained orofacial myologists, or myofunctional therapists, in the office to make scheduling even easier for you!
