Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB)?
Without proper tongue placement when sleeping, the jaw drops back and takes the tongue with it leading to a constriction in the air way while sleeping. This compromises the amount of oxygen reaching the brain while sleeping, which leads to snoring, swollen tonsils or adenoids, tooth decay, bed wetting, restless sleep, delayed or arrested growth, chronic allergies, eczema, asthma, depression, headaches, and the appearance of ADD/ADHD type of behaviour. SDB is also tied by research to crooked and crowded teeth, deep bites, nighttime grinding (nocturnal bruxism), narrow palates, arrested growth and development of the jaws.

What are the Causes of SDB?
Weak tongue and oral muscles can develop due to a soft or processed diet. Poor oral habits, such as thumb-sucking, pacifier use, or tongue thrusting, can also contribute to these issues. Limited or no breastfeeding may lead to underdeveloped dental arches and jaws. Airway obstruction, which may cause snoring ranging from mild to loud, can sometimes lead to episodes where the child stops breathing and wakes up gasping for air throughout the night. Other contributing factors include enlarged adenoids or tonsils, fat deposits in the neck area of overweight children, and neuromuscular conditions like cerebral palsy, all of which can further restrict the airway.
