Sleep Disordered Breathing in children has been recognised as causing widespread health, developmental and behavioral problems.
Additionally, as well as being detrimental to the development of the face, jaws and teeth, if left untreated, paediatric SDB can lead to significant and serious health problems causing poor quality of life later in adulthood. Rather than allow airway dysfunction to persist into adulthood, the myOSA for Juniors™ (ages 2-6) and the myOSA for Kids™ (ages 6-12) corrects SDB by addressing the upper airway compromise and neuromuscular dysfunction, which causes it. These appliances incorporate design features that posture the lower jaw slightly forward, correct tongue position and open the bite, which opens the airway and regulates breathing.
