Airway Struggles?
Is your child struggling to sleep well and always feeling tired in the morning? Your child could be facing airway issues that affect their sleep, leading to problems like ADHD, bedwetting, and snoring.
Dr. Crespo specializes in treating these nighttime breathing challenges. We’re here to help your child achieve the peaceful, restful sleep they need. Let’s work together to improve their nights and energize their days.
The Root Cause May Surprise You...
Studies show that most sleep troubles in kids are linked to how their jaws grow early on. Sometimes, if a jaw doesn't grow fully, it can cause big breathing and sleep problems that might affect their health.

A Compromised Airway Affects Your Child’s Health
When a child’s airway is obstructed, preventing the smooth flow of air and resultant oxygen to the brain, it disrupts their sleep cycle, depriving them of a restful night’s sleep. This interference with their sleep can impair proper brain function and potentially result in various medical complications.
Unfortunately, sleep-disordered breathing often goes unnoticed, misdiagnosed, and regrettably untreated. If your child experiences any of these symptoms, they might be affected by sleep-disordered breathing.
The Dental Connection
It’s important to know that many young children with Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) often have underdeveloped and narrow dental arches. For example, in a normally developing human profile, the lips and chin should be well in front of the eyes, and a strong jawline should be present. Unfortunately, this ideal growth and development doesn’t always occur naturally these days.
In our modern world, where breastfeeding is limited and soft, processed foods are common, many children don’t fully develop their mid and lower facial areas. If this condition persists during their early formative years, it can hinder the proper growth and development of your child’s airway.

Common Questions About Pediatric Airway
How do you screen patients?
As you step into the O.A.S.I.S Wellness Center, we prioritize guiding you through a comprehensive patient screening process.
This includes a thorough assessment using 3-dimensional x-rays, posture and alignment examination through medical photos, a comprehensive head and neck evaluation, and digital impressions.
Our patients are often encouraged to undergo sleep testing and we place great emphasis on analyzing these results.
Each component of your examination forms the building blocks for your personalized treatment plan and upcoming appointments.
What causes sleep apnea in children?
Common causes include enlarged tonsils and adenoids, obesity, and structural differences in the jaw or airway. Genetic factors and allergies can also play a role.
How do you treat the "root cause"?
At O.A.S.I.S Wellness Center we use advanced diagnostics and integrative treatments to help evaluate and target your child’s underlying developmental, functional and sleep related challenges.
Statistics show over 40 Million Children can be affected by Sleep Disorders and 9 out of 10 children are suffering from one or more symptoms of sleep related breathing symptoms. Don’t wait, early treatment is critical.
Can sleep apnea affect my child's growth and development?
Yes, untreated sleep apnea can interfere with growth hormones and lead to growth problems, cognitive issues, and behavior disorders.
Straighten Teeth, With No Braces?
Our customized treatment goals include guiding the teeth into alignment. When children are young, this can easily be accomplished, but young or old, our objective is to align the teeth without the use of traditional metal braces in a manner that improves function, airway, and sleep.
The Importance of Early Intervention
In cases of narrow, underdeveloped jaws and the resultant crowding of the teeth, the tongue can be pushed backward towards the throat leading to a constriction of the airway.
During childhood, a child’s body is highly adaptable, especially when it comes to their oral cavity and bone structure. Therefore, it is easy to recapture growth and guide function and development with the right treatment plan.
Is your child a candidate for our integrative solutions?
There are crucial aspects of your child’s health that often go unnoticed prior to their visit to our office. There are subtle signs and symptoms that may not be immediately associated with your child’s teeth or overall health.
By actively observing and monitoring these indicators, we can gain a comprehensive understanding of your child’s overall well-being. You can find our assessment tool HERE.
