Understanding Sleep Disordered Breathing

Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) includes a range of conditions that disrupt normal airflow during sleep. These disruptions can cause reduced oxygen levels, restlessness, and symptoms that extend into daily life.

  • Interrupts normal breathing during sleep
  • Affects both children and adults
  • Can result in poor sleep quality and daytime fatigue
  • May be linked to behavioral or developmental concerns in children
  • Often goes unrecognized without proper evaluation

The Two Primary Types of Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA):

  • Caused by a physical blockage of the airway
  • Often related to underdeveloped jaw or tongue position
  • Treated effectively by the Vivos system

Central Sleep Apnea:

  • Caused by a lack of signals from the brain to breathe
  • Less common
  • Requires a different form of treatment

Signs of Sleep Apnea in Children

Children often show different symptoms of sleep apnea than adults. Rather than grogginess, they may exhibit behavioral or learning challenges.

  • Snoring or noisy breathing
  • Frequent mouth breathing
  • Restless sleep or frequent waking
  • Bedwetting
  • Difficulty focusing or hyperactivity
  • Mood swings or irritability

Many children with airway issues are misdiagnosed with ADHD or other disorders. Addressing airway development can lead to better outcomes at home and school.

How Sleep Apnea Affects Children’s Health

Sleep apnea can impact a child’s ability to grow, concentrate, and thrive. Lack of quality sleep may lead to both short- and long-term challenges.

  • Tiredness during the day
  • Trouble focusing in school
  • Emotional ups and downs
  • Slower growth and development
  • Poor memory or irritability

A properly functioning airway is essential to health and learning. The Vivos system is designed to support your child’s development in a safe, lasting way.

Risk Factors That May Contribute to Sleep Apnea in Children

Several conditions can increase the risk of airway issues in children. Early detection can make treatment more effective.

  • Small or narrow jaws
  • Tongue-tie or lip-tie
  • Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
  • Mouth breathing habits
  • Genetics or family history of sleep issues

Our team can assess these factors during your child’s consultation and recommend next steps for care.

Medical Concerns Linked to Untreated Sleep Apnea

Leaving sleep apnea untreated can result in serious health consequences for both children and adults.

  • Ongoing fatigue and poor sleep
  • High blood pressure
  • Low oxygen levels at night
  • Heart-related conditions
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Increased risk of mood disorders
