Description: Don't miss this one!!! This episode has substantial health implications. Dr. Ben Miraglia from ToothPillow joins us as we dive into the critical connections between jaw development, breathing, and sleep in children. Discover why crowded teeth and bad bites are symptoms of a larger issue, how early diet impacts jaw growth, and the profound effects of mouth breathing on sleep and overall health. Dr. Miraglia explains how improper jaw development leads to obstructive sleep apnea, poor breathing habits, and a host of downstream health issues. Learn why early intervention with techniques like myofunctional therapy and nasal hygiene is crucial for preventing these problems. Understand the behavioral and cognitive implications of mouth breathing, including decreased attention, memory issues, and lower IQ in children. Explore the wide-reaching health consequences, from bedwetting and digestive issues to cardiovascular problems and chronic sleep disruption. Dr. Miraglia introduces ToothPillow, an innovative guidance appliance designed to promote proper jaw growth and improve breathing in children, potentially available through remote tele-dentistry.
