Laying the Foundation (Ages 2–7)
Your child’s early years are critical not just for dental health, but for how they grow, breathe, and thrive.
Between the ages of 2 and 7, facial structures are rapidly developing — and these years provide a powerful opportunity to guide growth in a way that supports healthy breathing, speech, sleep, and tooth alignment.
In our practice, we look beyond the teeth to understand how habits, muscle patterns, and oral function shape your child’s development. We offer early assessments and interventions that are gentle, child-friendly, and grounded in nature’s design.
Growing Strong. Breathing Freely. Thriving Naturally.
Whole-person dental care for your child’s most formative years.

How We Support Growth
Gentle, natural support during the most important years of growth.
1.
Myofunctional Therapy
Training Muscles to Support Breathing, Growth & Function
We use playful exercises and posture coaching to help children breathe through their noses, rest their tongues properly, and swallow correctly. Often part of tongue-tie care or preparation for growth appliances.
2.
Growth Guiding Applicances
Gentle Tools to Guide the Face and Airway as They Grow
Appliances like the ALF are designed to support natural facial development, airway expansion, and proper bite formation — often preventing or minimizing future orthodontic needs
Collaborating with You: A Team Effort
Our care plans often include referrals to trusted pediatric providers — including ENTs, SLPs, IBCLCs, or bodyworkers — to fully support your child’s growth journey.
