Is Your Child Showing These Signs?
These common symptoms may indicate underlying airway or myoway functional concerns that can be addressed with proper therapy
Breathing through the mouth instead of the nose, especially during sleep or at rest
Loud snoring, restless sleep, or waking up frequently during the night
Difficulty concentrating, hyperactivity, or mood changes linked to poor sleep
A high, narrow roof of the mouth that can restrict airway development
Limited nasal breathing capacity or enlarged tonsils affecting airflow
Breathing through the mouth instead of the nose, especially during sleep or at rest
Early Intervention Makes All the Difference
Don’t wait for these concerns to become bigger problems. Schedule a consultation to learn how we can help your child breathe better and sleep soundly.

Frequently asked questions
How is MyoWay different from traditional orthodontics?
MyoWay Centers for Kids does not provide orthodontic treatments, but rather complements orthodontics with myofunctional therapy. Traditional orthodontics often focuses on straightening teeth once they have already come in crooked (the “symptom”). MyoWay focuses on the “root cause”—ensuring the jaw is wide enough and forward enough to fit all the teeth and, more importantly, to support a wide-open airway for optimal breathing.
My child is only 4 or 5—isn't it too early to start?
Actually, we see children as early as birth for screenings! The majority of facial development is happening in the first 2 years of life. Age 4-5 is the “Golden Window.” Because 60% of growth happens by age 6, so intervening now allows us to use your child’s natural growth hormones to guide the jaw. It is much easier to guide growth than it is to fix a finished structure later in life.
My child has special needs (ASD/Sensory Processing). Can they do this?
Yes! In fact, these children often benefit the most from airway therapy. Improved oxygenation and sleep quality can lead to better emotional regulation and reduced sensory meltdowns. We tailor our approach to each child’s specific sensory and behavioral needs to ensure a positive experience.
Will this replace the need for braces?
MyoWay Centers for Kids does not provide orthodontic treatments, but rather complements orthodontics with myofunctional therapy. However, in many cases, early airway and jaw intervention significantly reduces the time a child needs to spend in braces later. For some, it may eliminate the need for braces entirely by creating enough space for the teeth to erupt naturally.
Can my child do this while seeing other specialists?
Absolutely. We often work as part of a “Dream Team” alongside Pediatricians, ENTs, Orthodontists, and Speech Therapists. Proper jaw structure and tongue posture often make these other therapies more effective and help prevent “relapse” after braces are removed.
Do I pay for every individual visit, or is it a program package?
We utilize All-Inclusive Program Packages rather than a “pay-per-visit” model. We’ve found that pay-per-visit models are not only more costly over the long term, but they often lead to fragmented care and lower follow-through. Clinical success in myofunctional and airway therapy depends on consistency; by bundling the care into a single program, we ensure your child receives every necessary step for success without financial friction. This model provides transparent, affordable pricing and significantly higher success rates for our patients.
Why doesn't insurance usually cover this therapy?
Most insurance models are “reactive” rather than “preventative.” Insurance companies often want to wait until a child shows severe, late-stage symptoms—such as full Obstructive Sleep Apnea or major skeletal deformities—before they authorize coverage. Unfortunately, by the time those symptoms meet insurance criteria, the most critical windows for easy, non-invasive growth guidance have often passed. We believe in “proactive” care: treating the root cause now to avoid the invasive surgeries and chronic health issues that insurance eventually pays for later.
Can I get reimbursed if I have insurance?
Yes. While we are a direct-pay facility to ensure your child’s care is never compromised by insurance restrictions, we provide all the necessary information and itemized documentation required for you to seek direct reimbursement from your insurance provider. We aim to make this process as seamless as possible for your family.
