What is Pediatric OSA?
Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition characterized by the blockage of a child’s airway during sleep, leading to breathing interruptions, disturbed sleep, and reduced oxygen levels. Unlike adults, children may not show signs of fatigue; rather, they often exhibit hyperactivity, concentration issues, and delayed growth. At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of New Orleans, we assess the airway and offer non-invasive treatments that promote healthy sleep and facilitate long-term growth.
When To Seek This Treatment

Weight-Related Factors
Goals Of Treatment
Restore Restful Sleep

Encourage natural nasal breathing to improve oxygen flow and reduce airway collapse at night.
Support Proper Growth
Guide jaw and airway development early to prevent long-term orthodontic or airway complications.
Boost Daytime Focus & Behavior

-
