What is Pediatric OSA?
Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition where a child’s airway becomes blocked during sleep, causing pauses in breathing, restless nights, and lowered oxygen levels. Unlike adults, children often don’t appear tired — instead, they may struggle with hyperactivity, poor focus, and growth delays. At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Kansas City, we evaluate the airway and provide non-surgical therapies that restore healthy sleep and support long-term development.
