Restricted upper airway during facial development is perhaps the single largest cause of dento-facial abnormalities and malocclusion. This new pamphlet explains how a chronically restricted upper airway brings about these problems.

The pamphlet can be useful in several ways. To the adult with airway related dental problems, it explains why those problems can affect dental treatment and why they should be treated first if any major dental procedure is to be undertaken. The pamphlet is an excellent aid in marketing to ENT physicians, helping you to develop good working relations with them that can produce patient referrals. The pamphlet can also provide valuable information to the parents of pre-adolescent children, alerting them to take preventive measures during the critical developmental years if their child shows signs of chronic airway restriction.
