A new approach to pediatric dental care is gaining attention in Fort Worth, Texas, as Dr. Justin R. Warcup, DDS, introduces the BRĒTH Method™ at North Smiles Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. This method focuses on treating children’s airway issues without surgery, aiming to help children breathe better, sleep more soundly, and grow healthily.
The BRĒTH Method™ has been created as a response to growing evidence linking airway health with many childhood problems, such as sleep difficulties, attention challenges, and delays in growth. Instead of just fixing teeth or relieving single symptoms, the BRĒTH Method™ offers a complete plan that looks at the real causes of airway restrictions and poor breathing habits in young children.
Special attention is given to children between three and eight years old—the age when most facial growth takes place. The method uses a five-phase process to find issues early, restore natural muscle and airway function, and build a strong foundation for long-term health. It encourages children to use their noses for breathing, which can lead to better sleep, clearer thinking, and improved behavior.
Unlike older dental treatments that only focus on straightening teeth, the BRĒTH Method™ includes modern diagnostics and personalized plans for each child. The therapy aims to support a child’s whole growth and helps ensure the benefits last into adulthood. Dr. Warcup sees this method as a way to guide families toward proactive care for their children’s well-being from the start.
Dr. Warcup hopes that the introduction of the BRĒTH Method™ will inspire other dental offices to rethink how they treat airway problems in children. By focusing on airway health as a key part of early childhood development, North Texas Smiles encourages a shift toward new, preventive solutions that aim for lifelong wellness.
