"I'm so thankful I found Juniper Dental for my five-year-old son. After months of searching for the cause of his constant ear infections, frequent illnesses, mouth breathing, and snoring, I discovered that what he really needed was a maxillary expander to open his airways.
Juniper Dental is one of the very few clinics in Calgary that specializes in airway obstructions, and when I first found out about them, I didn't think twice about driving across the city to see them. It was the best decision I could have made for my child's health.
Before finding Dr. C, I had taken my son to several different dental offices for regular checkups and cleanings. Even though I brought up my concerns about his mouth breathing and snoring, none of those dentists had the knowledge, education, or awareness to recognize the real underlying problem-let alone address it. Dr. C and his amazing team not only identified the issue right away, but also guided us through the process with kindness, expertise, and genuine care.
Since getting the expander, all of my son's health issues have disappeared. The positive impact on his breathing, sleep, and overall well-being is truly priceless, and it's prevented us from having to go through the ENT-recommended surgeries. My son actually loves coming to see them-he always leaves with a smile! We are so grateful and excited to make Juniper Dental our family's go-to clinic for checkups and cleanings"
Invisalign First for Children
Invisalign First is an early intervention treatment for spacing and overcrowding issues of the baby teeth. It helps with arch development, correction of protruding teeth, and cultivating the overall appearance of a child's smile.
Phase One Expansion
The goal of Phase One treatment is to help the jaw develop in a way that accommodates permanent teeth and improves the way the upper and lower jaws fit together.
HealthyStart®
If your child is experiencing sleep and focus issues, we have a solution. The HealthyStart® System helps your child experience deeper sleep, increase focus, improve behavior, straighten teeth, and create proper jaw alignment.
Myofunctional Therapy
Facial and oral muscle disorders can cause children to experience issues with chewing, swallowing, speech, sleep, breathing, breastfeeding, teeth alignment, facial development, and more. We use Myofunctional Therapy to effectively retrain a child’s orofacial muscles to correct and relieve functional issues while also enhancing their facial appearance.
Myo Munchee
Myo Munchee is a small chewing device for children that helps improve the tone and function of muscles of their lips, face, and jaws. Like a mouthguard, this soft, medical grade silicone also promotes nasal breathing, encourages lip closure, correct resting tongue placement, and proper swallow patterns.
