Self-Assessment

Are you a candidate?

Eight short questions to help you decide whether a comprehensive airway and quality-of-life evaluation is the right next step for you or your child.

Answer each question yes or no, the way it most often presents day to day. You will see your screening result at the end. This is not a diagnosis — it is a guide. Most patients who reach our office found us through one of these questions.

01
Do you (or your child) regularly breathe through the mouth, especially at night?Open mouth at rest, snoring, audible breathing
02
Is there snoring, gasping, or restless sleep most nights?Including kicking covers, frequent waking, sleeping in unusual positions
03
Do you wake up feeling unrefreshed, with morning headaches, dry mouth, or sore throat?Or in children: hard to wake, irritable, slow to start the day
04
Are there crowded teeth, a high arched palate, or a noticeably narrow upper jaw?Often a structural sign of an underdeveloped airway
05
Do daytime symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, or trouble focusing?In children: trouble paying attention, hyperactive behavior, school challenges
06
Is there a history of frequent ear infections, sinus issues, or chronic congestion?Especially if antibiotics are needed several times a year
07
Has anyone mentioned a tongue tie, lip tie, tongue thrust, or feeding difficulty?In infants: latching issues, prolonged feeds, reflux. In adults: speech, swallow, or jaw tension
08
Do you suspect that improving sleep, breathing, or weight would meaningfully change daily life?Trust your instinct here. It's usually right.
