Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire
Validated questionnaire for determining sleep-related breathing disorders, snoring, and behavior in childrne. The change in score on the PSQ will be assessed. It is scored from 0-1 with higher scores indicating increased symptoms of sleep disturbance and sleep-disordered breathing. Each question is tallied and an average of all answers (from 3 different subsections) gives the final score.
An initial evaluation before treatment and upon completion of the study (an average of 1 year)
Sleep Study
A home sleep study before and after treatment to assess any changes in sleep disturbance.
An initial evaluation before treatment and upon completion of the study (an average of 1 year)
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Sleep Related Breathing Disordered Questionnaire (SRBD)
An initial evaluation before treatment and upon completion of the study (an average of 1 year)
Airway Volume
An initial evaluation before treatment and upon completion of the study (an average of 1 year)

Intervention Arm will use Vivos Grow/Vivos Way Device
EXPERIMENTALThis intervention will compare measurements prior to treatment with measurements post-treatment.
Interventions
Children already using the device will be monitored to determined whether it improves symptoms of SDB
