Why We Exist

Too many families are stuck chasing symptoms and can’t find clear answers. 

Whether its jaw pain, poor sleep, airway problems, growth and development challenges, speech delays or feeding struggles, we believe every symptom has a story. And every patient deserves a plan rooted in clarity, not guesswork.

We exist to ask the deeper questions, find the real cause, and guide healing from the inside out. 

Whether you’re a parent worried about your child’s growth or an adult tired of feeling dismissed, this is a place where you’ll be heard and helped.

How We Work

We bring together airway dentists, myofunctional therapists, orthodontists, TMJ experts, lactation consultants, and sleep doctors under one roof.

Our approach is collaborative, whole-body, and built around the outcomes that matter most to you.

We start with diagnostics, not assumptions. We tailor every plan. And we walk with you from first visit to final result because that’s what real care looks like.

What We Stand For

Through the Craniofacial Sleep Study Club, Dr. Sabet trains the very providers who refer to her. We share real cases, research, and practical protocols that help pediatricians, ENTs, lactation consultants, dentists, chiropractors, and other professionals detect airway issues earlier and partner more effectively.

Let’s Start with a Conversation

You don’t need a diagnosis to begin, just curiosity, concern, or a sense that something’s not quite right. We’re here to listen, to guide, and to help you or your child move forward with clarity and confidence.

Because at Developmental Dentistry, better outcomes don’t start with treatment. They start with understanding.
