Ryan P. Robinson, DDS

Chief Clinical Director

After years of successfully treating patients at The Pain and Sleep Therapy Center, Dr. Robinson decided to create and build The Center for Airway and Facial Development, which is focused entirely on treating children and helping them while they are still growing and developing.  According to Dr. Robinson, “Many of our adult patients that need to be treated for TMJ and Sleep issues always ask what they can do to prevent their children from inheriting similar problems.  

Unfortunately, these parents are a product of the lack of research and progressive healthcare that we now are able to take advantage of and provide children and adolescents. If they had grown up in the present day, their years of suffering and chronic health issues could have been prevented.” With that being said, we recognized a massive void within our community when it comes to the early intervention solutions to help future generations live healthier lives. And so, The Center for Airway and Facial Development was born. As Dr. Robinson always says, “We are responsible for helping our patients live healthy and happy lives, from the womb to the tomb!”
