Flourish Airway Collective
Promoting healthy oral motor function and tongue posture early in life to support children’s feeding, breathing, sleeping, and speaking as they grow
Flourish Airway Collective is our specialized center dedicated to helping children breathe, sleep, grow, and thrive.
Led by Dr. Ozzie Oromchian, Flourish takes a whole-child approach to understanding how breathing patterns, oral function, airway anatomy, and the growth of the jaws and face may influence a child’s sleep, behavior, development, and overall well-being.
Through comprehensive airway and oral-function evaluations, we look beyond the teeth to assess concerns such as mouth breathing, restricted tongue mobility, narrow dental arches, crowded teeth, low tongue posture, enlarged tonsils or adenoids, and other signs of sleep-disordered breathing. When appropriate, care may include myofunctional therapy, early expansion and growth guidance, support for tethered oral tissues, nasal-health recommendations, advanced low-dose 3D imaging, and collaboration with ENTs, sleep physicians, speech and feeding specialists, and other trusted providers.
Our goal is not simply to treat symptoms, but to understand what may be contributing to them and give families a thoughtful, personalized path forward—at the age when healthy growth and development can be influenced most.
Dr. Ozzie Jafarnia
Pediatric Dentist, Owner
As the visionary behind Danville Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, Dr. Ozzie has dedicated nearly two decades to supporting the health and development of children across the East Bay. Over the years, she began noticing recurring patterns in her young patients, particularly challenges with sleep, feeding, and overall wellness that extended beyond traditional dental care.
This sparked a deep passion for functional pediatric dentistry and the critical role oral structures play in a child’s ability to breathe, sleep, and thrive. Her commitment to addressing these root causes and the need for early intervention led to the creation of Flourish Airway Collective—a dedicated space focused on comprehensive, airway-centered care for infants, toddlers, and children.
At Flourish, Dr. Ozzie brings a calm, compassionate presence and a collaborative approach. She specializes in treating oral restrictions and guides families with the knowledge, resources, and referrals needed to support optimal oral motor function, feeding, and growth. Through Flourish, she is proud to offer care that empowers families and helps children achieve healthy, functional outcomes from the very beginning.
