Paediatric Orofacial Medicine

Dr. Patrícia Cubells Ricart

Dr. Patrícia Cubells Ricart, specialist in Paediatric Orofacial Medicine and Airway Orthopaedics, is the coordinator of the Unitat del TROS (SDB Unit: Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing) at Paido Salut Infatil – Department of Ambulatory Paediatrics, Dexeus University Hospital in Barcelona.

A graduate in Dentistry at the University of Barcelona, she specialised in Orofacial Orthopaedics and Orthodontics in Paris.

Thanks to her professional experience for 6 years in two clinics in Lyon, she realised the important role breathing plays in the overall development of children, and the essential need to carry out early treatment in collaboration with different paediatric specialists.

For this reason, she decided to take a turn in her professional career and subspecialise in Paediatric Orofacial Medicine, focusing on Paediatric Airway and Orofacial Dysfunctions,  Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing (SDB) in children (mouth breathing, snoring, apnoea…) and their Orthopaedic treatment, expanding her training in the United States and Argentina.

Creation and coordination of the first team

Aware of the lack of multidisciplinary teams in the Paediatric Orofacial Medicine and Paediatric Airway field, she has been a pioneer in the creation and coordination of the first team with these characteristics, integrating the Cubric Orofacial Paediatric Institute into the Paido Salut Infantil team.

Currently, re-established in her hometown Barcelona, she dedicates her professional practice to helping her young patients achieve proper breathing by correcting the growth of facial bones, and thus, allowing them to develop in the best way possible.
