What Is Airway Orthodontics?
Airway orthodontics is a specialized field that focuses on how jaw development and facial structure impact the airway. Rather than simply straightening teeth, this approach addresses the root causes of breathing issues—things like narrow dental arches, tongue posture problems, or an underdeveloped jaw. Left untreated, these issues can lead to sleep-disordered breathing and health complications.
Get Started With an Airway Screening
An airway screening is a non-invasive evaluation that will help us identify structural factors contributing to poor airflow, uncovering common signs like:
- Poor sleep quality – frequent waking, restlessness, or daytime fatigue
- Snoring or sleep apnea – especially in children or teens
- Mouth breathing – often linked to narrow airways and underdeveloped facial structures
- Behavioral issues in children – linked to lack of quality sleep
By identifying these problems early, we can implement treatment to guide facial development, support nasal breathing, and reduce the risk of future complications. Our airway orthodontic treatment includes appliances and other orthodontic techniques promoting proper growth and function. For more complex cases, we collaborate with trusted specialists to provide comprehensive care.
