Expert Airway Orthodontic Treatment for Residents of West Ashley, SC

Orthodontics goes beyond simply straightening teeth. One of the ways that we look after the oral health of our patients at Bocklet Orthodontics is through airway orthodontics, which focuses on how jaw development and orthodontic issues impact breathing. A narrow airway, improper tongue posture, or misaligned jaw can lead to difficulty breathing, which in turn affects sleep and daily function. By addressing these issues early, we help folks in West Ashley, South Carolina, achieve better health.

Signs You May Need Airway Treatment

If you or your child struggle with poor sleep quality, mouth breathing, or frequent snoring, an airway screening can help determine if airway treatment is needed. Some signs to look out for include:

• Frequent waking, tossing and turning, or daytime fatigue.
• Breathing through the mouth instead of the nose, which may indicate airway obstruction.
• Snoring or sleep apnea (signs that the airway is restricted during sleep).
• Behavioral issues in children, such as hyperactivity or difficulty concentrating, which may stem from a lack of quality sleep.
• Frequent allergies or congestion; chronic nasal blockage.

At Bocklet Orthodontics, we take a comprehensive approach to airway treatment. Through early intervention, expansion appliances, and referrals to specialists when needed, we help open the airway and improve breathing patterns. Treating these issues early can lead to better sleep, enhanced focus, and improved overall health.
