Airway-Focused Dentistry for Adults
At our office, we believe that how you breathe affects every aspect of your health. Our airway-focused approach identifies and treats the oral factors that impact sleep, oxygen flow, and energy — helping patients experience deeper rest, greater focus, and improved overall wellness.
Our approach to airway is collaborative and integrative. We work hand-in-hand with medical and wellness providers. It's a whole-health approach to dentistry that goes beyond aesthetics.
Airway-focused treatment can lead to
deeper sleep, greater energy, and long-term relief from jaw tension, fatigue, and breathing issues.
What we evaluate as part of our initial airway exam:
Sleep study results
Bite
Neck alignment
Ability to nasal breathe
Signs of sleep disordered breathing
Signs of allergies
Oral restrictions (i.e. tongue tie)
TMJ health
Adult Treatment Options
-
Oral Appliance Therapy
Custom oral appliances gently position the lower jaw forward to improve airflow, reduce snoring and sleep interruptions at night.
-
Candid Clear Aligners
Functional orthodontics can support airway health in adults by aligning the teeth and jaws in a way that improves tongue position, facial balance, breathing and long-term stability.
