BREATHE BETTER. LIVE BETTER.
Airway-Focused Orthodontics.
We look beyond the teeth to the nose, throat, and body to help restore your health and function.
Symptoms of Airway Problems.
Airway problems can contribute to many seemingly unrelated health issues in both children and adults.
People of all ages can exhibit symptoms of airway problems. Here are a few to watch for:
- Dark circles under the eyes ("panda" eyes)
- Mouth breathing
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Sleep apnea
- Grinding
- Excessive teeth wear
- Thumbsucking
If you or your child are experiencing any of these symptoms, our airway-focused orthodontists may help. We invite you to contact us to learn more or book an assessment with our orthodontic specialists.
More than just fixing teeth.
Traditionally, dentistry has focused strictly on dental health—the care and repair of teeth. But at Vivid Orthodontics, we take a wider view.
With the rapid growth in Dental Sleep Medicine, maintaining the physiological function of the airway has become a high priority for our team. Our airway-focused approach allows us to effectively treat patients with issues that might otherwise be missed or only temporarily relieved.
This shift enables us to look beyond the teeth to the nose, throat, face, neck, and tongue muscles. By restoring these connections, we do not just align your smile; we help restore your overall health.
What Are the Features of Airway-Focused Orthodontics?
It is about more than just straight teeth. We treat the structure behind the smile to support a lifetime of better breathing and deeper sleep.
Proactive Prevention
Taking preventive measures and treating airway issues early is key to staying ahead of larger health problems.
Effective Breathing
By focusing on airway passages during orthodontic treatment, we help promote effective, nasal breathing day and night.
Reducing Risk
Proper airway alignment can significantly help reduce the risk of developing Obstructive Sleep Apnea later in life.
