Get to the Root of Sleep and Airway Issues
Many people attribute issues like snoring and sleep apnea to sleeping habits.
While your daily routines and lifestyle can impact your sleep, these issues are often caused by your airways.
A narrow or obstructed airway can make it hard to breathe when lying down, resulting in restless nights.
Treatments To Expand Your Airway
Traditional treatment for sleep apnea and other airway issues focuses on managing symptoms without getting to the root of the problem.
We take a different approach at Modern Sleep Airway & Orthodontics.
As a leading provider of airway orthodontics, we use treatments that expand and improve your airway’s functionality, addressing sleep apnea and breathing issues head-on.
This advanced expertise—rarely found at regular dental offices—can help you achieve long-term results that improve your sleep and overall health.
How Do Your Airways Impact Your Sleep?
When your airway is too narrow, obstructed, or even underdeveloped, it can cause interrupted breathing, which leads to poor sleep, chronic fatigue, and long-term health issues.
Adults with airway issues may experience loud snoring, chronic exhaustion, frequent headaches, dry mouth upon waking, and difficulty staying asleep.
However, this issue doesn’t just impact adults—kids can suffer from airway problems too.
This manifests in bedwetting, ADHD-like symptoms, snoring, mouth breathing, nightmares, and difficulty concentrating in school.
Treatments To Expand Your Airway
While these issues might seem small, they can create much more serious problems over time.
Poor sleep can cause daytime tiredness, irritability, trouble focusing, and decreased productivity in the short term.
You may feel like you’re constantly running on empty and struggling to get through the day despite spending all night in bed.
Untreated airway issues can increase the risk of health problems in the long term, such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, metabolic disorders like diabetes, cognitive decline, and increased risk of stroke.
Chronic oxygen deprivation during sleep can also impact mood, memory, and overall quality of life.
For these reasons, it’s important to address the root cause of the issue as early as possible—which can be done through airway orthodontics.
What is Airway Orthodontics?
Unlike traditional orthodontics, which focuses on straightening teeth primarily for appearances and functional purposes, airway orthodontics improves breathing by expanding the airway and guiding proper jaw development.
This approach helps alleviate sleep-disordered breathing and enhances overall facial development, posture, and long-term health.
How Do We Determine Your Treatment Plan?
The first step in airway orthodontics is thorough testing to understand your unique airway structure.
This comfortable at-home test monitors your sleep and breathing patterns and helps us design the most effective treatment plan.
By collecting real-time data on your oxygen levels, heart rate variability, and sleep stages, the severity of your airway obstruction will be assessed by a sleep physician.
We will determine the best course of action, which will be tailored to your needs.
How Airway Orthodontics Addresses Airway Issues
Airway orthodontic treatment optimizes oral and facial development to create a more open airway.
The expansion techniques widen the dental arches and airway space, naturally improving breathing.
By encouraging jaw growth and proper tongue placement, airway orthodontics supports healthy breathing patterns and can even correct mild to moderate sleep apnea in adults.
This preventative measure helps children develop proper airway function before sleep disorders begin, reducing the need for more invasive solutions later in life.
Airway orthodontics offers several additional benefits:
Treatment Options
At Modern Sleep Airway & Orthodontics, we also offer several leading oral appliance brands for adults. These include SomnoMed, ProSomnus, and Panthera.
Each appliance is custom-fitted to your needs, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Oral appliances work by repositioning the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep.
These devices are a comfortable, non-invasive alternative to surgery. They can significantly improve sleep quality and daytime energy levels.
We tailor our treatments to provide long-term relief and better sleep whether you require mild airway support or a more advanced repositioning solution.
For Kids
Vivos appliances help guide jaw and airway development, helping them grow with optimal breathing capacity.
Early intervention reduces the likelihood of developing sleep apnea or chronic orthodontic issues in adulthood.
