Airway Orthodontics In Charlotte, NC

Home » Other Treatments » Airway Orthodontics

Enjoy A Restful Night’s Sleep With Improved Breathing & Oral Health

A common misperception of orthodontic treatment is that it treats a problem that is primarily aesthetic. Indeed, the confidence that comes from straight teeth and a beautiful smile can benefit you throughout your life. Orthodontics is about more than looks, however. When a child’s facial structure is guided properly, there can be lasting positive effects on the way they breathe. As orthodontists who specialize in advanced orthodontics in Charlotte, NC, our team strives to provide orthodontic treatment that does more than straighten teeth – we seek to provide our patients with a lifetime of healthy breathing.

Why Is The Way You Breathe Important?

You already know breathing is important, of course. It’s a fundamental function of life! What many people don’t recognize, however, is the wide spectrum between the states of “breathing” and “not breathing.” It’s possible to breathe in a way that optimally benefits your overall health. On the other hand, it is also possible to breathe in a way that forces your body to compensate for limited oxygen levels.

If your body regularly struggles for proper oxygen levels, numerous long-lasting health problems can result, including raising your risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. In younger children, chronic mouth breathing has even been definitively shown to change the shape of the developing face.

When Should You Or Your Child See An Airway Orthodontics Expert?

If you or your child demonstrates any of the following symptoms, then we recommend an evaluation with our team:

Symptoms In Toddlers & Children

  • Hyperactivity
  • ADHD
  • Chronic lethargy
  • Breathing through the mouth instead of nose
  • Rapid shallow breathing
  • Bedwetting
  • Chronic nighttime restlessness, waking, or nightmares
  • Periods of no breathing or breath-holding while asleep

Symptoms In Adolescents & Adults

  • Chronic daytime sleepiness despite a full night’s sleep
  • Feeling unrested upon waking in the morning
  • Dozing off during activities in the daytime
  • Poor school or work performance
  • Periods of no breathing or breath-holding while asleep
  • Obesity

What Is Airway Orthodontics?

Airway orthodontics seeks to address the underlying cause of obstructed breathing, so you can enjoy a lifetime of optimum breathing and improved overall health. During your initial exam and diagnosis, we will seek to answer the following questions:

  • Has the improper formation of the maxilla, mandible, or other components of the jaw and airway resulted in limited airflow during breathing?
  • Are there other reasons for restricted airflow that are better addressed by another medical specialist?
    Has the patient had to compensate for limited airflow while breathing? Has this resulted in improper habits, such as accelerated breathing, tongue placement, or body posture?
  • Have these compensations and/or genetic factors influenced the shape, size, or position of the jaw and face?
    If we identify any issues that could be helped with orthodontic treatment, we will discuss our recommendations with you during your initial consultation. Airway Orthodontic treatment is most effective in young children before their facial structure has fully developed, but it can also help adults to a limited degree.

Our offices have board-certified, award-winning orthodontists, and we proudly offer same-day appointments and treatment starts for your convenience.
