COMPREHENSIVE AIRWAY DENTISTRY SERVICES

We evaluate airway health using modern diagnostic tools and a patient-centered approach. Our airway-centered approach emphasizes early evaluation, detailed assessment, and individualized treatment planning. By understanding the relationship between oral anatomy, jaw position, and breathing patterns, we can help support improved airflow and long-term wellness for both children and adults.

​

Airway Evaluation & Screening
We perform comprehensive assessments to identify signs of airway restriction or dysfunction, including:

• Sleep and breathing history

• Oral and facial anatomy evaluation

• Tongue posture and jaw alignment assessment

• Screening for sleep-disordered breathing​

​

Oral Appliance Therapy
Custom oral appliances may be recommended to help maintain an open airway during sleep.

• Supports proper jaw and tongue positioning

• Improves airflow and sleep quality

• Reduces snoring in appropriate cases

​​

Pediatric Airway Assessment
Early evaluation of airway development in children helps identify concerns related to:

• Mouth breathing

• Narrow dental arches

• Improper jaw growth

• Sleep disturbances affecting growth and behavior

​

Sleep-Disordered Breathing & Sleep Apnea Screening
Airway concerns may contribute to snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. We screen for:

• Chronic snoring

• Daytime fatigue or poor sleep quality

• Bruxism associated with airway obstruction

• Referral for sleep studies when indicated

​

TMJ & Airway Relationship Evaluation
We assess the relationship between jaw alignment, TMJ function, and airway health. Proper jaw positioning may play an important role in breathing efficiency and comfort.​​​

 

Collaborative Care
When appropriate, we coordinate care with physicians, sleep specialists, ENT providers, and orthodontists to support comprehensive treatment planning.
