Airway Orthodontics for Adults | Orthodontic Wellness Center

We Help You
Achieve The Best You

For a long time, the word "orthodontics" meant braces and straight teeth - it should be addressing overall health and wellness.

THE PROBLEM - ADULTS

Adults deserve dental health, freedom from pain & overall wellness

We believe in excellence when it comes to general and cosmetic dentistry for adults. We are gentle. We don't judge. We use the latest technology and we take most insurance plans.

We also excel in adult orthodontics. We have experience in straightening teeth for the first time, reversing previous orthodontic outcomes re-opening extraction spaces. We also specialize in treating TMJ problems, Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and other sleep related breathing disorders.

Poor sleep can be detrimental to your health.

Snoring can be defined as the dull/course noise emitting from our throats and nasal passages as we sleep. Snoring can be a relatively harmless annoyance but it can be a chronic problem. Snoring may be an indication of a larger, more serious health problem. These problems could be:

Tongue-tie (even in adults!)
Obstructive Sleep Apnea, (OSA)
Over consumption of alcohol
Anatomy of mouth; a small airway
Chronic nasal congestion
Poor Sleep Position
Sleep Deprivation

Treatment at the Orthodontic Wellness Center is a true investment in overall health.

Airway and Sleep Screening tools help us evaluate oral posture and screen for obstructive sleep apnea, TMJ issues and jaw retrusion.

OUR SOLUTION

Sleep and Airway Screening

Healthy breathing and restful sleep are the foundation that any healthy life is built upon.

We offer a sleep screening tool known as a high-resolution pulse oximetry (HRPO). HRPO results help us to better isolate the particular physiological issues that prevent proper airflow which, in turn, helps us provide a treatment plan that is more likely to result in symptom relief and health improvements.

High-resolution Pulse Oximetry

Chronic sleep interruption and breathing difficulties can lead to a variety of diseases and chronic conditions.

Do patients ever need orthognathic surgery to get the best possible health outcome?

Generally speaking snoring is a big symptom of OSA, but snoring by itself does not necessarily mean an individual has OSA. But if you snore AND have these symptoms it is possible you are suffering from OSA

Specific exercises are deployed to posture the tongue properly and position the jaws more optimally. When effective Oral Myofacial Therapy can help patients relieve symptoms and improve overall health and wellness without more intrusive treatments.

THE PROBLEM

Oral Myofacial Therapy

Think of Oral Myofacial Therapy as physical therapy for the tongue, teeth, jaws and face.

For some, a referral to a co-specialist may be the best course of action, We work with many health professionals including involvement with an, osteopathic DO, nutritionist, ENT physician, oral myofunctional therapy (OMT).

Interdisciplinary Care

For each patient, we fully assess treatment goals in light of any current acute or chronic physiological conditions.

OUR SOLUTION

We want our customers to feel welcome in our office. We encourage all parents/caregivers to accompany the child to the appointment as direct involvement of parents with pediatric patients is the best dynamic for success.

I have years of experience, but I never stop learning. Airway orthodontics and "forwardontics" are my passion, which will be evident at every appointment.

I proudly perform 90% of all direct patient care in my practice – unlike many other offices that delegate most work to dental assistants. This is how I create a long-term bond with my patients, for which I am truly grateful.
