Did you know there’s a link between your smile and your breathing? At Smile Brite Orthodontics we’re committed to enhancing your smile and overall health with the latest advancements in orthodontic care. It’s not just about a straight smile – its about tackling the root cause of breathing issues that can impact your sleep, energy levels, and even cognitive function.
What is Airway Orthodontics and why is it important?
Optimize your airway for better breathing during sleep and throughout the day. Correcting narrow dental arches and improper jaw alignment can alleviate sleep apnea, snoring, and other breathing issues.
Properly aligned jaws and facial structures not only improve your smile’s appearance but also contribute to overall facial symmetry by correcting jaw development issues that may be blocking your airways.
Airway Orthodontics addresses both teeth alignment and underlying issues affecting your breathing and health.
Our experienced orthodontic specialists tailor your treatment plan to suit your unique needs, providing top-notch care throughout your journey.
Early intervention is key!
For optimal results, we recommend that your child come in for an evaluation by age 7.
Why?
60% of facial growth takes place during the first 4 years of life and 90% is complete by age 12 making age 7 the perfect time to correct any skeletal growth issues that may be affecting the airways!
Past age 7? No problem! We offer customized treatment options for adults who could benefit form improved air flow.
