What We Treat

Adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a serious condition where relaxed tissues or narrowed airways interrupt nighttime breathing. Beyond snoring, OSA can contribute to chronic fatigue, cardiovascular risks, and metabolic challenges. Many adults struggle with daytime sleepiness, irritability, or a general decline in quality of life without realizing that poor sleep is at the root.

Our approach addresses the structural causes of OSA—often involving jaw positioning, airway constrictions, or poor nighttime posture. By combining airway-expanding therapies, targeted exercises, and sometimes minimally invasive dental procedures, we aim to support your body’s natural ability to breathe deeply during sleep. The result is more restful nights, improved energy during the day, and a significant reduction in health risks associated with untreated OSA.

Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) may snore, breathe predominantly through the mouth, or struggle to stay in deep, restorative sleep. These disturbances often lead to daytime issues such as hyperactivity, difficulty focusing, or frequent mood swings. Left unaddressed, SDB can have negative effects on growth, facial development, social skills or academic performance. Early intervention is key.

By assessing your child’s airway, jaw development, and facial structure, we can recommend strategies to encourage healthier breathing patterns. This might include peaceful orthodontic appliances that expand the airway, targeted myofunctional therapy, or lifestyle adjustment recommendations. By fostering proper nasal breathing and stable sleep, children can experience improved cognitive function, mood regulation, and overall well-being. Your child deserves to thrive!

Postural Dentistry

Postural dentistry takes a holistic view of oral health, recognizing that the alignment of your teeth and jaws directly affects the balance and posture of your entire body. By carefully evaluating occlusion (how teeth come together), jaw position, and body alignment, we can identify imbalances that may be causing chronic pain, tension, or breathing challenges.

Rather than simply focusing on the teeth themselves, postural dentistry seeks to correct the underlying structural issues that lead to discomfort or dysfunction. Integrating techniques that stabilize the bite and reestablish a healthy relationship between the head, neck, and spine can help alleviate a wide range of symptoms—including jaw pain, headaches, or postural strain — while promoting long-term wellness.

Childhood Growth Optimization

A child’s facial growth and jaw development set the stage for long-term health, influencing everything from breathing efficiency to posture and alignment. Our goal is to create the proper environment for optimal growth—helping ensure adequate space for developing teeth, open airways, and balanced facial structures. Even if your child does not suffer from difficulty sleeping, growth optimization is likely to be protective against sleep disordered breathing later in life.

Using the Toothpillow App, parents can track their child’s progress, monitor improvements in oral posture, and receive personalized tips to encourage healthy habits. Early intervention is especially important: it can help guide jaw and cranial development, reduce the likelihood of future orthodontic complications, and support overall well-being as your child grows into adolescence and beyond.

Adult Wellness Optimization

Many adults overlook how interconnected their oral and postural health can be with overall wellness. Even minor misalignments in the jaws or a subtly unbalanced bite can lead to headaches, neck tension, or chronic fatigue that hamper daily life. Addressing these foundational issues offers a path to feeling more energized and resilient.

Our comprehensive methodology looks at the bigger picture, assessing not just your teeth but your entire musculoskeletal framework and breathing patterns. By fine-tuning how the jaws align, optimizing bite function, and supporting better posture, we help unlock your body’s full potential for movement, energy, and comfort. This proactive, integrative approach can be a game-changer for anyone looking to elevate everyday performance and enjoy a higher quality of life.
