Orthodontic treatment involves treating irregularities in the teeth, such as alignment and occlusion, and with the help of airway orthodontics, an oral appliance can serve the dual purpose of keeping airways open and teeth protected. Ultimately, this promotes adequate breathing and jaw development as well. Wondering what this looks like for youthful grins? In today’s blog, your Mansfield, TX, orthodontists take a closer look at what makes airway orthodontics ideal for comprehensive adolescent dental care and what to expect from the process.
Correcting Bite Issues
When a person’s smile develops unevenly, it can impact that person’s structural integrity and bite function as well. This can contribute to problems biting, chewing, and speaking and, ultimately, influence your overall oral health. If your child’s smile is developing suboptimally, it may be in their best interest for you to contact our team to learn more about possible dental options.
Crooked teeth may also contribute to jaw and TMJ issues, as you have to work harder to accommodate for the discrepancy in bite alignment. This strain can cause discomfort, pain, and more. Not only this, but malocclusion can cause uneven wear and tear on your teeth, making patients more susceptible to infections and other concerns in a particular area of your teeth. For more information about this process and how our comprehensive orthodontic treatment options can be customized to your individual needs, call our office.
Sleep Apnea Prevention and Sleep-Disordered Breathing
Another important function of orthodontic treatment is how it can be customized to treat sleep-disordered breathing. With the use of airway orthodontics—which address misalignment and other concerns by optimizing the size and function of the airway to improve breathing and overall health—we can help you achieve a more gorgeous smile, healthier alignment, and better rest and prioritize your overall health in the process. Ask Drs. Coerver about how our team can help.
Additional Benefits of Airway Orthodontics
Sleep issues can have a serious impact on you and your family’s health, function, and overall day-to-day experience.
