Airway Dentistry, Jaw Development & The Hidden Root of Chronic Symptoms
6 months ago
- Straight teeth do not equal a healthy airway. Traditional orthodontics focused on aesthetics can reduce airway volume and contribute to sleep and breathing disorders.
- Clenching and grinding are often breathing issues. These patterns are the body’s way of pulling the jaw forward to keep the airway open—especially during sleep.
- Early intervention changes everything. Addressing tongue ties and narrow palates in infancy or childhood can prevent braces, CPAP use, and jaw surgery later in life.
