At RS Orthodontics, we believe orthodontic care isn’t just about straight teeth—it’s abouthealthy development from the inside out. That’s why we take an airway-first approachwhen evaluating your child’s orthodontic needs.
Why does airway matter? Because how a child breathes—especially during sleep—canaffect everything from jaw growth to focus at school.
Children who breathe through their mouths often develop narrow dental arches, crowded teeth, and even behavioral issues due to poor sleep. These early signs can go unnoticed, which is why we evaluate airway function as part of every new patient consultation.
Our approach includes:
- 3D scans to assess nasal and oral airway volume
- Questions about snoring, sleep habits, and energy levels
- Gentle evaluation of jaw and tongue posture
With early detection, we can often guide your child’s growth with expanders or interceptive treatments that improve both facial development and quality of life.
Airway orthodontics is one of the most exciting innovations in our field—and it’s one we’re proud to bring to families in Martinsburg and Charles Town. Because your child deserves to breathe well, sleep well, and smile confidently.
Airway health isn’t something to wait on—early insight can change the trajectory of your child’s growth, sleep, and confidence.
