What Is Airway Orthodontics?
Airway orthodontics is a specialized branch of orthodontics that focuses on the alignment of the teeth and jaws to improve breathing and airway function. Unlike traditional orthodontics, which primarily focuses on straightening teeth for aesthetic purposes, airway orthodontics prioritizes the optimization of the upper airway. This approach recognizes the intricate relationship between the position of the jaws, the size of the airway, and breathing patterns. Airway orthodontics aims to address the following issues by correcting underlying structural problems:
- Mouth breathing
- Snoring
- Sleep apnea and other obstructive sleep disorders
By promoting proper jaw alignment and expanding the dental arches, airway orthodontics can help alleviate breathing difficulties and improve overall health and quality of life.
What Are the Benefits Associated With Airway Orthodontics?
Benefits of airway orthodontics include:
- Improved breathing and airflow through the nasal passages
- Reduction in snoring and symptoms of sleep apnea
- Enhanced oxygen intake during sleep, leading to better rest and increased daytime energy levels
- Correction of facial asymmetry and development of a more balanced facial profile
- Prevention of dental issues such as overcrowding, malocclusions, and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ)
- Long-term stability of orthodontic results and improved overall oral health
