Airway-Focused Orthodontics: What Parents Should Know
x min read

Airway-focused orthodontics looks beyond just straightening teeth—it focuses on how your child breathes, sleeps, and grows. Instead of treating crowding as a cosmetic issue, this approach examines whether narrow jaws, mouth breathing, or poor tongue posture are affecting your child’s airway. A restricted airway can lead to snoring, restless sleep, daytime tiredness, and even changes in facial development.
By identifying these issues early, orthodontists can guide jaw growth, improve breathing patterns, and support healthier development. Airway-focused care helps kids sleep better, feel better, and grow with a stronger foundation for lifelong oral health, not only a straighter smile.
