Airway Orthodontics in Reno, NV & Surrounding Areas
Enjoy the Peace of Mind that Comes From Healthy Breathing
Most people believe orthodontic treatment is primarily about treating problems aesthetically. While it’s true that the confidence that comes from straight teeth and a beautiful smile can benefit you throughout your life, orthodontics is about more than looks and appearances. When a child’s facial structure is guided properly, there can be lasting positive effects on the way they breathe. Our Board-Certified orthodontist specializes in Airway Orthodontics in Reno, NV & Surrounding Areas, and strives to provide orthodontic treatment that does more than straighten teeth – he seeks to provide you or your child with a lifetime of healthy breathing.
Don’t Just Breathe, Breathe Correctly!
We all know breathing is important and a fundamental function of life! What many people don’t realize, however, is the wide spectrum between the states of “breathing” and “not breathing.” Airway orthodontics seeks to identify children and adults experiencing cessation of breathing while sleeping. It is possible to breathe in a way that optimally benefits your overall health. On the other hand, it is also possible to breathe in a way that forces your body to compensate for limited oxygen levels.
If your body regularly struggles for proper oxygen levels, numerous long-lasting health problems can result, including raising your risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. In younger children, chronic mouth breathing has even been definitively shown to change the shape of the developing face.
