Airway-focused orthodontics is a revolutionary approach that goes beyond simply straightening teeth. Unlike traditional methods, this treatment focuses on correcting the underlying causes of malocclusion, such as improper facial and jaw development. By creating a wider, more open airway, this comprehensive approach can lead to better breathing, improved sleep, and enhanced facial harmony. It’s a foundational approach to health that provides both children and adults with a beautiful smile and a healthier, more comfortable life.
