Braces and Clear Aligners
Airway-driven orthodontic treatment is a relatively new approach to orthodontics that focuses on improving the patient's airway and breathing, rather than solely focusing on aligning the teeth. Traditional orthodontic treatments often focus on straightening teeth to improve aesthetics and bite function, but airway-driven orthodontics takes a more holistic approach by addressing potential underlying airway issues that may contribute to orthodontic problems.
The primary goal of airway-driven orthodontic treatment is to expand the upper airway, which can lead to several benefits, including improved breathing, reduced risk of sleep apnea, and better overall health. By focusing on the airway, airway-driven orthodontics aims to address not only the cosmetic aspects of a patient's smile but also their overall well-being.
