How Orthodontic Treatment Can Improve Sleep and Breathing

When you think about orthodontics, you probably are reminded of straighter teeth and a better smile. But did you know that orthodontic treatment can also help with sleep and breathing issues? For patients struggling with sleep apnea, snoring, or constant fatigue, correcting jaw misalignment can make a huge difference.

More Than Just Straight Teeth

Orthodontic treatments like braces and Invisalign can provide benefits beyond just aesthetically straighter teeth. These treatments can actually correct these issues and improve airflow.

For patients with a narrow jaw, we offer treatment options that help create more space in the mouth. This not only helps align your teeth but also opens up your airway, making it easier to breathe.

Misaligned bites, like overbites or underbites, can cause your tongue to rest in a position that blocks your airway. Orthodontic treatment can correct this!

Addressing the Root Cause of Sleep Problems

When you address the root cause of your sleep and breathing problems, the benefits are numerous. Patients who correct jaw alignment often notice:

• Better sleep quality, helping you feel refreshed.

• More energy and focus during the day.

• Reduced snoring for deeper sleep.

• Improved overall health, thanks to better oxygen flow.
