Insight Dental is here to offer you more than just a straight smile. Dr. Johnson aims to provide you or your child in Roswell, GA, with a lifetime of clear breathing with Airway Therapy.

What Is Airway Therapy?

Orthodontics is so much more than just an aesthetic treatment. Airway orthodontics can improve your overall orthodontic health in a variety of ways. Dr. Johnson’s Airway Therapy evaluates the relationship between your orthodontic health and oxygen intake, along with how specific adjustments to the facial structure, mouth, teeth, and jaws can improve your breathing.

The way you breathe can be beneficial or harmful to your overall health. If your body often struggles to maintain proper oxygen levels from obstructed breathing, multiple health problems can result. Airway Therapy is used to treat breathing obstructions that are caused by the improper growth of the face, teeth, and jaws.  

We recommend an evaluation if you or your child is experiencing the following symptoms:

• ADHD
• Obesity
• Sleep Apnea
• Snoring
• TMJ/TMD
• Behavioral problems
• Bedwetting
• Dozing off during daytime activities
• Poor school or work performance
• Chronic daytime sleepiness despite a full night’s sleep
• Feeling unrested upon waking in the morning
• Periods of no breathing or breath-holding while asleep

Treatment Options

Airway Therapy is most effective on young children because their facial structure has not fully developed, however it can also be helpful for adults to a degree. Our Airway Therapy treatments include:

• ALF Appliance - The ALF (Advanced Lightwire Functionals) Appliance improves the lower jawbone and muscle function to improve your breathing and overall oral posture. This appliance is custom-made and removable.
• Myobrace – This treatment is used to solve underlying issues and prevent crooked teeth from forming. Compared to traditional braces, it is causes less pain and is less invasive.
• Myofunctional Therapy - This is a type of physical therapy that is designed to improve the muscles of your face, tongue, and mouth. This series of exercises develops proper breathing, speaking, swallowing, and chewing techniques.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Johnson will thoroughly evaluate your case and recommend a personalized treatment plan. Schedule an appointment today to get you or your child started on the path to improved orthodontic health and healthy breathing.
