🌬️ Orthodontics isn’t just about straight teeth — it’s about healthy breathing.
At RJ Orthodontics & Associates, we take an airway-based approach to orthodontic care. That means we look beyond alignment and evaluate how the jaws, teeth, and airway work together to support proper breathing, sleep, and overall health.
✨ What is Airway-Based Orthodontics?
It’s an approach that considers:
• How a patient breathes (nose vs. mouth)
• Jaw development and facial growth
• Tongue posture and oral habits
• Sleep quality and airway space
Crowded teeth, narrow arches, mouth breathing, and snoring can all be signs that the airway deserves attention — especially in growing children.
✨ Why It Matters
A healthy airway can contribute to:
✔️ Better sleep
✔️ Improved focus and daytime energy
✔️ Healthier jaw and facial development
✔️ More stable orthodontic results
✨ Our Philosophy
By identifying airway concerns early, we can often guide growth in a healthier direction and reduce the need for more invasive treatment later on.
Because orthodontic care should support overall wellness — not just a beautiful smile.
