Orthodontics is evolving, and at the forefront is a compassionate, airway-focused approach that challenges traditional methods. Expansive orthodontics is leading this change, moving away from restrictive techniques to better address patients’ needs and overall health.
Airway orthodontics goes beyond basic alignment, tackling issues like sleep bruxism, dental trauma, and the significant effects of diet on oral health. At The Dentist Lounge, our commitment is clear: prioritize function first and ensure lasting wellness for every patient we serve.
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners focus on expanding and aligning teeth without invasive procedures like tooth extractions or tooth size reduction (IPR). These nearly invisible aligners are perfect for adults, blending seamlessly with your smile. With remote monitoring they offer both convenience and peace of mind.
Myofunctional therapy uses specific exercises to strengthen the muscles of the tongue, face, and upper airway. This helps maintain bite alignment, reduce airway obstruction in sleep apnea therapy, and support speech therapy. Myofunctional therapy complements various functional treatments.
Vivos addresses sleep-disordered breathing conditions, like obstructive sleep apnea, with custom-designed oral appliances. These appliances remodel the upper airway, improving breathing and targeting the root causes of sleep-related issues.
Using FDA-cleared sleep rings, home sleep tests offer a convenient and gentle way to monitor sleep patterns. This helps identify breathing-related disorders without the discomfort of traditional lab-based tests.
