Alternative Teeth Straightening

What is Airway aligners,?

Airway aligners, or clear aligners for airway issues, are orthodontic devices that go beyond just straightening teeth, aiming to improve respiratory capacity and address airway restrictions by expanding the airway and improving jaw alignment.

Additionally, Airway aligners:

  • While traditional orthodontics aims to straighten teeth, airway-focused orthodontics takes into account the broader oral and facial structure, including the airway.

     

  • Airway aligners work by adjusting the position of the jaw and tongue, promoting more room for the tongue to comfortably rest against the roof of the mouth, which enhances airflow and improves oxygen intake.
  • They can assist in managing conditions such as Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS), Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), snoring, and various other breathing issues.
  • Airway aligners are tailored to match each patient’s specific dental structure, providing both comfort and effectiveness. They offer a non-invasive alternative to certain other treatment options.

Our dentists will be happy to chat with you about the differences between traditional braces and Airway aligners and discuss which treatment option is most suitable for your situation.

How Airway Aligners Work?

Airway aligners function by addressing the positioning of the jaw and tongue to improve breathing and airflow. Here’s an overview of how they work:

Jaw Repositioning – By gently shifting the jaw into an optimal position, they help keep the airway open, reducing snoring and enhancing sleep quality.

Improved Airflow – This adjustment promotes better airflow, leading to increased oxygen intake, which can boost energy levels, reduce daytime fatigue, and support cognitive function.

Addressing Structural Issues – They can correct jaw misalignment and malocclusion of the lower teeth, which are often underlying causes of breathing problems.

The aligners are custom-made to fit each individual’s dental anatomy, ensuring both comfort and effectiveness as a non-invasive solution compared to surgical treatments.

As someone who suffers from dental anxiety and has had bad experiences with dentists in the past, I could not recommend Yeronga Park Dental more. The staff were incredibly understanding and made a usually very uncomfortable experience go as smoothly as possible. Dr. Astin was very understanding, non-judgemental, gave me lots of breaks and explained everything. 10/10 would recommend.

I’ve been to Yeronga Park Dental a few times now and have always had the best experience. The team at Yeronga Park Dental is so wonderful, I couldn’t recommend them enough. Each visit has been a testament to their professionalism and care. My most recent visit was for wisdom tooth removal, which can be a daunting procedure. However, the staff made me feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. Thanks to Dr Nicole and your wonderful DA. Their attentiveness and compassion truly stood out, turning what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and reassuring one. Special thanks to Vonnie for doing an exceptional job with my clean a few weeks back. See you again in 6 months. 😊 If you’re looking for exceptional dental care, look no further! 🦷✨

I'm not a great dental patient but I got the poor teeth in my family so I spend quite a bit of time in the dentist chair. I have gone to Nicole for over 10 years now and we have built a strong relationship where she knows me, what makes me nervous, and how to help me stay calm. This has built a really strong foundation of trust in Nicole and her team for my whole family.
