Airway OrthodonticsIn San Marino– Invisalign Alternative
Airway orthodontics is an emerging field that focuses on the relationship between orthodontic treatment and airway health. At San Marino Orthodontics, Dr. Tina Siu and Dr. Daniel Chee are at the forefront of this innovative approach, helping patients achieve not only a beautiful smile but also improved overall health. While traditional orthodontics primarily addresses teeth alignment and bite issues, airway orthodontics considers how these treatments can positively impact the airway. This can lead to a reduction or even elimination of sleep apnea symptoms, although it is not yet our policy to treat patients solely for airway concerns. Instead, many individuals with malocclusions may find that their orthodontic treatment inadvertently enhances their airway, leading to better breathing and sleep quality.
