The Airway Orthodontics Treatment Process

Initial Consultation and Sleep Study

During your child's initial consultation, we will discuss their symptoms and conduct a sleep study using the Sleep Image ring. This device, worn on the finger and connected to a smartphone, collects data on your child's sleep, which we then analyze to design a personalized treatment plan.

Appliance Fitting

If your child is a suitable candidate for Airway Orthodontics, the next step is the fitting of the appliance. This could be a fixed expander or Invisalign, depending on your child's needs. These appliances work to gradually expand your child's airway, improving their breathing during sleep.

Regular Check-ups and Adjustments

Once the appliance is fitted, your child will need regular check-ups to monitor their progress and make any necessary adjustments. We also screen patients for myofunctional therapy, referring suitable candidates to our trusted network of providers. This comprehensive approach ensures your child receives the best possible care and achieves the best possible results.
