    Improving Breathing and Jaw Alignment with Airway Orthodontics

    At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Utah, we specialize in airway orthodontics—a treatment approach focused on improving jaw alignment and expanding the airway to support better breathing, sleep, and overall health. Unlike traditional orthodontics, airway-focused care addresses the root causes of sleep-disordered breathing, TMJ dysfunction, and facial development concerns. Our personalized treatment plans are designed to promote healthy growth and long-term wellness for both children and adults.

    Airway orthodontics may help with:

    • Chronic mouth breathing
    • Snoring and sleep apnea
    • Narrow dental arches and misaligned bites
    • Frequent headaches and jaw pain
    • Poor facial and jaw development in children
    We aim to create lasting improvements in both function and appearance through non-invasive, targeted care. Call us today at (385) 446-4947 to schedule a consultation.

    Q: What is airway orthodontics and how is it different from traditional orthodontics?

    A: Airway orthodontics focuses on the relationship between proper jaw development, facial growth, and healthy breathing.
