At The Airway Center, we are acutely aware of how underdeveloped arches and small mouths impact our patients' well-being. While we place a high value on aesthetics, we never compromise on health. Our minimally invasive, effective solutions address crowding by creating space, resulting in a healthy, beautiful, and functional smile that endures long-term.
Many expansion devices only focus on creating width in the palate, but they miss a crucial aspect of overall health and functional improvements. Our system stands out because:
Open Palate Design: Our smaller, uniquely designed appliances feature an open palate, providing better tongue space which is essential for optimal airway health.
Early Treatment: We have the capability to treat patients as young as 2 years old, which allows for early intervention and more effective results.
The Importance of Arch Development:
Our approach emphasizes forward development for several key reasons:
Arch development: It develops the arches, creating optimal space for the tongue.
Can Prevent Invasive Procedures: Adequate space is created, reducing the need for IPR (Interproximal Reduction) and extractions and surgery.
Facial Symmetry: Promotes a strong jawline and facial symmetry, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
Our comprehensive approach ensures that our patients achieve not just a beautiful smile, but a healthier, more functional foundation that enhances their overall well-being.
