How Does Your Dentist Treat Airway Obstruction Issues?

A poor bite, missing teeth, misaligned jaw, and other dental abnormalities can cause breathing problems. Depending on your dentist’s diagnosis, the dentist, orthodontist, or oral surgeon can correct them with one of several treatments.

Mandibular Repositioning Device

This device temporarily moves the jawbone forward and opens the airway, especially for patients with sleep apnea; the device is worn during sleep with or without a CPAP machine. You can remove the device after you wake up.

Are Your Dental Issues Really an Airway Issue?

Human body lying down with the words, Are Your Dental Issues Really an Airway Issue?

Modern dentistry is moving toward a more functional, “whole health” model that focuses on the connection between your mouth and your entire body.

Dentists are often the first to recognize signs of diabetes or oral cancer and refer patients to their doctors. More recently, dental professionals are examining patients’ mouths for signs of airway obstruction.

Myofunctional Therapy: Having a Trainer for your Face & Tongue

Myofunctional Therapy includes exercises that are meant to improve the strength of the muscles of the base of the tongue, tonsils, soft palate, and walls of the pharynx

Your oral health is about much more than straight or sparkling teeth. Our office has now begun incorporating orofacial myofunctional therapy and training into our services. In simpler terms, we can act as a personal exercise trainer for your face, tongue, lips and breathing muscles, treating issues such as temporomandibular joint disease (TMJ), obstructive sleep apnea, incorrect swallowing, tongue postures and more with non-invasive techniques.

All of these disorders can cause improper facial development, issues with chewing, swallowing and speech, and eventually lead to dental and orthodontic problems, such as misaligned teeth, gum disease, and tooth grinding. Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDS) such as tongue tie and mouth breathing, are also highly correlated with sleep breathing issues such as snoring and sleep apnea. A program of targeted myofunctional exercises can avert or prevent permanent damage, particularly in the developing child.
