Airway Orthodontics at Reichheld Ting Orthodontics
Revolutionizing Orthodontic Care with Airway Orthodontics
At Reichheld Ting Orthodontics, we go beyond traditional orthodontic treatment to address underlying airway concerns that may affect overall health. Our airway orthodontics approach focuses on optimizing the airway, ensuring better breathing, sleep quality, and overall well-being for patients of all ages.
What Is Airway Orthodontics?
Airway orthodontics is an advanced method of treatment aimed at correcting structural issues in the jaw and oral cavity that may contribute to airway restrictions. These issues can lead to problems such as:
- Snoring and sleep apnea
- Chronic mouth breathing
- Difficulty focusing or daytime fatigue
- Improper jaw development in children
Our team evaluates your orthodontic needs holistically, considering how your bite, jaw alignment, and airway function work together.
Benefits of Airway Orthodontics
Airway orthodontics offers numerous advantages for both children and adults:
- Improved Breathing: Addresses issues like mouth breathing and snoring.
- Better Sleep: Helps reduce sleep apnea and related disruptions.
- Enhanced Development in Children: Encourages proper jaw growth and alignment to prevent future complications.
- Holistic Health Benefits: Supports overall health by promoting optimal oxygen intake.

Who Should Consider Airway Orthodontics?
For Children:
Early intervention can have a significant impact on a child’s development. We recommend children visit an orthodontist by age 7 to evaluate their airway health and jaw growth. Proper diagnosis can prevent long-term issues, ensuring healthy facial development and better sleep patterns.
For Adults:
Adults with chronic snoring, sleep apnea, or jaw misalignment can also benefit. Airway orthodontics can be combined with other treatments to improve sleep quality and overall health.
