Airway Orthodontics

Invisalign From A Top 1% Provider In The Region

Breathe Easier, Live Healthier:

Airway Orthodontics at Trinity Orthodontics

At Trinity Orthodontics, we do more than just straighten teeth—we optimize your oral health for better breathing and overall well-being. Airway Orthodontics is a specialized approach that considers how orthodontic treatment can improve airflow, nasal breathing, and long-term health. Whether for a child needing early intervention or an adult experiencing sleep or breathing difficulties, our expert team is here to help.

The Link Between Breathing and Oral Health

The way we breathe—whether through the nose or mouth—directly affects our dental structure, sleep quality, and overall health. Chronic mouth breathing can lead to dry mouth, gum disease, misaligned jaws, and even changes in facial development. In contrast, nasal breathing supports proper jaw growth, healthier teeth, and better oxygen intake.
With Airway Orthodontics, we take a holistic approach to treatment, ensuring that orthodontic care enhances both breathing and facial development. Our treatments are designed to help patients breathe easier, sleep better, and even improve focus and athletic performance.

How Airway Orthodontics Can Help

Airway Orthodontics For Children

For Children:

Early intervention can guide proper jaw growth, create sufficient space for permanent teeth, and establish healthy breathing habits. This can prevent or reduce the need for more complex orthodontic treatments later in life.

Airway Orthodontics for Adult

For Adults:

Many adults suffer from undiagnosed airway issues that contribute to sleep apnea, snoring, and fatigue. Airway-focused orthodontic treatment can help alleviate these symptoms, leading to improved sleep and better overall health.

Signs That You or Your Child May Benefit from Airway Orthodontics

  • Frequent mouth breathing
  • Snoring or poor sleep quality
  • Difficulty focusing or daytime drowsiness
  • A history of sleep apnea or breathing difficulties
  • Narrow jaw or crowded teeth
  • Habitual thumb-sucking or tongue thrusting
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, a comprehensive evaluation at Trinity Orthodontics can determine whether Airway Orthodontics is right for you or your child.

The Trinity Orthodontics Approach

Our team, led by Dr. Nelson, a top 1% Diamond Plus Invisalign provider with over 30 years of experience, takes a customized, patient-first approach to airway health. Using advanced technology and diagnostic tools, we assess jaw development, breathing patterns, and facial structure to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Treatments may include:
  • Palatal expanders to widen the airway and improve nasal breathing
  • Orthodontic appliances to guide proper jaw growth and function
  • Invisalign or braces to correct alignment and enhance airflow
  • Myofunctional therapy to retrain oral muscles for better breathing habits

testimonial
I completed my Invisalign plan with Dr. Nelson and Trinity Orthodontics. The whole process from initial screening to check up appointment to final retainer fitting was so smooth. Dr. Nelson and his staff were amazing and made the journey to correcting my teeth smooth and never had hidden fees or surprise payments. They are straightforward and tell you how much, how long, and how many appointments you need to have right at the initial visit. This is the place to go.

Everyone is so happy and kind! They try to be as gentle as possible and definitely make sure you're comfortable. If you ever need a quick repair, they're there for you! I love my visits and don't like that sometimes they're too quick, lol. Dr. Nelson is amazing! My teeth are coming along nicely and I'm happier with my smile already!

Gallia K
I had an evaluation appointment with Lisa. She was really knowledgeable, informative, explained everything that she was doing as she was doing it, and was super nice! She explained all the options and gave advice without being very pushy and is clearly passionate about her job. The office is very clean and nice as well. Great experience - sending my husband to get checked out too!
