My overall approach is to ensure my primary focus for each of my patients is in this order: airway, breathing, teeth that function well, and aesthetics. Airway health is my number one focus and one that is often overlooked by other orthodontists. Having a healthy airway is the first step toward having good overall health and avoiding sleep apnea. In adults, sleep apnea can cause a lack of energy while increasing the occurrence of chronic illnesses like diabetes, severe snoring, heart disease, and high blood pressure. In children, sleep apnea can lead to learning and behavioral issues such as ADHD.
