Airway Orthodontics and Sleep Apnea Care

At Aspire Orthodontics, we are committed to addressing airway issues
in both children and adults through specialized orthodontic care. As a
Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, Dr. Jason
brings advanced expertise in the relationship between orthodontics,
airway development, and sleep-disordered breathing.

For children, early intervention is key. Our airway-focused approach
allows us to identify and address developmental concerns using
palatal expansion and other orthodontic techniques when appropriate
to encourage healthy jaw development. We collaborate closely with
local ENT and sleep physicians to ensure comprehensive, coordinated
care. By addressing these concerns early, we can improve a child’s
sleep quality and overall health while helping guide proper jaw and
bite development to support long-term growth and function.
For adults, we also provide airway-focused orthodontic treatment,
including adult palatal expansion (MARPE/MSE) when appropriate, to
help improve jaw development, support nasal breathing, and create a
healthy foundation for long-term orthodontic and airway health.
