Breathe easier, sleep better, and thrive again, with specialized airway dentistry treatments at Family Dental Center. At our practice in Nampa, ID, our team understands that complete oral health goes beyond teeth and gums. It affects your overall airway health, breathing, and sleep. As an airway dentist, we focus on how the oral and facial structures influence airway function, helping patients of all ages improve their sleep, breathing, and long-term health.
With millions of Americans affected by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other sleep-disordered breathing conditions, airway-focused dentistry is an essential part of comprehensive care. Many patients seeking help today are looking for specialized airway solutions, and Family Dental Center is equipped to provide just that.
What Is Airway Dentistry?
An Airway Dentist™ evaluates and treats dental and facial structures that affect the airway. This approach considers how malocclusion, jaw position, and oral health habits can impact breathing, sleep quality, and overall wellness.
We develop personalized treatment plans that may include:
- Myofunctional appliance guides to guide proper oral and facial development
- Fixed and removable expansion appliances to improve airway space
- TMD and airway-friendly appliances to relieve jaw tension while supporting breathing
- Clear aligner therapy to improve alignment without compromising airway function
- Myofunctional therapy to strengthen oral and facial muscles and support healthy breathing
Why Airway Dentistry Matters
Over 22 million Americans suffer from obstructive sleep apnea and often go undiagnosed. 3 out of 4 patients present with malocclusion, which can contribute to airway restriction. Proper airway-focused care can prevent future sleep and health complications while improving quality of life.
Airway dentistry is about more than treating teeth; it’s about helping you breathe freely, sleep deeply, and feel your best every day. By combining dental expertise with targeted airway treatments, we work to address the root causes of sleep and breathing issues, not just the symptoms.
