Please Tell Us Your Primary Concern
1. Structure, Function, Health, Longevity
Patients often seek:
- A stable, comfortable bite
- Normal jaw function without pain, tightness, or headaches
- Relief from TMJ-related symptoms
- Long-term structural harmony
2. Facial Aesthetics
Patients may desire:
- Improved facial balance
- A more harmonious profile
- A healthy, radiant smile
- For many men, a stronger jawline
3. Airway, Sleep, and Breathing
Patients may seek:
- Improved airflow
- Better sleep quality
- Reduced snoring or congestion
- More consistent daytime energy
Did you know that snoring is not considered normal in children or adults?
Do you wake up feeling truly rested and rejuvenated?
Many people assume morning fatigue is due to stress, age, diet, or lifestyle. In some cases, it may be related to airway restriction.
We can provide testing to evaluate how your jaw position, nasal structure, and sinus anatomy may contribute to your airway, breathing and sleep quality.
