Functional Orthodontics

Our orthodontic approach focuses on the holistic development of your facial structure, improving overall function, and aligning the teeth for a balanced, healthy smile.

We prioritize optimizing the jaw joints, enhancing breathing by opening the airway, and stabilizing the bite, all while ensuring the alignment of the teeth. This method goes beyond traditional orthodontics, offering a more comprehensive and innovative solution tailored to individual needs.

To achieve the best results, we often use removable appliances, which provide a comfortable, convenient, and predictable path to improvement. Each treatment plan is personalized, with options specifically chosen to address your unique needs. The process begins with a thorough consultation, where we assess your goals and determine the most effective approach. Ultimately, the goal is not just a beautiful smile, but also better health, improved sleep, and enhanced function for a higher quality of life.

The Vivos Method

DNA appliances can be used in both kids and adults to improve growth & promote remodeling of the jaws and midface.

The DNA appliance has been shown to help improve facial balance and structure, expand and open the upper airway, and allow teeth to come into alignment naturally Other benefits of a DNA appliance includes:
  • Elevated energy levels
  • More pleasing and balanced smile
  • Improved facial esthetics
  • More pronounced cheekbones
  • Straighter teeth
  • More room in the mouth for tongue to “fit properly”

Proper growth and development of the Jaws and mid-face should be evaluated at an early age. We can introduce easy to adapt routines and simple appliances for kids as young as 3 years old. The earlier we can intervene, the less likely for more involved treatments to be needed in the future.

Maxillary Skeletal Expanders (MSE)

Maxillary Skeletal Expanders (MSE) expand and broaden the palate while being a great alternative to extensive surgery.

How It Works

The device is placed with local anesthetic and is held in place by four temporary implants in the palate. The MSE improves airway and respiratory function, opens nasal cavities, allows space for the tongue, and relieves crowding issues. This greatly benefits those with sleep apnea, fatigue, breathing problems and difficulty sleeping.
