Airway Orthodontics
Develop the structure behind a healthy smile
Airway Orthodontics considers jaw development, tongue space, airway, bite, and facial balance while creating stable, naturally aligned smiles.
Why it matters
Orthodontics is about more than straight teeth. Jaw development and tooth position can influence tongue space, facial balance, bite stability, and airway function.
The Aviara difference
Rather than focusing only on alignment, we evaluate the relationship between the jaws, teeth, tongue, airway, TMJ, and facial development before designing treatment.
Our approach
Digital scans, imaging, facial analysis, bite and TMJ evaluation, and airway considerations help us determine the appropriate path for jaw development and alignment. When indicated, we stabilize and support the TMJ before or during orthodontic treatment, with MyoFascial and postural therapies integrated to support healthier function and long-term stability.

Good to know
How is Airway Orthodontics different from traditional orthodontics?
It considers not only tooth alignment and palatal expansion, but also functional jaw development, tongue space, airway, function, and facial balance.
Does every patient need jaw development?
No. Treatment depends on age, anatomy, growth, structural findings, and individual goals.
