What Is Orthotropics?
Orthotropics is a form of jaw-targeted corrective treatment that focuses on resting oral posture. Various life factors like postural changes and mouth breathing can negatively affect your facial position. Our practice has the skills and experience to apply orthotropic treatment to adults whose jaws have already settled into position. Using appliances and exercises, we're able to make positive changes to the jaw position of adults.

What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the use of dental appliances to make changes to your smile and correct bite issues. For example, traditional metal braces are composed of wires, brackets, and elastic bands. The brackets are placed on the surface of your teeth, while the wires are threaded through them and held together with the bands. This places uniform pressure throughout your smile to move your teeth into their desired positions.
If you're looking for a way to straighten your smile without feeling self-conscious at work or school, Invisalign® clear braces may be the perfect option for you. Compared to traditional braces, Invisalign uses a set of removable, clear aligners that helps move your teeth over time. Invisalign is ideal for treating mild to moderate dental alignment issues with minimal required adjustments to your diet and overall lifestyle.

Our appliances are designed to make changes to your jaws without making you feel significant pain or discomfort. If you have questions about how our orthotropic treatment will feel, our dental team can address any concerns you may have.
Yes. We typically see patients with one or multiple crowns or other dental prosthetics. Traditional braces can make drastic changes to your smile while also changing the position of your crowns.
When your jaws are misaligned, it can lead to problems with your oral tissues. This can block your air passages, particularly at night, making it challenging to breathe and get the rest you need. Additionally, you may find yourself gasping for breath at night because breathing momentarily stops.
