Airway Enhancement

According to recent studies, over 25 Million American men and women, over age 25, have mild to severe symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This serious sleep deprivation condition, if untreated causes more than 41,000 new cases of heart disease each year, costing more than $47 Billion annually, and killing more than 23% of these individuals. Additionally, patients with moderate to severe untreated OSA are 400 to 1,000% more likely to be involved in a auto accident than the general population. This Insidious problem, can now be successfully Attenuated or even Eliminated by Advanced Orthodontic Treatment.

Airway enhancement treatment in adults usually includes collaboration with a sleep physician specialist and/or a restorative dentist educated in sleep disordered breathing. Adult treatment may involve non-surgical or surgically assisted expansion and/or advancement of either or both the upper and lower jaws in addition to other necessary and associated orthodontic procedures. These airway development modalities can be accelerated up to 400% faster using the new techniques presented in the "Accelerated Orthodontics" section.

Children can also have similar compromised airways but differ from adults in their symptoms. They may display signs of ADHD, irritability, loss of focus, snoring and often lower grades in school. Diagnosis of airway problems is appropriate as early as age 4 or 5 with treatment typically starting at age 6 or 7 depending upon the severity of symptoms and the presence of enlarged tonsils or adenoids. Airway development may include non-surgical expansion and/or advancement of the upper jaw as well as a similar expansion and/or advancement of the lower jaw. Correction of excessive overjet (extended protrusion of the upper jaw over the lower jaw) may also be improved by the early use of removable myofunctional growth appliances.

The outcome of early Airway Development in Children, as well as Airway Enhancement in Adults is often Lifesaving  ........

                          But it Always Results in a dramatic Improvement in an individual's Quality of Life.

Testimonials

Dear Newport Center Orthodontics,

Dr. William Brady was recommended by my dentist because my orthodontic problem included a severe jaw overbite relationship which my dentist said needed an expert orthodontic practitioner to diagnose and to treat. Dr. Brady was very willing to tackle my extreme case and has been exceedingly professional and able in both his communication and case planning skills. After completing and solving my difficult orthodontic problem, I could not be more pleased with the very successful outcome, and will continue to recommend Dr. Brady highly to my friends, family and patients.

P.S. In each of my visits to Dr. Brady's office I have noted that he has been able to surround himself with highly trained and very skilled orthodontic assistants, which aids in continuing his enduring reputation and professional success.

Dr. S. Steven R., M.D.

Dr. Brady, as you know I have been an Orange County businessman for several years. I never thought that my crooked front teeth ever affected my marketing success until I came to you, with my wife's insistence, and began orthodontic treatment with Invisalign. After completing the job in record time, I now feel that indeed a pleasant smile is extremely important to a salesperson's self-confidence, and that sales effectiveness may be increased by a factor of several fold with a new beautiful smile. Dr. Brady, thank you for your fine professional work, and I will continue to recommend you and your fine staff every time I get the chance.
