What is Airway Centric?  For many years, dentistry – including orthodontics, has focused on dental health, the care and repair of teeth and supporting structures. Due to the rapid growth in sleep and dental sleep medicine, maintaining the airway’s physiological function has shifted into high priority. This allows patients to be treated for airway problems that may be missed or may only be able to receive temporary relief if ignored.more

  1. No impressions. The old moulding technique is quite messy.  The patient is forced to sit with a large rubber-like material in the mouth for fifteen minutes.  Many patients choke, gag, and experience great discomfort. The digital technique is more comfortable since it scans the teeth, which only requires a few minutes of the patient’s time.
  2. No gagging. As the Intraoral Scanner does not use any moulding, there is nothing to ga

Crooked teeth, more correctly called malocclusions, have reached epidemic proportions in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, approximately 80 percent of American teenagers are currently undergoing orthodontic treatment.

I happened to be in a government office building recently around the lunch hour. What struck me was how many employees were openly carrying toothbrushes up and down the hallway, apparently going to or coming from a post lunch “floss and brush” session. It made me reflect on the behavioral adaptive changes that were being picked up by the ever – evolving, health conscious society of the current day. Could it truly be that healthy gums, straight and cavity-free teeth, have become a pr

“Call me crazy but when my now fiancé proposed to me all I could think about was “OMG I won’t be able to smile on my wedding day!” consciousness about the appearance of my teeth is not something that I always talked or thought about.
