Orthodontic Treatment
Sleep still escapes you. You can’t manage a restful night’s sleep. Your sleeping disorders are still precluding you from the sleep you need and you are simply at a loss. An orthodontic treatment may be the answer you are looking for.
Everyone’s jaw grows at differing rates; your jaw growth is a gradual process. Usually your upper and lower jaws grow and develop at distinctive rates. This significantly impacts your breathing and is a major factor in your sleep deficiencies. In addition to your differing jaw growth, your jaw’s position could have been distorted by an injury or could be the result of a birth defect. Sleep apnea can also happen in those with buck teeth or a severe overbite.
The orthodontic advantage . . .
You can potentially benefit from orthodontic treatment because of the rearrangement and repositioning of your jaw. You will find reinforcement by expanding the upper and lower jaw and by broadening your breathing passageway.
Orthodontics can alter the pattern of your bite and modify your teeth. Today’s orthodontics are substantially different than the orthodontics of years gone by. Over the past 30 years or so, if you had any work done, odds are the exact reverse has been achieved in relation to the location of your jaw. Conventional orthodontic techniques pushed the jaw backwards, creating generations of people who now endure sleep problems. Today, a more progressive, innovative approach moves the lower jaw forward which corrects the situation.
The k7 machine measures muscle activity. This along with a cat scan analysis will help move the lower jaw down & forward, removing the torque. This special technology allows for (even) adult upper jaws to be expanded - non-surgically with minimum discomfort. This allows more room for the tongue, which in a lot of cases, has decreased the need for people to have part of their tongue surgically removed.
The intention of orthodontic treatment is to alter a range of facial and jaw irregularities, resulting in an improved ability to breathe and therefore, sleep. These adjustments can be achieved both with and without surgery - depending on the severity of the work required.
To optimize your health and get answers to your snoring-, sleep apnea-, insomnia-, and all sleep disorder questions, your search is over.
