Specialized Orthodontic Solutions for Complex Cases in Henderson, NV

Some oral and facial conditions can have a significant impact on your overall health and well-being. These issues often go unnoticed but can lead to long-term problems if left unaddressed. By understanding these conditions, you can take a proactive approach to improving your quality of life.

We Can Help With Various Oral Conditions

We can help to meet the complex needs of our patients in Henderson, NV:

Tongue Thrust

A tongue thrust is when the tongue pushes forward against or between the front teeth while swallowing. This constant pressure can push the teeth out of alignment, creating an open bite and affecting a person's speech.

Mouth Breathing & Sleep Apnea

Chronic mouth breathing, especially during sleep, can affect facial development, lead to a dry mouth, and increase your risk of gum disease and cavities. It can also be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a serious condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts. Sleep apnea can lead to daytime fatigue, snoring, and a higher risk of other health issues like high blood pressure and heart disease.
