Did you know that over 100 million people worldwide suffer from sleep apnea? Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder where the person suffering from it will repeatedly stop and start breathing while they sleep. This results in a very poor night’s sleep, which can leave the affected person feeling tired and groggy throughout the day.

The Connection Between Sleep Apnea and Orthodontics

Because orthodontists are experts in facial growth and development, it puts them in a unique position to be able to treat sleep apnea, and specifically, obtrusive sleep apnea. Using a variety of techniques, Dr. Brown can help you or your child get a better night’s sleep, resulting in a more productive day.

Using modern orthodontic technology, Dr. Brown can widen the upper jaw or arch, resulting in an improvement of breathing while sleeping. This can also help teeth grinding, clenching, or other habits associated with obtrusive sleep apnea.
