Airway Orthodontics & Orthopedics: Beyond Straight Teeth

At Prana Integrative Dental Wellness, orthodontics goes beyond creating a perfect smile—it’s about enhancing your health. We focus on improving how you breathe, sleep, and thrive every day.

Our Approach is Different: Breathing Comes First

Traditional orthodontics often pushes and pulls teeth into alignment without considering the airway.

We expand the palate and jaw to create space for the tongue and improve airflow, promoting nasal breathing—the key to better sleep, energy, and overall health.

This method reduces risks of snoring, sleep apnea, and other airway-related issues while improving quality of life.
