Airway/Growth Focused Orthodontics Crows Nest
Airway Focused Orthodontics Crows Nest
Airway focused orthodontics is a type of dentistry that uses a philosophical approach to the way our teeth develop throughout childhood. By helping to create the structure and shape of a child’s jaw from an early age, the way they naturally grow can be adapted and shaped advantageously.
At Oralux Dental, we believe that using an airway-focused approach instead of old school orthodontics means we can help children achieve better facial/jaw bone growth, oral function, and teeth alignment. By addressing these potential concerns early on, we can ensure a healthier future for our children and avoid issues arising from poor facial growth and development.

Oralux Dental considers this to be a high priority, which is why we ensure we don’t only treat our client’s dental needs, we also identify and fix any issues related to their airways that may have been overlooked or ignored altogether.
