Sleep Disorder Orthotics in Noblesville, Indiana (near Carmel and Fishers)

Orthodontic solutions may be considered when sleep shortages are keeping you from being productive during the day.

Because your jaw growth is a gradual process, your upper and lower jaws may develop at different rates. This may directly affect your breathing and in turn, contribute to your sleep loss. Aside from a mismatched jaw due to conflicting growth rates, the positioning could have also been affected by an injury or it could have been a birth defect – gone undetected. Additionally, a deep overbite or buck teeth can be an indicator of a sleep apnea problem.

You may potentially benefit from orthodontic treatment through the re-positioning and re-alignment of your jaw. This is usually achieved by expanding the upper and lower jaw and ultimately widening your breathing airway.
