Individual Orthodontics & Airway-Focused Braces
Precision Alignment. Healthier Breathing. Better Long-Term Results.
Orthodontics has evolved. Today, it’s not just about straightening teeth — it’s about supporting proper breathing, balanced facial development, and long-term stability. Individual Orthodontics and Progressive Orthodontics go far beyond traditional braces by customizing the treatment plan for each tooth, improving accuracy and shortening treatment time. When you add airway-focused planning, the results benefit not only the smile but also the patient’s overall health.
What Is Individual Orthodontics?
Individual Orthodontics uses a fully customized prescription for each tooth, unlike traditional braces that rely on generic prescriptions meant to work “for most people.” Your teeth and jaw are unique, and your treatment plan should reflect that.
With Individual Orthodontics, you get:
What Makes Progressive Orthodontics Different?
Progressive Orthodontics uses advanced techniques, better biomechanics, and modern imaging to deliver long-term, stable results. It prioritizes:
This ensures your smile isn’t just straight — it’s functionally balanced and healthier long-term.
Airway-Focused Individual Prescription Braces
Airway-focused orthodontics looks beyond teeth. It evaluates how breathing, tongue posture, and jaw position interact — especially during sleep. A narrow jaw, recessed chin, or crowded teeth can reduce airflow, contributing to snoring, mouth breathing, and sleep-disordered breathing.
Benefits of Airway-Focused Orthodontics:
This approach treats the smile and the airway at the same time — leading to healthier long-term outcomes.
Who Benefits From These Treatments?
Children
Early treatment helps guide proper facial and jaw development, reduces future extractions, and improves airway function.
Teens
Helps correct crowding, bite issues, posture problems, and breathing dysfunction during key growth years.
Adults
Excellent for relapse cases, breathing issues, jaw pain, TMJ disorders, and patients who want predictable results with a customized approach.
Signs That an Airway-Focused Approach May Help
If several of these sound familiar, an airway evaluation is highly recommended.
What to Expect During Treatment
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
We examine breathing, airway structure, bite, facial development, and tooth position using modern imaging.
2. Customized Prescription Plan
Each tooth receives its own customized bracket prescription for precise, controlled movement.
3. Airway Integration
We evaluate tongue posture, jaw position, and airway health before designing the treatment plan.
4. Progressive Mechanics
We use efficient, modern orthodontic systems designed to reduce friction and shorten treatment time.
5. Regular Monitoring

Every bracket is custom-prescribed for each tooth — not a generic “one-size-fits-all” system.
Not always. Expansion is only one tool; the full approach is much broader.
Usually yes. Customized tooth movement often shortens treatment time.
Patients typically report less discomfort because forces are lighter and more controlled.
It’s not required, but it pairs exceptionally well with airway-focused orthodontics.
Absolutely — and many adults see improvements in sleep and breathing as well.
