Understanding Sleep Apnea and Orthodontics

Sleep apnea occurs when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, leading to interrupted breathing and poor oxygen levels. In many cases, jaw position, dental arch development, and bite alignment contribute to airway obstruction.

Dr Nizar Ishaq offers orthodontic treatment options designed to support airway expansion, improve jaw positioning, and reduce sleep apnea symptoms—especially in mild to moderate cases.

Orthodontic Solutions for Sleep Apnea

Orthodontic treatment for sleep apnea may involve a range of customized approaches depending on the patient’s age and condition:

Jaw Alignment Appliances: Help reposition the jaw to maintain an open airway.
Dental Arch Expansion: Creates more space in the mouth and airway.
Functional Orthodontic Devices: Support proper jaw development in growing patients.
Adjunct Orthodontic Treatments: Used alongside medical sleep therapy when appropriate.

Each treatment plan is carefully tailored to address the underlying anatomical factors contributing to sleep apnea.

How Does Orthodontic Treatment Help Sleep Apnea?

Orthodontic treatment works by improving the structural relationship between the teeth, jaws, and airway. By guiding jaw position and expanding dental arches when necessary, airflow during sleep can improve significantly.

Regular monitoring by Dr Nizar Ishaq ensures treatment effectiveness and proper coordination with other healthcare providers when needed.
