Breathing Freely: Exploring Modern Airway Treatment Options

This page provides detailed, SEO-friendly information on airway treatment, highlighting its importance, assessment methods, treatment options, and the numerous benefits of addressing airway issues.
Airway Treatment and Management
Airway treatment involves evaluating and managing the airway to ensure it remains clear and functional. A compromised airway can lead to serious issues, including sleep apnea, mouth breathing, and facial development problems. Airway-focused orthodontics is a growing field that integrates dental alignment with functional breathing assessment. By prioritizing airway treatment, Dr. Abbasi and the team at Top Nova Orthodontics help patients achieve better health outcomes and enhance the effectiveness of their orthodontic care.

Understanding Airway Treatment Options and Strategies
Clinical Evaluation – Comprehensive examination of oral and facial structures.
Imaging Techniques – Advanced imaging, including X-rays and CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), to assess airway anatomy.
Sleep Studies – When necessary, we may recommend polysomnography or at-home sleep tests to detect breathing disturbances during sleep.
Orthodontic Appliances – Devices like expanders and retainers to improve airway space.
Functional Appliances – These support optimal jaw positioning and airway function.
Myofunctional Therapy – Exercises to retrain tongue and facial muscles (if applicable).
CPAP Therapy – For patients with sleep apnea, CPAP devices help maintain airway flow during sleep.
Surgical Interventions – In complex cases, surgical solutions may be recommended to correct anatomical airway obstructions.
Why Patients Need Airway Treatment
Improved Breathing – Proper airway management enhances the ability to breathe effectively, promoting overall health and well-being.
Enhanced Sleep Quality – Addressing airway concerns can lead to improved sleep patterns and reduced risk of sleep-related disorders, such as pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Optimal Facial Development – A clear airway contributes to healthy facial growth, significantly reducing orthodontic problems in the future.
Better Overall Health – An unobstructed airway is closely linked to improved cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and a higher quality of life.
Pediatric Airway Treatment and Care
At Top Nova Orthodontics, Dr. Abbasi takes a proactive approach to pediatric care—because early detection of airway issues can make all the difference in your child’s health, sleep, and development. Pediatric airway-focused orthodontics addresses how your child breathes, sleeps, and grows.
Many childhood issues like mouth breathing, snoring, chronic congestion, or restless sleep are signs of underlying airway problems. Left untreated, these can impact facial growth, dental development, behavior, and long-term health.

Frequently Asked Questions
An oropharyngeal airway (oral Airway, OPA) is an airway adjunct used to maintain or open the Airway by preventing the tongue from covering the epiglottis. In this position, the tongue can make it impossible for a person to breathe.
If the person is unresponsive and unconscious, you should check their Airway by opening their mouth and looking inside. If they have an apparent mouth, gently tilt their head to the back (lift their chin) and check breathing.
The two openings of the Airway (nasal and oral cavities) meet at the pharynx (pronounced FAR-inks), or throat, behind the nose and mouth. The throat is part of the digestive system as well as the respiratory system because it transports both food and air.
- Choking or gagging.
- Coughed violently and suddenly.
