Adult Airway

At Cascade Dental Care, we are committed to helping patients breathe and sleep better. Some common signs of a compromised airway include:

  • Snoring

  • Mouth breathing

  • Teeth grinding

  • Restless sleep

  • Daytime drowsiness

  • Morning headaches

  • Jaw pain

Modern, softer diets provide less stimulation for the jaw muscles and bones during critical developmental years. Additionally, those with tongue or lip ties can be prone to underdeveloped jaws, as restricted movement may affect oral posture and muscle function. Together, these factors can lead to underdeveloped jaws and narrow dental arches, resulting in:

  • High palates

  • Limited tongue space

  • Restricted airways

We address these concerns in adults by promoting growth and development of the dental arches using:

This approach helps create the proper foundation for the mouth, supporting optimal function and airflow.

By treating the underlying causes of airway issues—not just the symptoms—we help both patients achieve:

  • Better health

  • Improved breathing

  • Higher quality of life
