Airway Dentistry in Moorestown, NJ
Orthodontics That Support Whole-Body Health
At Airily Orthodontics, we believe great orthodontic care goes beyond straight teeth. Led by Dr. Juliana Zoga Demergis our approach is centered on identifying and addressing the root causes of dental and skeletal imbalances that may be affecting breathing, sleep, and overall health. From early childhood to adulthood, we use advanced imaging and diagnostics to create personalized treatment plans that support long-term wellness, not just cosmetic changes.
Why Airway Dentistry Matters
Issues like mouth breathing, chronic fatigue, poor sleep, and narrow jaw development often stem from deeper structural concerns. Our goal is to help patients—especially children—achieve better health by:
- Improving nasal breathing and airflow
- Promoting proper jaw and facial development
- Evaluating for conditions like Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS)
- Assessing for sleep-disordered breathing and sleep apnea
- Identifying tongue and lip ties that may interfere with normal function
- Expanding the space needed for proper tongue posture
- Reducing or eliminating mouth breathing habits
By understanding and correcting these root causes early, we help set the stage for a healthier future.
We proudly serve families throughout Moorestown, Delran, Mt. Holly, Maple Shade, Hainesport, and the greater South Jersey region.
Airway-Focused Services at Airily Orthodontics
Our airway dentistry services are built around functional improvement—ensuring that each treatment contributes to healthier breathing, sleep, and growth.
Sleep Apnea & Sleep-Disordered Breathing Assessments
We evaluate structural contributors to obstructive sleep apnea and UARS, such as a narrow palate, retruded jaw, or restricted tongue space. Using digital imaging and interdisciplinary collaboration, we offer long-term, non-surgical treatment options that address the problem at its source.
- Guided arch expansion
- Custom appliances to improve jaw position
- 3D Imaging (CBCT) to evaluate the upper airway
- Referrals to sleep specialists for co-managed care
Frequently Asked Questions
What is airway-focused orthodontics?
It’s an approach that evaluates how jaw, palate, and facial development affect breathing and sleep. It looks beyond the alignment of teeth to assess structural function and health.
How can I tell if my child may have airway or breathing issues?
Common signs include mouth breathing, frequent snoring, dark under-eye circles, speech delays, fatigue, and difficulty focusing. An early evaluation can help identify and address underlying causes.
Is this type of treatment only for children?
Not at all. Adults can also benefit from airway-focused evaluations, particularly if they’ve had lifelong bite issues, poor sleep, or symptoms of sleep apnea.
How does orthodontic treatment help with breathing or sleep?
By widening the arches, correcting jaw position, and expanding the space for nasal airflow and tongue posture, orthodontic treatments can significantly reduce airway resistance and improve breathing during sleep.
Will insurance cover this type of care?
Some plans offer coverage if the treatment is deemed medically necessary. Our team will help verify your benefits and explain your options. Visit our Patient Info page for more details.
