Straight teeth aren’t the whole story.
Orthodontics has long prioritized looks over function—but jaw position and where those teeth are sitting can make all the difference for breathing and long-term health.

Straight teeth don’t necessarily mean a healthy airway.

Let’s talk about why:

1) Straight teeth do not equal healthy airway: you might still have misalignment when it comes to your overall skeletal structure.

2) Tongue posture matters: A low or improperly positioned tongue can restrict your airway and affect jaw development.

3) Extractions may reduce airway volume: pulling teeth to “make room” can actually cause the opposite effect.

Orthodontics often overlook airway issues because traditional training and treatment goals have historically focused on straightening teeth and aligning bites, not on breathing or airway health 🦷

We talk a lot about nasal breathing, but here is why it’s so crucial.

Nasal breathing not only impacts the air we breathe, but also forms and shapes the palate, which in turn impacts the growth and development of one’s face and airway.
