Airway Dentistry

Breathe better. Sleep better. Live better.

Airway dentistry focuses on the structure of the mouth and how it impacts your breathing. By using an airway centered approach we can identify the underlying structural causes of a sleep or airway issue and resolve symptoms.

Root cause care

Why the airway comes first

How you breathe shapes how you sleep, grow, focus and feel. Dr. Jafari pursued extensive post graduate training in airway dentistry and the mouth-body connection, and built this practice to treat causes, not just symptoms.

Airway & Jaw Development Consultations

We assess and address issues related to airway function and jaw development, with tailored recommendations to enhance your overall wellbeing and oral health.

Home Sleep Studies

Monitor your sleep patterns and identify potential sleep disorders from the comfort of your own home. Our comprehensive analysis facilitates targeted treatment plans.

CO2 Laser Soft Palate Tightening

Non-ablative laser energy stimulates collagen production to firm and tone the soft palate, improving snoring and sleep quality without surgery.

Clear Aligner Therapy for Adults

Transparent, removable aligners straighten teeth discreetly while keeping the impact on your airway front and center.

Biobloc Expansion (Starting Age 3)

Early intervention that guides proper jaw development, promotes facial symmetry and addresses potential airway issues before they take hold.

Orthotropics

An orthodontic philosophy that emphasizes natural facial development and the relationship between oral posture and overall health.

"We have a great appreciation for Dr. Jafari and her team. We've been visiting for about two years, starting with expanders and then having a lip tie release. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly kind and attentive."
