Airway Treatment Modalities in NYC
Our approach is not one-size-fits-all. We utilize advanced 3D CBCT imaging to evaluate your unique anatomy and offer target-driven modalities:
NightLase® Therapy for Snoring & Sleep Apnea
NightLase® is a gentle, non-surgical laser treatment that tightens throat and soft palate tissues to reduce airway collapse with zero downtime.
Palatal Expansion (MARPE)
Miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) anchors directly to the palate bone to broaden upper jaw width, improving dental arch room and nasal airflow.
Maxillary Skeletal Expansion (MSE)
MSE targets the midpalatal suture directly using bicortical micro-implants, delivering true parallel skeletal jaw expansion for adults without surgery.
Custom Sleep Apnea Devices
For adults struggling with CPAP machines, custom oral appliances reposition the jaw and tongue forward to keep the airway clear and silent all night.
Diagnostic Sleep Studies (In-Lab & Home)
Comprehensive diagnostic assessments (Polysomnography or convenient Home Sleep Apnea Tests) that evaluate oxygen levels and respiratory effort.
Gentle Laser Tongue & Lip Tie Release
Functional dentist Dr. Nina Izhaky performs gentle laser frenectomies in NYC to release tongue and lip restrictions safely for infants, kids, and adults.
Airway-Focused Care for Children & Adults
Pediatric Early Airway Intervention
In children, early intervention guides jaw development, expands arches, establishes nasal breathing, and prevents chronic sleep or behavioral issues.
Adult Airway & Sleep Optimization
In adults, care focuses on reducing snoring, managing mild-to-moderate sleep apnea, opening nasal passages, and relieving TMJ tension.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is airway orthodontics only for children?
No. While early guidance in children yields optimal lifelong results, adults see massive benefits, particularly for sleep apnea, TMJ strain, and chronic snoring.
Can a dentist really help with sleep apnea?
Absolutely. Dentists are uniquely positioned to evaluate oral structures and provide custom oral appliance therapy—an effective, comfortable alternative to CPAP.
How long does airway treatment take?
Timelines depend on the modality. NightLase® laser therapy yields results in just a few weeks, whereas palatal expansion or orthodontic remodelling takes several months.
Will airway orthodontics change how I look?
In children, guiding jaw growth creates a fuller, healthier facial structure. In adults, widening a constricted upper jaw subtly enhances middle-face harmony.
