Sleep apnea is a common disorder in which you have one or more pauses in breathing, and as many as 20-30 times per hour while you sleep. If you suffer from sleep apnea, each time your breathing stops, the resulting lack of oxygen alerts your brain, which temporarily wakes you up to restart proper breathing.

Metal brackets are the most popular and ideal for everyone because they are very strong and can withstand most types of treatment. Most traditional metal braces require an elastic o-shaped rubber band or metal tie wire to hold the arch wire onto the bracket.

Sleep apnea is a common disorder in which you have one or more pauses in breathing, and as many as 20-30 times per hour while you sleep. If you suffer from sleep apnea, each time your breathing stops, the resulting lack of oxygen alerts your brain, which temporarily wakes you up to restart proper breathing. As a result, the quality of your sleep is poor, which makes you tired during the day. Sleep apnea is a leading cause of excessive daytime sleepiness.

You wear each set of clear aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Yoon has prescribed.

Some orthodontic conditions are simply easier to correct if they’re corrected early. In addition, knowing whether your child might need corrective dental work can offer a peace of mind. Interceptive orthodontic treatment is all about preventing more severe problems that may occur in the future. It provides an opportunity for the orthodontist to have control over where the permanent teeth come in by addressing the structure of the jaw and teeth while the primary teeth are still in the mouth. By age seven, your child’s mouth has grown with enough sound structure to predict how it will develop as the permanent teeth start to emerge.
