Can Orthodontics Cause/Cure OSA and Airway Related Breathing Disorders?

Dr. William Hang

December 5th 2018

Most “modern” orthodontic techniques are still retractive in nature. They can (unintentionally) decrease the size of the airway which may have a negative impact on patient health/sleep.

During this webinar Dr Hang will share orthodontic techniques that protect and, in many cases, enlarge the airway (which can eliminate snoring and OSA). He will also describe common orthodontic techniques which often decrease the airway and should be avoided.

What you will learn:
• What is non-retractive orthodontics and how can it have a positive impact on patient well-being & sleep?
• How airway health affects craniofacial pain and what to do about it.
• Why you can’t expand your way out of an anterior/posterior problem.
• How understanding non-retractive orthodontic techniques benefits the general/restorative/sleep dental practice.
