Stop Depriving Yourself of Sleep and Health!
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night & could not go back to sleep? Do you wake up multiple times to use the bathroom? Do you toss & turn at night? Do you wake up feeling tired & restless or rested & relaxed? Do you feel tired in the middle of the day? Do you generally feel fatigued? Do you notice your children are restless and not attentive? Does your child urinate in their bed at night while sleeping? Does your child suffer from fatigue, attention deficit disorder (ADD), or digestion issues? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this may be a sign to have your Airway evaluated by our team for airway orthodontic treatment.
Do You Have Airway Issues?
Answer these quick questions to see if you or your child might benefit from airway orthodontics:
-
Do you wake up feeling tired or restless?
-
Do you snore or grind your teeth at night?
-
Do you feel fatigued during the day?
-
Does your child have trouble focusing or show signs of ADD?
-
Does your child snore or wet the bed at night?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, it’s time to evaluate your airway health. An obstructed airway can affect anyone, from children to adults, and can have a significant impact on daily life.

An Orthodontic Team You Can Rely On
As we age & become older, our sleeping pattern changes once again. Specifically, the amount of time we spend in a deep sleep is significantly altered. We tend to sleep much lighter as we age, unfortunately. From mid to late-life people tend to awaken more throughout the night. Everyone has heard of getting their beauty rest and if you don’t sleep you can’t perform properly. With Alpan Orthodontics, we can restore your health and give you the sleep you desire.
It’s Easy to Schedule
If you are suffering from sleep related or airway issues you may need a 3D CBCT scan to screen or evaluate if there is some airway obstruction. If we see some obstruction we would then follow up with a take home sleep study or a scheduled sleep evaluation at a sleep center. If you are not feeling rested in the morning & you feel tired throughout your day, start to evaluate the quality of your sleep. When people have obstructive sleep apnea they will experience hypoxic (no breathing) events at night which completely stop their breathing for some period of time.
Dr. Alpan and associates want to help prevent health related problems by offering Airway Orthodontics as a solution to OSA and sleep related health problems. Set up your consultation online or call us at your convenience.

How Airway Orthodontics Works
At Alpan Orthodontics, our goal is to create a clear path for air to flow. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, including advanced 3D CBCT scans, to assess the size and shape of your airway and identify any obstructions.
Based on this analysis, Dr. Alpan will create a personalized treatment plan.
-
For Children: We focus on guiding proper growth and development by using expanders to widen the dental arches. This creates more space for the airway and helps prevent future breathing problems.
-
For Adults: We offer a range of solutions, from custom oral appliances that reposition the jaw during sleep to surgical options for more significant obstructions.
Our approach is designed to provide a comfortable, effective, and long-term solution to your airway concerns.
Health Problems Linked to Airway Issues
An obstructed airway isn’t just about snoring. It can be an early indicator of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and lead to serious health problems, including:
- Acid reflux
- Frequent nighttime urination
- Memory loss
- Stroke
- Depression
- Diabetes
- Heart attack
- Fatigue and attention issues (ADD/ADHD)
Recognizing these signs and seeking treatment is the first step toward better health. Dr. Alpan has been treating airway-related issues for over two decades and has seen incredible, life-changing improvements in his patients.
Why Choose Airway Orthodontics?
Airway orthodontics addresses the root causes of sleep and breathing issues by improving the size and function of the airway. This forward-thinking treatment can:
-
Improve Sleep Quality: By opening the airway, we can reduce snoring and sleep apnea, leading to more restful sleep and better energy during the day.
-
Prevent Long-Term Health Problems: Addressing airway issues can prevent serious health conditions like sleep apnea, fatigue, and even heart problems.
-
Support Healthy Development: In children, early intervention promotes proper facial growth, which can prevent more complex issues later in life.
-
Enhance Overall Well-being: Better sleep and breathing lead to improved focus, mood, and quality of life.
