Bill's Recommendation
“The staff is very friendly, yet professional,” Bill says, describing our team. “Somehow you feel like you’ve known them a long time.” As a patient who has always been sensitive to putty impressions, our digital imaging technology has been a real game-changer. “Whether you have a fear of the dentist or not, you know that what you get is going to be done right and they’ll do it in a way that’s actually a pleasant experience.”
Improve Your Airway Health & Well-Being
Most people don’t realize that airway issues and bite misalignment often go hand in hand. When your airway is restricted, especially during sleep, your body may unconsciously shift your jaw to open the airway. This can lead to clenching, grinding, and poor bite alignment, which then causes a cascade of other symptoms.
Common Signs of Airway-Related Bite Issues
If you’re experiencing any of the following, your airway may be contributing to your dental or health concerns:
- Teeth grinding or clenching, especially at night
- Jaw pain, soreness, or clicking
- Frequent headaches or migraines
- Worn, flattened, or chipped teeth
- Gum recession without a clear cause
- Chronic fatigue or poor sleep quality
These symptoms are not isolated, and they often share a root cause. Our cosmetic dentist in Epping, NH, looks at the full picture of your airway, bite, and muscle function to identify where the imbalance starts and how to restore lasting relief.
“Dr. Johnson is exactly the kind of professional you want to work with: one who stays on top of the latest developments in her field. Definitely recommend them. Do yourself the favor and take their recommendations for your own dental self care. You won't regret the extra effort.” — Austin, 5-Star Review
Advanced Diagnostics and Targeted Treatment
At Brentwood Dental Designs, we use advanced technology to uncover the true causes of airway dysfunction and bite imbalance. These tools allow us to diagnose with accuracy, personalize your care, and treat you with less guesswork and more confidence.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) gives us detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and airway structures. This helps us detect airway obstructions, sinus issues, and jaw joint imbalances that may be missed on standard X-rays.
TekScan technology measures the timing, pressure, and balance of your bite in real time. It shows how your teeth come together with every movement, helping us identify clenching patterns or imbalances that contribute to TMJ pain, tooth wear, and breathing strain.
Put Your Health First
Chronic airway or bite problems can take a real toll. Our team takes the time to listen, explain your options clearly, and guide you through each step with care and clarity.
Every plan is tailored to your unique anatomy, symptoms, and goals. Whether you need bite adjustment, myofunctional support, or collaboration with airway specialists, we focus on therapies that promote healing without toxic materials or unnecessary interventions.
Treatment Options
That Support Natural Healing
Once we’ve identified the root cause of your airway and bite issues, treatment is designed to restore health and balance, not just relieve symptoms. Dr. Johnson’s approach is integrative, minimally invasive, and tailored to your body’s unique needs.
Myoaligner Therapy
For patients with TMJ dysfunction, airway collapse, or clenching, Myoaligner® offers a gentle, drug-free path to relief. These custom-fit devices guide your jaw into a healthier position, improving airflow, reducing tension, and supporting long-term bite stability.
Bite and Occlusal Therapy
Using TekScan-guided data, we can make micro-adjustments to the way your teeth meet, easing muscle strain and joint stress. This could include anything from enamel reshaping or dental crowns to realigning the teeth. In many cases, these refinements reduce grinding, jaw pain, and sleep disturbances without the need for major dental work.
Airway-Supportive Care
If airway restriction is part of the problem, we may recommend therapy to expand or stabilize your breathing space. This could include myofunctional exercises, orthodontic collaboration, or lifestyle-based strategies that support better nighttime breathing.
