Our treatment can reduce, minimize or treat sleep apnea
- Widens Nasal Passages: Expanding the hard palate widens the floor of the nose, making it easier to breathe through the nose instead of the mouth.
- Relieves Tongue Crowding: A wider upper arch provides more room in the mouth, preventing the tongue from falling backward into the pharynx during sleep.
- Lowers AHI: Studies show that maxillary expansion can significantly reduce the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI)—which measures the severity of breathing pauses—in appropriately selected patients.
