What Is Airway Dentistry and How Does It Improve Breathing and Sleep?

Airway dentistry is a specialized area of dental care that evaluates how the structure of your jaw, palate, and bite affects your ability to breathe freely, especially during sleep. At Kinard Family Dental in Helotes, TX, airway dentistry is one of the practice's core specialties. Dr. Sarah Kinard, a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, has pursued advanced training to identify and treat the underlying structural causes of breathing issues, snoring, and sleep disordered breathing in patients of all ages throughout San Antonio, Boerne, and Leon Valley.

Common Symptoms of an Airway Problem in Helotes and San Antonio Patients

Many patients throughout Helotes, San Antonio, and Boerne do not realize their symptoms are connected to an airway problem. The most common signs include:
Snoring
Mouth breathing
Grinding
Jaw pain
Broken crowns
Brain fog
Head posture
Headaches
Face, Neck pain or Shoulder Pain
If you or your child experiences any of these symptoms, an airway evaluation at Kinard Family Dental can determine whether a structural cause is contributing to them.

Vivos Biomimetic Oral Appliances for Advanced Airway Treatment

Kinard Family Dental incorporates Vivos biomimetic oral appliances into airway treatment for both children and adults. These devices use the natural principles of bone remodeling to gradually expand the palate and improve airway dimensions without surgery. For children, Vivos treatment can guide jaw development and address airway obstructions early. For adults, it offers a non-surgical alternative that targets the structural root of breathing and sleep issues rather than simply managing symptoms. Results vary by patient, and treatment timelines are customized based on each individual's airway assessment.

How Our Helotes Airway Dentist Checks and Evaluates Your Airway

An airway evaluation at Kinard Family Dental begins with a thorough consultation covering your sleep habits, breathing patterns, and any related symptoms. Diagnostic tools include CBCT airway scans, which produce a detailed three-dimensional view of your airway, nasal passages, and jaw structure. This imaging allows Dr. Kinard to identify narrowing, obstructions, and structural issues that standard X-rays cannot detect. The evaluation also includes an intraoral exam and, when appropriate, coordination with local sleep medicine specialists for a complete diagnosis.
