Airway Treatments in New Braunfels
A Savage Smile Breathes Easy
At Savage Orthodontics, Dr. Jackson Savage believes a smile should be more than just straight teeth — it should support whole-body health. That’s why we look beyond appearances to consider how the teeth, jaws, and airway all work together, for patients of every age.
Why Breathing Matters
Many people are surprised to learn that orthodontics can actually play a role in how well you breathe, sleep, and feel each day. With every consultation, Dr. Savage evaluates the airway to ensure your smile isn’t just beautiful — it’s healthy from the inside out.
The way you breathe affects sleep, energy, mood, and even performance at school or work.
Breathing through the nose instead of the mouth is especially important. Nasal breathing filters and humidifies the air, supports better oxygen delivery, and encourages healthier facial and jaw development.
But when the jaws or arches are too narrow, the airway can be constricted, making it harder to breathe properly. Dr. Savage’s goal is to help every patient not only look their best, but also feel their best.
The Benefits of Better Breathing
Families often notice that once patients can breathe more freely, they enjoy:
- Deeper, more restful sleep
- Better focus and performance in school or at work
- Improved mood, behavior, and emotional well-being
- More energy throughout the day
- Stronger overall health and immunity
- Greater confidence from looking and feeling their best
How We Help
At Savage Orthodontics, we specialize in treatments that don’t just move teeth — they can also create space for better breathing. Whether you’re a parent concerned about your child’s growth or an adult dealing with fatigue, sleep issues, or mouth breathing, we have solutions that work.
Orthopedic Expansion
One of our most effective tools is orthopedic expansion, which gently widens the upper jaw to increase nasal airway volume. Expansion is especially powerful for growing children, but thanks to today’s technology, it can be just as useful for our teen and adult patients!
Unlike treatments that simply tip teeth outward, orthopedic expansion reshapes the jaw itself for lasting improvements in breathing and function.
Aligners & Braces with Airway in Mind
Dr. Savage also designs braces and aligner treatments that support airway health. Every Savage Smile is crafted with balance, function, and wellness in mind — so the results go far beyond appearance.
The Savage Smile Promise
Every patient is unique, and there’s no “one size fits all” solution. At Savage Orthodontics, Dr. Savage and his team take the time to evaluate your needs and explain the best treatment options for your smile, your airway, and your health.
A Savage Smile is healthy, beautiful, and transformative — and for many families, that transformation begins with better breathing.
