About the Condition
What Is Orthodontic Sleep Apnoea?
Muscle and neurological issues are not the only things that can cause sleep apnoea. Certain orthodontic issues can play a huge role as well. Tooth or jaw misalignment, a narrow palate, or similar issues can cause this sleep disorder.
When your sleep apnoea is caused by an oral or jaw matter, your orthodontist can be the answer you are looking for to help relieve symptoms.

The Solution
How Can Orthodontics Help?
Orthodontic Causes of Sleep Apnoea
Jaw Misalignment
Misaligned jaws can narrow the airway during sleep, causing breathing interruptions and poor sleep quality.
Narrow Palate
A narrow palate reduces airway space. Orthodontic expansion can widen the palate and open the airway significantly.
Bite Malocclusion
Certain bite configurations affect jaw position and airway formation — correctable through targeted orthodontic treatment.
What Treatment Will Dr. Hakim Recommend?
Dr. Hakim will determine the best orthodontic treatment for your sleep apnoea and can fit you with a device most suitable for your exact issue, always focused on long-term airway health, jaw alignment, and overall wellbeing.
