Enhance your journey at O2dontics with supportive treatments that ensure comprehensive health beyond your teeth.
The Importance of Supportive Treatments & Therapies
In our holistic approach to orthodontics that supports your breathing, we recognize that achieving optimal health involves more than just treating the teeth. Supportive treatments and therapies play a crucial role in the success of primary treatments, addressing underlying issues that affect the mouth, airway, and body. By integrating services like myofunctional therapy, and sleep apnea management, we ensure a comprehensive care plan that supports overall well-being and enhances treatment outcomes.
Benefits of Supportive Treatments
Enhanced Treatment Outcomes
Supportive therapies can significantly improve the effectiveness of primary dental treatments, leading to faster recovery times and longer-lasting results.
Improved Overall Health
By addressing factors like sleep quality, nutrition, and muscle function, these treatments contribute to better systemic health and quality of life.
Prevention of Future Issues
Integrative care helps in identifying and treating potential health concerns early, reducing the risk of future dental and medical complications.
Types of Supportive Treatments & Therapies
We offer a range of supportive treatments and therapies, working in collaboration with specialists to ensure our patients receive comprehensive, integrated care tailored to their unique needs.
Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional Therapy
Our in-house myofunctional therapist works directly with you to retrain improper muscle patterns that affect your breathing, swallowing, and oral posture. These specialized exercises strengthen and reprogram the muscles of your face, mouth, and throat—critical for maintaining long-term results from your orthodontic and airway treatments. Rather than treating just your teeth, we ensure the surrounding muscular system supports your overall progress.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of the craniosacral system. We refer our patients to skilled chiropractors, osteopaths, and massage therapists as part of their treatment plan. It supports the body's natural healing processes, complements dental treatments, and is instrumental in addressing TMJ disorders, stress, and tension-related issues.
Comprehensive Whole-Body Treatment
Comprehensive Whole-Body Treatment
Comprehensive Whole-Body Treatment
At O2dontics, we believe that true orthodontic and airway health extends beyond just the teeth. As part of your personalized treatment plan, we evaluate important factors like diet, lifestyle habits, breathing patterns, and posture. When needed, we collaborate with trusted practitioners — including myofunctional therapists, chiropractors, ENTs, functional medicine doctors, and nutritionists — to address underlying issues that could impact your long-term results. By supporting the whole body, we help ensure your treatment is more stable, effective, and transformative.
SOT Chiropractic
SOT Chiropractic
SOT Chiropractic
Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) chiropractic care focuses on restoring balance between the spine, pelvis, and cranium to support optimal nervous system function. By gently realigning these structures and addressing tension in the fascia, SOT can help relieve symptoms related to TMJ dysfunction, sleep apnea, headaches, and postural imbalances. This technique plays a key role in helping patients shift out of chronic stress states and into healing—supporting better breathing, sleep, and overall wellness.
Naturopathic Care
Naturopathic Care
Naturopathic Care
Naturopathic care can play an important role in supporting airway health, oral development, and overall healing. Through a whole-body approach, we evaluate underlying factors such as inflammation, nutrition, gut health, hormone balance, immune function, and environmental exposures that may contribute to issues like chronic nasal congestion, enlarged tonsils or adenoids, mouth breathing, poor sleep, and developmental concerns. Hormones and metabolic health can also influence growth patterns, sleep quality, and nervous system regulation. By addressing these root contributors with personalized lifestyle, nutritional, and wellness strategies, naturopathic care supports the body’s natural ability to heal and regulate. When integrated with dental, orthodontic, and airway therapies, this approach helps improve treatment outcomes and supports long-term health and development.
VagusLase & SilentEar
VagusLase & SilentEar
VagusLase & SilentEar
At O2dontics, we use advanced Fotona laser technology to support nervous system balance and auditory health through two innovative therapies: VagusLase and Silent Ear. VagusLase is designed to stimulate and support the vagus nerve—an important regulator of the body’s parasympathetic nervous system that influences breathing patterns, inflammation, digestion, and stress response. By helping improve vagal tone, this therapy may support better nervous system regulation, airway function, and overall well-being. Silent Ear is a specialized laser therapy used to help patients experiencing tinnitus (ringing in the ears). By delivering gentle, targeted light energy to tissues associated with the auditory system, Silent Ear aims to improve circulation, support nerve health, and reduce symptoms. Both therapies are non-invasive, comfortable treatments that can be used on their own or integrated into a comprehensive care plan to support nervous system and sensory health.
NaseLase Therapy
NaseLase Therapy
NaseLase Therapy
NaseLase is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to improve nasal breathing by addressing structural and inflammatory causes of nasal obstruction, including enlarged turbinates and nasal valve collapse. Using advanced Fotona laser technology, NaseLase gently stimulates tissue remodeling and tightening within the nasal passages, helping to reduce turbinate swelling and support the stability of the nasal valve area. By improving airflow through the nose, this treatment can make breathing easier both during the day and at night. NaseLase is a quick, comfortable procedure that can be performed in the office and may be used alone or as part of a comprehensive airway treatment plan to support healthy nasal function.
FAQs
Have questions? We have answers.
How can myofunctional therapy improve my dental treatment outcomes?
Myofunctional therapy can significantly enhance the stability and success of dental treatments by correcting dysfunctional swallowing and breathing patterns, leading to improved alignment and reduced strain on the teeth and jaws.
What are the benefits of including craniosacral therapy and SOT chiropractic in my treatment plan?
At O2dontics, we often recommend incorporating craniosacral therapy—especially SOT (Sacro-Occipital Technique) chiropractic care—as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for orthodontics, TMJ disorders, and airway-related concerns. This gentle, hands-on approach helps release tension in the cranial bones and facial muscles, creating better balance in the head, neck, and spine. By improving cranial rhythm and nervous system flow, craniosacral therapy can enhance jaw alignment, reduce TMJ pain and headaches, and support more stable, effective orthodontic outcomes. For airway patients, this type of cranial work can also help optimize breathing by encouraging better tongue posture and function. It’s a subtle but powerful way to help the body work with treatment—not against it.
How is O2dontics different from a traditional orthodontic practice?
Unlike conventional orthodontic practices that focus solely on teeth alignment, O2dontics takes a whole-body approach. We integrate dental expertise with chiropractic care and myofunctional therapy all under one roof. This allows us to address not just the position of your teeth, but also your jaw alignment, airway function, muscle patterns, and structural balance as interconnected systems affecting your overall health.

Why would a naturopathic evaluation be part of dental or airway treatment?
Many issues related to breathing, facial development, and sleep are influenced by whole-body health. Factors such as chronic inflammation, gut health, nutrition, hormone balance, immune function, and environmental exposures can affect nasal congestion, enlarged tonsils and adenoids, mouth breathing, and sleep quality. A naturopathic evaluation helps identify these underlying contributors so they can be addressed alongside dental, orthodontic, and airway treatments. By supporting the body’s overall balance and reducing inflammation, this integrative approach often improves treatment outcomes and helps create more stable, long-term results.
