Los Angeles, CA, September 10, 2025 — Leading Orthodontist Dr. David Alpan of Alpan Orthodontics is bringing attention to the critical connection between orthodontic treatment and airway health, demonstrating how comprehensive orthodontic care can significantly improve sleep quality and breathing patterns for patients across Los Angeles.
Dr. Alpan emphasizes that airway obstruction affects overall health in ways many patients don’t realize, from disrupted sleep patterns to daytime fatigue and concentration issues. Through both surgical and non-surgical orthodontic approaches, his practice addresses these underlying airway issues as part of their comprehensive treatment philosophy.
“The airway is directly connected to everything we do in orthodontics,” explains Dr. Alpan. “When we treat the smile, the bite, the face, the TMJ, and the airway together, we’re addressing the whole health picture, not just straight teeth.”
Alpan Orthodontics utilizes advanced 3D CBCT scanning technology to evaluate airway obstruction and follows up with sleep studies when necessary. This comprehensive approach allows the practice to identify breathing issues that may be contributing to sleep apnea, restless sleep, and other health complications.
Our practice offers specialized Airway Orthodontics as a solution to obstructive sleep apnea and sleep-related health problems. Dr. Alpan’s team works to prevent health-related issues in growing patients by expanding airways through orthodontic intervention, potentially reducing the need for more invasive surgical treatments as an adult.
Signs that patients may benefit from airway evaluation include frequent nighttime awakening, daytime fatigue, restless sleep, and, for children, bedwetting and attention difficulties. Dr. Alpan notes that these symptoms often improve significantly when airway issues are properly addressed through orthodontic airway treatment.
