Inner Smiles Orthodontics
A common misconception of orthodontic treatment is that it treats a problem that is primarily aesthetic. Without question, the confidence that comes from straight teeth and a beautiful smile can benefit you throughout your life. Orthodontics is about more than looks, however. When a child’s facial structures are guided properly, there can be lasting positive effects on the way they breathe. As an orthodontist experienced in specialty and Airway-Centric Orthodontics in Colorado Springs, Dr. Bentele strives to provide orthodontic treatment that does more than straighten teeth – he seeks to provide your child with a lifetime of healthy breathing.
You already know breathing is important, of course. It’s a fundamental function of life! What many people don’t recognize, however, is the wide spectrum between the states of “breathing” and “not breathing.” It is possible to breathe in a way that optimally benefits your overall health. On the other hand, it is also possible to breathe in a way that forces your body to compensate for limited oxygen levels.
If your child regularly struggles to achieve proper oxygen levels, especially while sleeping, numerous long-lasting health and development problems can result.
If you or your child demonstrates any of the following symptoms, then we recommend an evaluation with Dr. Bentele:

If Dr. Bentele identifies any issues that could be helped with orthodontic treatment, he will discuss his recommendations with you during your initial consultation.
