End Your Daily Pain and Exhaustion by Solving the Root Cause of Your Restricted Airway

You’ve tried everything – from pain medication and night guards to changing doctors – but your chronic back pain, crippling headaches, and constant fatigue never truly go away. You feel like you're running out of hope, stuck in a cycle of pain and sleepless nights because your body is in survival mode. We understand. The real problem isn't just in your back or your head; it’s an underdeveloped jaw that’s restricting your airway and keeping your body from repairing itself during deep sleep.

Dr. Al at Innovative Smiles specializes in Airway Facial Epigenetics to gently grow your jaw, open your airway, and restore the deep, restorative sleep your body needs to finally heal.

Don't let your restricted airway disrupt your life. Contact us now to schedule an appointment with Dr. Al – the only epigenetic airway mouth doctor in Houston!

Don't Let Pain Rule Your Life Anymore

If you continue to ignore the oral and skeletal origin of your symptoms, the problems will only compound. You’ll keep suffering through daily, high-level pain that makes it hard to even walk around your house. Your body will remain in a constant state of “fight or flight,” preventing deep, restorative sleep. Ultimately, you risk a spiraling decline in health, where every day feels like a surrender to the pain instead of getting on with the rest of your life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Epigenetic Airway Treatment Houston, TX

What is epigenetic airway treatment?

Epigenetic airway treatment is a cutting-edge, non-surgical solution designed to address the root cause of snoring, sleep apnea, and TMJ disorders. This biomimetic therapy uses a custom-fitted oral appliance, often called a DNA appliance (Daytime-Nighttime Appliance), to stimulate your body’s natural genetic potential.

By gently expanding the upper jaw and midface, the treatment creates more space in your nasal passages and oral cavity. This permanently remodels and enlarges your airway, allowing for unobstructed breathing. Unlike treatments that only manage symptoms, our goal at Innovative Smiles is to provide a lasting correction that improves your breathing, sleep quality, and overall health.

You may be an ideal candidate for epigenetic airway treatment with Dr. Al if you experience issues related to a compromised or underdeveloped airway. This treatment is particularly effective for adults in the Houston area who suffer from:

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Especially for those who are CPAP intolerant or seek a more permanent solution.
  • Chronic Snoring: Loud or disruptive snoring that impacts you or your partner’s sleep.
  • TMJ / TMD Symptoms: Jaw pain, clicking, popping, grinding (bruxism), or frequent headaches and migraines.
  • Daytime Fatigue: Waking up feeling tired, even after a full eight hours of sleep.
  • Crowded or Crooked Teeth: A narrow palate is often the underlying cause of both dental crowding and airway issues.

While all three can be used to address related issues, their fundamental approach is very different.

  • Epigenetic Airway Treatment vs a CPAP Machine: A CPAP is a lifelong management tool that acts as an “airway splint,” forcing air past obstructions while you sleep. It is effective but does not correct the underlying anatomical problem. Our epigenetic airway treatment is a corrective therapy that aims to remodel your airway, potentially reducing or even eliminating the need for a CPAP machine altogether.
  • Epigenetic Airway Treatment vs Traditional Orthodontics: The primary goal of traditional orthodontics is to straighten teeth, sometimes by extracting teeth and pulling them back, which can inadvertently shrink the oral volume and worsen airway issues. Our epigenetic approach is airway-focused. We develop the jaw forward and outward to create more space, which not only opens the airway but also allows teeth to align naturally in a healthier, more stable position.

Your journey to better breathing at Innovative Smiles is a highly personalized and carefully monitored process:

  1. Comprehensive Airway Diagnosis: The process begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Al. Using advanced 3D CBCT imaging, he will perform a precise analysis of your craniofacial anatomy and airway volume to determine the root cause of your issues.
  2. Custom Appliance Design: Based on your unique diagnostics, a personalized oral appliance is designed specifically for you. It resembles a retainer and is comfortable enough to wear without disrupting your life.
  3. At-Home Therapy: You will wear your appliance primarily during the evening and while you sleep. The device applies gentle, targeted signals that encourage natural jaw and airway development over time.
  4. Progress Monitoring: You will have regular check-ins with Dr. Al at our Houston office. He will closely monitor your progress, make precise adjustments to the appliance, and ensure you are on track to achieve the best possible outcome.

Choosing the right provider is the most critical factor for success with this advanced therapy. Dr. Al is one of, if not the only, epigenetic airway mouth doctor in the greater Houston area with the specialized post-graduate training required to perform this treatment safely and effectively.

While other dentists may offer sleep appliances that simply manage symptoms, Dr. Al is dedicated to providing a true, root-cause solution. His deep understanding of airway physiology and craniofacial development ensures your treatment plan is not just about treating a symptom – it’s about transforming your health. When you choose Innovative Smiles, you are investing in unparalleled expertise and a genuine opportunity for a life-changing result.
