Who is an ideal candidate for this airway treatment?

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.

How does this treatment differ from CPAP or traditional orthodontics?

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Epigenetic Airway Treatment Houston, TX

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.
