DENTAL specialists in the kingdom are providing expertise in putting on a winning smile and making a successful first impression.
While dental issues could contribute to frowns they now boast of procedures that can give more reasons to smile.
Dentists at the Dr Fadel Al Alawi Clinic believe that temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort, and facial pain are related to teeth and jaw. These could in turn contribute to Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), a common chronic disease in industrialised countries.
A common link between headaches, TMJ, facial pain and OSA is very often reduced tongue space, which upsets the balance of the facial muscles.
The patient's breathing is limited and the muscles are stressed because there is no room to posture the tongue comfortably at rest. Among the treatment modalities used are broadening the dental arches.
Call the clinic on 17580058 to get answers to all your orthodontic queries.
