At Sipes Dental in York, PA, we believe orthodontics is about more than just achieving straight teeth. Our unique approach focuses on the overall health and well-being of our patients by addressing underlying issues that impact oral health, airway function, and quality of life. Led by Dr. Bryan A. Sipes and Dr. Brian W. Benner, our team provides personalized orthodontic care tailored to create healthier individuals from the foundation up.
Our airway-focused orthodontic approach is designed to treat a variety of symptoms and conditions originating in the oral cavity. You or your child may benefit from treatment if you experience:
Traditional orthodontics often prioritizes the alignment of teeth without considering other critical factors, such as the tongue’s position, oral muscles, and airway health.
At Sipes Dental, we take an airway-focused approach, addressing the width and position of the upper and lower jaws to maximize oxygen intake through the nasal cavity. By prioritizing airway health, we can:
At Sipes Dental, we offer a range of orthodontic treatments to suit the needs of children, teens, and adults:
Traditional orthodontics utilizes metal or ceramic braces to gradually straighten teeth and correct bite issues. Unlike removable clear aligners, braces are securely fixed to the teeth, applying consistent pressure to guide them into optimal alignment. This time-tested method remains one of the most effective and dependable solutions for achieving a healthy, beautifully aligned smile.
Myofunctional therapy is a natural, non-invasive treatment that helps improve sleep, reduce tension, and relieve headaches and chronic fatigue without medication or surgery. Through targeted exercises, it enhances tongue mobility, coordination, and nasal breathing while restoring proper function of the tongue, lips, and face.
For those seeking a discreet orthodontic treatment option, clear aligners offer an effective alternative to braces. These nearly invisible trays gradually shift teeth into alignment without the need for brackets or wires. Clear aligners are ideal for adults and teens looking for a comfortable and removable orthodontic solution.
Myofunctional therapy focuses on correcting improper oral habits that affect breathing, swallowing, and overall dental health. It helps address issues such as tongue thrust, mouth breathing, and improper jaw development, which can lead to orthodontic concerns and sleep disorders. At Sipes Dental, we provide myofunctional therapy as a non-invasive approach to improving oral function and overall wellness.
At Sipes Dental, we provide a personalized and detailed orthodontic treatment plan to ensure optimal results. Here’s what you can expect:
At Sipes Dental, we recommend starting orthodontic evaluations as early as age 4. Using Myobrace, we can address poor oral habits, guide proper jaw and airway development, and help your child reach their full genetic growth potential. Early treatment prevents more severe orthodontic issues later in life.
Myobrace is a preventive orthodontic treatment system that focuses on optimizing facial, jaw, and airway development rather than just straightening teeth. It uses a combination of guides, expanders, and myofunctional therapy to address underlying causes of misalignment, such as mouth breathing and tongue thrusting. Unlike traditional braces, Myobrace is non-invasive and works to create long-term benefits for both oral and overall health.
Orthodontics at Sipes Dental is designed to expand and properly position the upper and lower jaws, creating more space for the tongue and widening the airway. This helps improve oxygen intake, reduces mouth breathing, and can lower the risk of conditions like sleep apnea and snoring.
Yes, our orthodontic treatments can address TMJ pain, chronic headaches, and other conditions linked to jaw misalignment and poor oral function.
