Comprehensive Airway-Focused Orthodontic Care
Airway Orthodontics in Sacramento provides treatments designed to optimize breathing, jaw development, and overall oral health. Unlike traditional orthodontics, which focuses only on straightening teeth, our approach aims to enhance airway function, improve facial structure, and support long-term wellness. Whether treating children or adults, we create personalized plans to address airway issues, sleep disorders, and jaw misalignment for lasting results.
Airway-Focused Orthodontics for Children
Early treatment helps guide jaw development, improve nasal breathing, and create space for natural alignment, reducing future orthodontic issues.
Airway-Focused Orthodontics for Adults
Addressing airway concerns in adults improves breathing, sleep quality, and overall well-being while correcting jaw and bite issues.
Skeletal Expansion Treatments
Jaw expansion creates more space for proper breathing, enhances facial balance, and prevents airway obstruction.
Facial Development
Proper jaw and airway growth ensure balanced facial proportions, healthy breathing, and improved long-term oral function.
Airway Health
Our treatments optimize nasal breathing, tongue posture, and jaw alignment to support a clear, open airway.

Dr. Adair and his staff have been wonderful to work with. My oldest two started Airway focused orthodontics in his practice to help fix their horrible overbites. When every other orthodontist was telling us my children were not treatable with the severity of the overbites, Dr. Adair was confident that his approach would correct it without any potential surgeries. Halfway through their treatment, we moved out of state, but I decided to continue their treatment with Dr. Adair because I believe that what he is doing is the best option for my children. His office staff are delightful and always helpful in accommodating our schedule. Dr. Adair is committed to the success of the treatment plan even if that means meeting us at his office at 9pm at night to fix a broken retainer (yes, that did happen to us once). I believe so much in his approach to airway health that I had Dr. Adair start airway orthodontic treatment for my third child at 3 years old even after we moved out of state. I have seen an improvement in all three of my children’s overall health by just having Dr. Adair address their airway issues. Overall, I highly recommend him, and I believe that his unique approach to helping my children’s airway and treatments are worth the cost and commitment.

We visited several orthodontists and airway-focused dentists before finding Dr. Adair, and the difference was clear from our first consultation. His experience, confidence, and depth of understanding immediately stood out. We also appreciated that our boys weren’t placed into a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. Dr. Adair took the time to see them as individuals and created personalized plans. Even though we drive over two hours (one way) for each visit, it’s worth it. Dr. Adair and his staff are excellent with kids, and we couldn’t be more thankful for the care they provide. We highly recommend Dr. Adair and his team.

I could not be happier with our decision to choose Dr Adair for this process for my son. He had been coughing chronically for years, and we were unable to pinpoint why or where it was stemming from. Other doctors did not help, and his dentist believed he primarily needed orthodontics for aesthetic reasons. Dr Adair explained things so succinctly and scientifically, and really gave me faith that the reason for my son’s health issue with the deep chronic coughing (almost asthmatic, like he was trying to gulp air for more oxygen), was related to his very narrow and limited airway passages. About a year later, after treatment (which was very seamless and straightforward to go through , no hidden costs and really exceptional doctor/patient care), my son has plenty of space now in his mouth and airways, and absolutely NO cough!! It’s totally gone, after years of it. His sleep, focus, and immune system have all benefited as well. I realize the cosmetic part is a side benefit, but he’s achieved that as well with his teeth not totally crowded up anymore. I’m so grateful to Dr Adair and all his wonderful staff, it was truly worth every penny. Health is wealth!

Being a Dental Hygienist is was important for me to find an orthodontist that was not just focused on cosmetics, but function and airway. Dr. Adair gets a full history of each patient and spends the time discussing their unique needs in order to establish the foundation of health as they grow into adults. My son’s behavior and sleep have dramatically improved in just 3 months of treatment. My daughter now has room for her permanent teeth to erupt and has a beautiful smile. We highly recommend Dr. Adair.
