Northridge Location

Northridge’s only

What Is Airway Orthodontics

Your teeth aren’t
the whole story.

Traditional orthodontics straightens teeth. Airway orthodontics goes deeper — addressing how the jaw, airway, and breathing patterns develop. Poor airway development doesn’t just cause crooked teeth; it can affect sleep, focus, behavior, and health at every age.

Using Vivos, Myobrace, and Dr. K’s own proprietary BioX (Bio Expansion) protocol — developed out of his residency work with cleft palate patients — Dr. K treats patients from age 3 through adulthood, right here in Northridge.

Recognize the Signs

Does any of this
sound familiar?

These symptoms are often dismissed as unrelated. An airway evaluation may reveal a connection no one has told you about.

In Your Child (Ages 3–12)

  • Mouth breathing day or night
  • Snoring or restless sleep
  • Bedwetting after age 5
  • ADHD-like hyperactivity or poor focus
  • Crowded or crooked teeth

In You (Teens & Adults)

  • Snoring or waking up exhausted
  • Brain fog or morning headaches
  • Clenching or grinding teeth
  • Acid reflux or unexplained weight gain
  • Anxiety tied to poor sleep

If three or more of these apply to you or your child, a free airway evaluation is one of the most useful appointments you can make.

Common Questions

Frequently asked
questions.

What ages do you treat in Northridge?
Dr. K sees patients starting at age 3 through adulthood. Early intervention (ages 3–6) guides jaw growth before problems become permanent, but airway treatment is effective at any age.

What is BioX?
BioX (Bio Expansion) is Dr. K’s proprietary biomimetic protocol that grows the jaws slowly and biologically, fine-tuned to each patient’s natural growth speed — as an alternative or complement to Vivos and Myobrace.

Do I need a referral to be seen?
No. Anyone can book a complimentary airway evaluation directly. Dr. K also works alongside pediatricians, ENTs, sleep physicians, and myofunctional therapists for patients who come through physician referral.

Is the first visit really free?
Yes — every new patient’s first airway evaluation is complimentary, with no obligation.
