Airway care for every age
Whether you're the one who can't sleep, or you're worried about your child, the first step is the same: find out why.
Guide growth while it's still easy.
Snoring, mouth breathing, grinding, crowded teeth, or restless nights. A child's jaw does most of its growing early, and gentle guidance inside that window can open space for teeth, tongue, and air.

Wake up rested. Breathe easier.
Snoring, waking up tired, a CPAP you can't stand, clenching, or jaw pain. We look for the structural reason behind it and treat the airway itself, with options like DOMEzero expansion, oral appliances, and laser therapy.
Adult treatmentsWe look at the airway, not just the teeth
Crowded teeth, grinding, snoring, and restless sleep are rarely random. They often trace back to a jaw that needed help growing, and an airway that ended up too small behind it. Most dental visits stop at the teeth. Ours start with how you breathe.
That's why every consultation includes a 3D CBCT scan of the airway, jaws, and joints. Dr. Buxton walks you through what it shows in plain language, so we can treat the reason instead of chasing the result.

Caught early, small problems stay small
A child's jaw does most of its growing in the first ten years. Inside that window, gentle guidance can do remarkable things. If you've been told to wait and see, this is exactly the moment to look closer.
- Guiding growth early may reduce the need for bigger corrections later
- An open airway supports nasal breathing and the deep sleep kids need to learn, grow, and feel like themselves
- Care can start as young as age three, often with a gentle, removable nighttime appliance
Adult expansion, done gently with DOMEzero
Many adults were told a narrow palate was something they'd just have to live with. DOMEzero is the adult expansion protocol Dr. Buxton uses to widen the upper jaw with small anchors and slow, gradual activation, paired with Spark clear aligners from the start. The aligners manage the front teeth along the way, so patients avoid the large gap that traditional adult expansion is known for.
- Designed to create room for the tongue and support nasal breathing
- Planned from your 3D CBCT scan and coordinated with your sleep data
- An option for many adults who want to address the structure behind snoring, apnea, or TMJ symptoms

Some dentists add airway care to their service list. Dr. Buxton built his practice around it. His journey into dental sleep medicine and breathing began more than 20 years ago, and his training runs deep: expansion for kids and adults, DOMEzero, the Vivos Method, mandibular advancement, and soft tissue laser therapy for the palate and tongue ties.
