A coordinated starting point

If your child also sees a pediatric dentist, bring those details to the discussion. The orthodontic and pediatric offices at Fairview Park use different suites; confirm the suite for your appointment.

What to discuss at the consultation

Tell the team about your main concern, previous dental treatment, and any medical evaluation already completed. A visit can explore jaw width, bite relationships, growth, and oral function while identifying where additional expertise may help.

Plan the next step around your needs

The online airway evaluation helps organize your observations. At the visit, the clinical assessment determines whether the next step is monitoring, additional records, treatment planning, or coordination with another provider.

Need pediatric scheduling?

Let the team know the patient’s age and the reason for the visit so the appropriate office and provider can be identified.

Define the interdisciplinary question

An orthodontic consultation can distinguish maxillary transverse deficiency, dental crowding, and sagittal jaw discrepancy. A pediatric dental assessment contributes the child’s dentition stage, oral-health status, and developmental history. These questions may overlap with a respiratory concern but should retain their own diagnostic criteria. When booking in Falls Church, identify the principal question and confirm the appropriate discipline and suite so the consultation is directed to the relevant assessment.

Structure & growth

Airway-focused orthodontics

The way teeth fit is part of a bigger picture. We consider the upper jaw, lower jaw, tongue space, and developing bite alongside the breathing and sleep concerns you bring to your visit.

Pediatric airway dentistry

Children grow quickly. Pediatric dentistry adds an early view of dental development, oral habits, feeding concerns, and the patterns a family notices at home.

Palatal expansion & the airway

The palate is also the floor of the nose. When the upper jaw is constricted, expansion can address a structural limitation that matters to the bite and, in selected patients, the nasal airway.
