Integrative Orthodontics

Hood River Dental offers integrative orthodontics through Dr William Payne. We ensure that airway, sleep, and overall oral health are our focus at every visit!

The following article illustrates the importance of integrative orthodontics. “The bottom line is that our health and happiness (and that of our children) may be at risk due to habits which most of us never give a second thought. But how we eat can be just as important as what we eat; how we breathe can be just as important as what’s in the air we breathe; how we sleep can be just as important as how long we sleep. These are all key aspects of the jaws epidemic and part-and-parcel of overall oral-facial health. It is often said that the face is the window to the soul, but it is also a window on the health status of the person behind the face.” Click button to read the full article from Stanford University.
