Airway Orthodontics



Young lady Smiling
A beautiful smile and gorgeous straight teeth! We want this for ourselves and our children. At Main Street Dentists, we know that there's so much more. That's why we look at a child's facial growth and development at an early age to help assure harmonious facial development and airway breathing capacity.

The goal of Airway Orthodontics is for each child to have his or her best developed face. This means the most functional ability to breathe, swallow, and sleep. We know that improving the health and shape of the face can reduce jaw joint problems and ENT problems, including sinusitis and middle ear infections. Children and adults with healthy functioning faces enjoy lifelong benefits, including a confident, beautiful smile. Early diagnosis in children as young as age 2 offers the possibility of permanently increasing a child's airway as he or she grows and reducing or eliminating future problems.

Both Drs. John and Kate Schacherl have completed the elite Airway Mini Residency (AMR) with doctors Barry Raphael D.D.S. (NY, NJ) and Mark Cruz, D.D.S. (CA). Together, Drs. John and Kate are pleased to offer Madison, Wisconsin area patients a wide range of cutting-edge airway (breathing) treatment options.
