Dr. Karen Guinn is passionate about advancing and maximizing the art & science of Orthodontics.
She understands that the Orthodontic Sleep Apnea program can change the airway and address the underlying source that causes sleep apnea and difficult breathing. This approach is intended to provide patients with immediate relief from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) has emerged as one of the most widespread and costly health issues for adults and children in the U.S.A.

Making the decision to straighten your teeth is much easier when you know that Invisalign® treatment lets you live your life the way you want to. With Invisalign aligners, you don’t need to worry about the gum and mouth irritation other teeth-straightening methods can cause.
Invisalign® clear aligners take a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligners are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners (and switching to a new set typically every week) will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your orthodontist plans out for you.
