If you’re considering orthodontic treatment but want more than just straight teeth, holistic orthodontics in Los Angeles might be the perfect fit. At Nikaeen Orthodontics, we take a whole-body approach to orthodontic care focusing not just on how your smile looks, but how your treatment affects breathing, posture, and long-term wellness.
1. What Makes Holistic Orthodontics Different?
Traditional orthodontics focuses on aligning teeth and jaws for aesthetics and function. Holistic orthodontics expands this by considering:
- Breathing and airway health
- Jaw development
- Facial balance
- The impact on sleep and overall wellness
Our approach blends modern orthodontic techniques with principles of integrative health to provide more comprehensive care.
2. A Focus on Early Intervention and Growth Guidance
Holistic orthodontics doesn’t just straighten teeth it guides the natural growth of the face and jaws. Especially for children, we:
- Monitor development as early as age 7
- Use functional appliances to encourage proper jaw growth
- Help prevent the need for extractions or surgery later
By addressing the root causes of misalignment early, we support long-term health outcomes not just cosmetic ones.
3. Integrative Tools and Techniques
At Nikaeen Orthodontics, we use tools that support the body’s natural function, including:
- Airway-friendly braces
- Myofunctional therapy
- Palatal expanders that improve nasal breathing
- iTero scanning (no messy impressions)
These tools are chosen for their ability to promote healthy facial development, breathing, and posture in addition to a beautiful smile.
4. Better Breathing = Better Health
Mouth breathing, snoring, and poor posture often go hand in hand with orthodontic issues. Holistic orthodontics addresses these concerns head-on, improving:
- Oxygen flow
- Sleep quality
- Energy levels
- Focus and attention (especially in children)
Our goal is to align the body as well as the teeth.
5. Whole-Body Results That Last

- A confident, functional smile
