The Synergi Smile Philosophy

1. Airway + Breathing Foundation

Before we move teeth, we evaluate space.

Using digital imaging and clinical analysis, we assess airway volume, nasal breathing patterns, and areas of constriction. If breathing is compromised, we identify:

  • Where the narrowing exists

  • Whether it is skeletal, dental, or soft tissue related

  • How orthodontic treatment and myofunctional therapy can help

Because optimal breathing supports sleep, growth, cognitive performance, and long-term health.

A Synergi Smile begins with a proactive approach to health.

2. Jaw Position + TMJ Stability

Your jaw joints (TMJs) guide every bite, every chew, every word.

We evaluate jaw alignment, joint health, range of motion, and signs of instability or strain. When the bite is imbalanced, it can contribute to:

  • Clicking or popping

  • Muscle fatigue

  • Headaches

  • Tooth wear

  • Jaw pain

Our goal is a bite that supports good living where you can eat, laugh, and speak without discomfort.

3. Muscle Balance + Functional Harmony

Teeth live in a muscular environment.

The lips, tongue, and facial muscles influence growth, alignment, and long-term stability. Mouth breathing, low tongue posture, and muscle imbalance can narrow arches and contribute to relapse.

We often incorporate:

  • Growth guidance

  • Expansion when indicated

  • Myofunctional therapy and body-work collaboration

Because long-term stability depends on balanced muscle function, and nobody wants to pay to do orthodontics again, so let’s do it right the first time.

4. Facial Structure + Soft Tissue Support

A smile should enhance your entire face.

We evaluate skeletal balance, jaw projection, and how the lips are supported. Proper development can:

  • Improve profile fullness

  • Support youthful lip posture

  • Reduce a flattened or sunken appearance

  • Enhance natural facial harmony

True beauty is structural — not surface-level. You shouldn’t have to pay for lip filler as an adult, if your orthodontist properly evaluated your growth and development as a child in your treatment plan.

5. Smile Width + Arch Development

A broad smile supports both aesthetics and airway.

We design arches that fill the corners of the mouth and support the cheeks naturally.

  • Prevents dark corners in your smile

  • Often improves nasal airflow

6. Functional Bite (Occlusion)

A beautiful smile must function under pressure.

We design proper relationships between upper and lower teeth to ensure:

  • Balanced overbite and overjet

  • Even force distribution

  • Stable posterior support

This reduces chipping, uneven wear, risk of developing gum recession and bone loss, and excessive strain on the TMJs.

Let’s normalize not setting our kids up for a life time of health and dental expenses by doing a comprehensive job on their orthodontic care.

7. Tooth Position + Smile Arc

We customize the vertical and angulation of the upper teeth so they complement your lip shape.

Your smile arc should follow the contour of your lower lip — not flatten against it. Proper tooth position ensures:

  • Youthful tooth display

  • Minimal distraction from excess gum

8. Alignment + Precision Contacts

Straight teeth are foundational — but precision matters.

We ensure ideal alignment and properly closed spaces with healthy contact points. This:

  • Improves hygiene

  • Protects bone levels

  • Enhances symmetry

  • Supports long-term stability

Alignment is health, not just aesthetics.

9. Midline Balance

Your smile must align with your facial center.

We evaluate upper and lower dental midlines in relation to the nose, chin, and facial symmetry. Subtle corrections can significantly enhance visual harmony.

Simply put, your smile should match your face.

10. Gum Architecture and Symmetry

Healthy gums frame beautiful teeth.

We assess gum height, contour, and symmetry. When necessary, we coordinate conservative reshaping so that:

  • Teeth are not hidden by excess tissue

  • Proportions appear balanced

  • The smile looks refined and natural

If we straighten your teeth and don’t pay attention to your gums, it won’t look right. Your gums matter!

11. Tooth Shape, Proportion + Finish

The final refinement.

We evaluate tooth width-to-height ratios, incisal edge symmetry, and surface details. When appropriate, we collaborate for:

  • Cosmetic reshaping

  • Resin infiltration

  • Whitening

The result is a polished but authentic finish — never artificial.

The Synergi Difference

Most orthodontics focuses on straight teeth.

We focus on:

Breathing

Structure

Joint health

Muscle balance

Long-term stability

Facial harmony

Microesthetics

Because a truly beautiful smile is one that functions comfortably, ages gracefully, and supports your health for decades.
