Adolescence is a critical time for growth and development. A teenager’s jaws, teeth, and airways are still maturing, making it the perfect stage for targeted interventions that can support healthy breathing, proper alignment, and long-term oral function. By addressing structural, functional, and airway concerns during these growth years, we often reduce the need for more invasive treatments later.

Adolescence is a critical time for growth and development. A teenager’s jaws, teeth, and airways are still maturing, making it the perfect stage for targeted interventions that can support healthy breathing, proper alignment, and long-term oral function. By addressing structural, functional, and airway concerns during these growth years, we often reduce the need for more invasive treatments later.
Frenectomy
Restricted tongue or lip movement can affect speech, chewing, and oral posture. A precise frenectomy can free restricted movement, supporting proper jaw development and airway function.
Palatal Expansion
Palatal expansion is the gentle widening of the upper jaw to create space for the tongue, support nasal breathing, and improve alignment. Whether your teen needs a growth-guided expander or a more advanced adult appliance, this treatment helps create room for both function and airway health.
Myofunctional Therapy
These are targeted exercises meant to retrain the tongue and facial muscles to support proper oral posture and breathing patterns. Function supports structure, and structure supports function, helping teens establish healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Invisalign
Invisalign serves many purposes besides straightening teeth. The process of aligning teeth while supporting jaw and airway development helps improve both smile aesthetics and long-term oral function. Customized orthodontics can enhance breathing, sleep, and structural balance.
TMJ Solutions
You should never ignore jaw pain, clicking, or tension. We evaluate jaw function, muscle activity, and airway influence to create customized TMJ solutions that will relieve discomfort and support healthy growth.

Meet Dr. Stamm
You don’t come to Dr. Stamm because you’re looking for a quick fix.
Patients often find their way here after something hasn’t quite added up, persistent jaw discomfort, breathing or sleep concerns, or a sense that symptoms are being treated without understanding the full picture.
Dr. Stamm takes a step back. She looks at how the airway, jaw, bite, and overall function work together before recommending anything. Her approach is thoughtful, thorough, and grounded in the belief that better outcomes start with better questions.
What patients appreciate most is that she takes the time to explain why something may be happening, not just what to do next.
