Orthodontics      Sleep      Airway Health

More than a beautiful smile

Whole-person orthodontic care from a Harvard-trained specialist 
- where straight teeth are only the beginning of better health

For Children: We are a sleep / airway focusedpractice

Many of our children have underlying health issues.  Thorough investigation to understand the root cause as well as treat the skeletal and dental issues helps parents use their time and resources effectively. 

At Maruko Orthodontics its not just about expansion.
 
For Adults:  Straighten Your Smile While You Sleep Better

Many of our adult patients wear a sleep apnea appliance while their teeth are being aligned - one treatment timeline, two life-changing results.  Better breathing.  Deeper sleep.  A confident smile. 

And in many cases, Dr. Maruko's whole-health approach helps uncover the root cause of sleep issues -- sometimes reducing or even eliminating the need for a CPAP or appliance altogether.

""Dr. Maruko noticed I was tired when I brought my kids to their appointment. She did a sleep and airway exam, and sent me to my MD for a sleep test.  It's night and day with C-Pap.  I feel so  much better that I decided to look further. My conebeam showed me the problem." - M.B., 2/26/2026
