Sleep Wellness Wilmington and Airway Dentistry

Dr. Casey Jones, owner of Sleep Wellness Wilmington (SleepWellnessWilmington.com), says, “I
see myself as an oral health and wellness physician, rather than a dentist, because what I do involves so much more than just the teeth. I specialize in sleep wellness which includes airway dentistry, because one of my gifts is being able to see the whole picture.”

She shares, “I use my years of experience, curiosity as a lifelong-learner and network of providers through the local Wellness Collaboration created to help my patients get to the root cause of their sleep issues because everything is connected; it is never one thing and everyone deserves to be able to be met where they are on their path to whole person health; inspired and empowered to take ownership of their direction moving forward.”

Jones explains, “I have always believed that oral health is part of your overall health, and now I believe that breath is what connects it all, which is what drove me to establish Sleep Wellness Wilmington and the Wellness Collaboration. Helping children grow into healthy adults is so exciting, but not everyone had the benefit of what we know now. The good news is that there is
still hope! Treatment plans are individualized, and may include sleep appliances, myofunctional appliances, expansion, orthodontics and collaboration with other providers.” Myofunctional therapy and breath re-training are part of these treatments because dysfunctional habits are
often at the root cause of the issue and help improve their efficacy.

“Establishing functional, nasal breathing is a non-surgical approach that has the potential to improve sleep, increase resiliency and even promote healthy airway growth in children,” says Jones. “I was seeing so much more oral and systemic disease in those that were breathing dysfunctionally that it seemed to often be a missing piece, even among some airway-focused dentists. That is the reason that I chose to train directly under Patrick McKeown, a breathing expert and bestselling author based in Ireland, as an Oxygen Advantage advanced instructor
and Buteyko Clinic International breath re-trainer.
