Our goal is to move beyond the idea of simply expanding the jaw to make it “too big” and instead focus on redirecting growth to its natural biologic size for each age. By using growth appliances to guide development, we ensure the jaw reaches its normal size, allowing the tongue to function as “nature’s orthodontist” and keeping the airway open. This redirection is what truly allows the body to grow, thrive, and develop naturally as it was always meant to.

We like to focus on how the jaw, teeth and tongue affect the patients ability to breathe and thrive. Unlike traditional orthodontics, which focuses primarily on straightening teeth, airway orthodontics addresses the underlying structural issues, aiming to optimize nasal breathing and overall health!

We look at the bigger picture including jaw structure and airway health, not just moving teeth!

Mouth breathing can do more than make your mouth dry—it can throw off the balance that helps protect your teeth and gums. That’s why we use saliva testing in our office to better understand your oral health and tailor care to you!

What sets Dr. Tim apart? Asking the question ‘WHY’ and listening to your story! This allows you to have choices with your treatment, and you can play a role in determining what is best for you or your child. Dr. Tim founded Herre Holistic Dental KC after growing frustrated seeing the chronic disease that plagues so many Americans. As a holistic, biological dentist he looks beyond the mouth and connects the dots between whole body health.

We aim to create a welcoming environment for our young patients! We see patients as young as two years old and our philosophy, through examinations, cleanings and airway care, is to help guarantee the growth of strong teeth, well developed jaws and proper breathing.

Most people think orthodontics is just about straightening crooked teeth. The truth is that traditional braces move the teeth into a straighter position but don’t address why they were crowded in the first place. Holistic care treats the source of the crooked teeth…the airway. In our office we don’t just examine teeth and gums, we evaluate the airway, the orofacial structures, and how it all works together. Because how you breathe affects the whole body.

Restricted Airway Red-flags🚩👇
Snoring, teeth grinding, and mouth breathing have been so normalized, but they are NOT normal for the human species. These are red flags of a struggling airway that can lead to:
-Poor sleep, night terrors, or tossing and turning
-ADHD-like symptoms and learning difficulties
-Chronic fatigue
-Mouth breathing, which keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flight

Our Airway First Approach 👇🌬️
We treat adults and kids as young as 2 because we believe that being proactive is the best possible course of action. We aren’t just moving teeth. We’re building a foundation for lifelong health! Check out or website for a breakdown of our Breathe to Thrive Method!

Unlike a classic tongue-tie, a posterior tie is often hidden beneath the surface. It might look “normal,” but it can quietly cause a ripple effect through the entire body, from feeding struggles and mouth breathing to chronic neck tension and TMJ issues down the line. When we evaluate for a posterior tongue tie, we aren’t just looking at anatomy. We are looking at how is feeding actually going for you and your baby? A “hidden” tie can turn a beautiful bonding moment into a cycle of pain, clicking, and reflux. Our functional evaluation prioritizes your lived experience, we look at the whole picture to ensure both mom and baby are thriving.
