What if you could cut 6 months off your braces or aligner treatment?

That's exactly what Turbos can do. And that's not even the only benefit.

Here's how Turbos work:
✅ Used as an alternative to a night guard for TMJ issues
✅ Can be the only treatment needed for some patients
✅ Used at the end of treatment for long-term stability
✅ Can shave 6 months off braces or aligner treatment time

No more TMJ pain. No more grinding and clenching. Just faster, smarter treatment that addresses the root cause — not just the symptoms.

👇 Would YOU sign up for Turbos to cut time off your treatment?

Your tongue position might be affecting your child's anxiety and ADHD. 🤯

There's a neural stimulation center on the roof of the mouth — exactly where the tongue is supposed to rest. When it's there, it activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest mode).

Ever wonder why putting your tongue to the roof of your mouth helps a brain freeze? Same concept. 🧠

When kids have low tongue tone, that calming stimulation is missing — making them more anxious and more hyperactive. It even explains why so many kids develop thumb sucking habits — they're trying to substitute for what the tongue isn't doing.
The good news? It's retrainable. That's exactly what myofunctional therapy does.

👇 Did you know tongue posture could impact anxiety and ADHD?

At Synergi Orthodontic Specialists, we believe deeply in supporting the community that supports us. Synergi Orthodontic Specialists is a proud sponsor of Level up Sports and Arts, and recently, one of the Level up families is facing a tough journey. Shawn Limbach, husband to Stacy and father to Declan and Ellie Mae, was recently diagnosed with ALS.

For every Level Up Sports and Arts player who starts treatment before July 31, Synergi will donate $100 directly to the Limbach family, with a goal of raising $5,000–$10,000+ together this summer. Not a Level Up Sports and Arts family? Synergi is also donating $25 per new patient start on your behalf to the Limbach family this summer.

If you've been thinking about early expansion, braces, or aligners for yourself of your family, now's the time. We would be honored to take care of you, while also supporting this sweet family.

For our level up sports and arts players, wear your jersey to your consultation or start appointment to support the Limbach family. An email was sent out with more details.

TikTok's mewing trend is actually getting kids to take their oral health seriously.

And honestly? We're not mad about it.

When teenage boys come in and already know what mewing is, it makes it SO much easier to get them excited about myofunctional therapy, the real, science-backed version of what they've been seeing online.

"You want a better jawline? Go see Jackie. She'll teach you how to actually do it."

Sometimes the best entry point into better airway health is one that already speaks their language.

Did YOU find out about tongue posture through mewing?

Palatal expansion is one of the most powerful tools in airway-focused orthodontics, and it is often underused.

By gently widening the upper jaw over time, a palatal expander can create more room for teeth, widen the nasal passage, and meaningfully improve airflow, especially during sleep.

At Synergi Orthodontic Specialists in Rancho Cucamonga, we use palatal expanders as part of a comprehensive treatment approach that addresses both the smile and the airway.

Ask us at your next visit whether expansion could help you or your child.

Think you're too old for orthodontic treatment? Think again. 🦷✨

Age is NOT a barrier to improving your airway, even with crowns, restorations, or missing teeth. Adult orthodontics is about meeting you where you are and building a plan that works around your unique situation.

Braces? Aligners? Additional appliances? There are more options than you think.
