There are a few things you should know about airway dentists.

Airway dentists are dentists first. We went to dental school, learned to care for teeth and create healthy smiles, and started practicing just like everyone else.

Then we got curious.

We started asking why. Why the grinding? Why the crowding? Why the mouth breathing? Why the poor sleep? And the more we learned, the more we realized how much the mouth can tell us about the way someone breathes, sleeps, grows and feels every day.

That curiosity changes the way you practice. You start looking deeper, asking different questions and collaborating with other providers to understand the whole picture.

That’s the thinking behind Foundation First Airway Center.

Curious about what your mouth might be telling you? Let’s look deeper.

Jaden’s family drove 3½ hours looking for answers.

He was struggling with sleep, morning headaches, anxiety and episodes where he felt like he was suffocating. Straightening his teeth wasn’t the goal. Understanding why he was struggling was.

Dr. Jenna looked deeper, evaluating his airway, jaw development, tongue function and oral restrictions. His treatment focused on creating the space and function his body needed, with expansion, alignment and additional therapies as part of a comprehensive plan.

A year later, the physical changes were significant. But those weren’t the changes that mattered most to Dr. Jenna or Jaden’s family.

Today, Jaden is strong, healthy and confident, preparing to serve his country in the military.

This is why we look beyond the smile.

Better Breathing. Better Sleep. Better Health.

This is Foundation First Airway Center in Vero Beach.

We’re here to help you breathe better, sleep better and live healthier.

And we start by asking why.

Why are the teeth crowded? Why do you clench or grind? Why does your child mouth breathe? Why are you snoring, waking up tired or struggling to sleep well?

At Foundation First, Dr. Jenna Schwibner takes a comprehensive approach to airway dentistry, looking beyond the teeth at breathing, sleep, jaw development, tongue function and the structures that can affect how well you breathe.

We work with children, teens and adults and collaborate with sleep physicians and other healthcare providers when your care extends beyond dentistry.

Because sometimes straight teeth are only part of the story. We want to understand what’s happening underneath them and address the foundation first.

If you’ve been searching for an airway dentist in Vero Beach, Florida, you found us.

Better Breathing. Better Sleep. Better Health.

What changes when you finally start getting the quality sleep your body needs?

For one of our patients, addressing his airway health has meant more energy throughout the day, fewer of those familiar 2 PM crashes and feeling better overall. Along the way, he’s also lost 45 pounds.

His experience is his own, and every patient’s results are different. But it’s a powerful reminder that breathing and sleep can affect far more than what happens at night.

At Foundation First Airway Center, we look deeper at the airway to understand what may be standing between you and better sleep, better breathing and better days.

A great feature for Dr. Jenna Schwibner in Vero Beach 32963 this month!

The article takes a closer look at airway focused orthodontic care and a question that has shaped so much of Dr. Jenna’s work: What if crowded teeth are telling us something bigger?

Dr. Jenna discusses why evaluating jaw development, tongue and lip function, breathing and sleep early in a child’s development can reveal issues that go far beyond creating a straight smile. She also shares how Foundation First works alongside other healthcare providers to help identify the source of a patient’s breathing difficulties and connect them with the right care when needed.

As Jenna puts it, “Our goal is simple, to help people breathe better, sleep better and ultimately live healthier lives.”

We’re grateful to Vero Beach 32963 for sharing more about this work and why looking beyond the teeth can make such a difference.

Better Breathing. Better Sleep. Better Health.

A full circle moment for Dr. Jenna.

Early in her airway career, Dr. Jenna trained under Dr. Ben Miraglia, one of the leading educators in airway focused dentistry and the founder of Airway Health Solutions. His teaching helped shape the way she began looking beyond the teeth to understand the connection between jaw development, breathing, sleep and overall health.

Years later, Dr. Miraglia joined us for the grand opening of Foundation First Airway Center and shared what he believes this next chapter can mean: countless lives changed through extraordinary care in a state of the art facility built specifically for airway health.

For Dr. Jenna, having an early mentor stand inside the center she built made the moment that much more meaningful.

And the story has come full circle. Today, Dr. Jenna serves alongside Dr. Miraglia as faculty with Airway Health Solutions, helping educate the next generation of dentists entering the field that changed the course of her own career.

We’re incredibly grateful to Dr. Miraglia for his mentorship, his leadership in this field and for being here to celebrate the beginning of Foundation First.

Better Breathing. Better Sleep. Better Health.
