Our Airway-focused approach to orthodontic treatment focuses on volumetric increase and forward growth of the facial skeleton with the development of the Midfacial region, and subsequent mandibular advancement. Supporting Myofunctional Therary is inseparable part of the balancing of the orofacial muscle equilibrium and preparation for the correct tongue, lip posture, and restorign proper nasal breathing. Tongue tie release procedures serve as adjunct treatment in those cases when additional tongue posture and mobility improvement is necessary and cannot be acheieved with Myofunctional Therapy alone.
Our dedication to the latest technology and research offers our pateints the most advanced solutions to Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Trigeminal Nueralgia, Meniere`s disease, TMJ/TMD, occluso-muscular disease, and other conditions.

I have been seeing Dr. Koval for about 3 months for long-standing TMJ problems. She is excellent and her office staff is wonderful. I’m currently receiving DTR treatments and my jaw pain is a lot less. I highly recommend Dr Koval for TMJ problems.

Pamela B.

Can’t say enough good things about our experience here. My child has been going through mouth expansion treatment, and the difference it has made in his breathing and overall comfort is incredible. As a parent, it’s such a relief to see him sleeping and breathing better. The doctor is not only so knowledgeable but also truly amazing with kids—she explains everything in a way that makes us feel at ease. Her staff is wonderful too, always kind, patient, and so easy to work with when it comes to scheduling.

Dr. Koval is a game-changer in orthodontics! A few years ago, I had a cyst in my upper jaw that required surgery. In researching the cause, I discovered my upper jaw had never fully developed, leaving my bite severely misaligned. Multiple orthodontists offered options that didn’t address the root cause, jaw surgery, veneers, or braces, none of which felt right to me.

Erica R.

Dr. Koval and her team provided extraordinary professional treatment for the bite corrections that were necessary to relieve my jaw pain. This treatment was required because my regular dentist threw off my bite while filling a cavity. It only took a few weeks for the jaw pain to develop but I knew it had to be corrected. Dr. Koval uses new state of the art technology to help identify the problem and resolve the issue. If you have jaw pain or TMJ issues, Dr. Koval can provide relief. Highly recommended!

George G.

I’ve been hesitant and scared of undergoing the MARPE procedure, considering my age and the way my smile will look for extended amount of time. There was no need for that! Dr. Koval made the procedure completely painless, and each step of the way made me feel comfortable with my smile progression. I actually enjoyed the little gap while had it. My journey is not over yet, but the benefits are amazing, I can breathe so well and my face looks snatched after expansion. The office stuff are superstars. They make you feel home, always positive, happy and ready to help/solve any problems. I’m so glad I found this practice and pretty sure will have long term relationship with them as my kids are growing and most likely will need to visit Dr. Koval office in near future.
