Hamada Orthodontics Orthodontist in Metairie, Luling & Destrehan, LA
Helping Kids & Adults Breathe, Sleep & Thrive with Airway Orthodontics
Orthodontist Dr. Allison Hamada and the team at Hamada Orthodontics in Metairie, Luling, and Destrehan create beautiful, confident smiles through braces and Invisalign. We address how breathing, sleep, and jaw development affect lifelong health for kids and adults.
The Story Behind My Approach
"I did all that I was trained to do and thought I had done everything right—until I realized there was a much bigger picture that I had missed. Like missing the 800 lb gorilla in the room. My daughter’s struggles with sleep, anxiety, and focus led me to discover the connection between orthodontics, breathing, and whole-body health. Now, I help families just like yours unlock their child’s full potential."
-Dr. Allison Hamada

More Than Just Braces in New Orleans: Our Treatment Approach
1
Early Growth & Airway Intervention (Ages 5-7)
Most parents don’t realize that 80% of jaw growth happens by age 7. That means that waiting until all the permanent teeth come in (age 12+) might be too late to correct some structural problems.
- Expanding the airway early prevents lifelong issues like snoring
- Guides proper jaw growth for better breathing and aesthetics
- Reduces the need for future extractions, impacted teeth, or jaw surgery

Airway-Focused Orthodontics for Kids & Teens
Kids and teens struggling with crooked teeth and bite irregularities often see huge benefits from airway focused ortho treatment.
- Widening the smile is not only beautiful, but healthy
- Clear aligners can be an esthetic option for some patients
- Our focus prioritizes jaw size, so the days of waiting for all the permanent teeth to come in are long gone

Treatment for Adults
In addition to orthodontic relapse and worn teeth, many adults suffer from poor sleep quality and TMJ pain without realizing that their jaw structure could be the culprit. Airway-centric orthodontics targets the root cause and can offer quality of life improvements far beyond a beautiful smile. We are aware of the esthetic concerns that some adults may have, and offer clear solutions to your orthodontic needs. Traditional orthodontics falls short of addressing our sleep disturbances.
- MARPE (Palatal Expansion for Adults) to fix breathing issues without surgery
- Clear aligners for a straighter smile and healthier life
