The nasal airway & dental care

A critical, often-overlooked component of care

The NARIS diagnostic suite provides the essential tools to objectively measure nasal anatomy, airflow, and resistance, empowering you with the data needed for successful treatment planning and collaborative care.

Why it matters

Why nasal airway assessment is crucial for dentistry

Success of oral appliance therapy (OSA)

A patent nasal airway is a prerequisite for successful OSA treatment. Objectively verify if nasal obstructions will impede therapy before you begin.

Craniofacial development

In pediatric patients, chronic mouth breathing due to nasal obstruction can lead to improper facial growth, high palatal vaults, and malocclusion.

Informed collaborative care

Generate clear, objective data to facilitate effective referrals to ENTs and allergists, ensuring your patients receive maximum treatment success.

TMD & postural issues

Altered breathing patterns can affect head and neck posture, which is often a contributing factor to temporomandibular disorders.

NARIS diagnostic suite

Two techniques, one complete airway picture

Acoustic Rhinometry

Uses sound pulses to map the physical dimensions of the nasal cavity, providing a clear, graphical representation of its cross-sectional area.

Technology: GMI Acoustic Rhinometer R3

Measures: Nasal cavity volume & cross-sectional area, nasal valve to nasopharynx

Clinical insight: Instantly visualize obstructions from a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, or nasal valve collapse

Rhinomanometry

Directly measures how well a patient can actually breathe by recording air pressure and flow rate during respiration.

Technology: NR6 Rhinomanometer

Measures: Nasal airway resistance (pressure/flow relationship)

Clinical insight: Objectively determine if breathing is within normal limits or if constrictions are causing significant resistance
