Symmetry
What we treat

Four rooms. One upstream cause.

Symmetry treats four overlapping areas — and screens for the airway-aware cause that often connects them. The evaluation visit is the same for all four; the plan that comes out of it is specific to what we find.

Sleep medicine

Sleep & airway

If sleep isn't restful, the airway is usually why.

We evaluate snoring, witnessed apneas, morning headaches, dry mouth, bedwetting in kids, and adult fatigue that won't lift. The exam looks at nasal patency, posture, and bite — not just at whether you stop breathing.

We treat
  • Snoring (adults and children)
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
  • CPAP-intolerance — oral appliance therapy
  • Morning headaches
  • Bedwetting & restless sleep in kids
Our approach

Dr. Deal is double-board-certified in dental sleep medicine. We work with sleep-medicine physicians for diagnosis and treat the upper airway with custom oral appliances, postural retraining, and — when ortho is the right tool — controlled arch expansion.

TMD

TMD & craniofacial pain

Jaw pain that splints alone won't settle.

Jaw clicking and locking. Headaches that started at the temples. Ear pain a doctor said was fine. Pain that flares with stress, with sleep, with chewing on one side. We screen the airway driving the muscle pattern, then treat both.

We treat
  • Chronic jaw and joint pain
  • TMJ clicking, popping, locking
  • Tension and migraine-pattern headaches
  • Bruxism and night clenching
  • Ear-region pain without an ENT cause
Our approach

Board-certified in craniofacial pain. Diagnostic exam, splint therapy where appropriate, and airway co-treatment when the joint is paying the bill for something upstream. Most patients see meaningful relief in the first eight weeks.

ControlledArch

Orthodontics — ControlledArch

Expand the arch. Don't retract it.

Crowded teeth, narrow palates, retrognathic chins, kids on the borderline of needing extractions. We expand the dental arch in three dimensions to support the airway and the face — not against them.

We treat
  • Pediatric growth-guidance (ages 5–12)
  • Adult ControlledArch expansion
  • Crowded teeth without extractions, where the case allows
  • Pre-restorative orthodontics
  • Phase I planning for growing patients
Our approach

ControlledArch is Dr. Deal's signature protocol — taught nationally through Real Deal Seminars. The arch decides the airway, and the airway decides the sleep. Treatment is staged to the patient's growth, not the clock.

General

General + restorative

The everyday work, done properly.

Cleanings, hygiene, fillings, crowns, conservative restorations, and the routine maintenance that keeps an airway-aware result holding. We see existing patients on a regular cadence and welcome new ones for an evaluation visit.

We treat
  • Hygiene & periodontal care
  • Restorative dentistry
  • Composite fillings & ceramic crowns
  • Ongoing maintenance
  • New-patient evaluations
Our approach

Same exam philosophy as the other services — we look at the airway first, then at the chief complaint. Most patients combine ongoing general care with airway-aware ortho or sleep work over time.
