airway conscious dental therapy
At Developmental Dentistry, our goal is to provide people of all ages with holistic wellness & therapies for symptoms related to craniofacial underdevelopment, TMJ pain, & sleep-disordered breathing.
we imagine a world...
in which not only are adults free from pain and sleep-disordered breathing, but where the next generations are prevented from enduring the consequences of poor airway development.
Our office leaves the fillings, crowns, and cleanings to the very special and important relationship you have with your primary dentist and instead focuses on the foundation in which those teeth are held.
Schedule a no-charge screening with Dr. Sabet for children who exhibit outward symptoms of sleep disorders that could interfere with physical, cognitive, emotional & social development.

“Dr. Evie has treated myself and my children for several years. We have been extremely happy with the exceptional care we have received. My husband and I as well as our kids very much appreciate the time Dr. Evie takes to explain the why, how, and projected outcome for any recommended treatment. It is clear that Dr. Evie is well informed and well educated. We highly recommend Dr. Evie and Developmental Dentistry!”

“Saving us years of costly orthodontics, Dr. Evie and Developmental Dentistry developed a treatment plan for our daughter that is nothing short of miraculous. After a month of Healthy Start treatment, we already saw improvements in the positioning of our daughter’s teeth and jaw. A year later, her teeth and jaw are perfectly positioned, her sleep is improved, and her smile lights up a room. We are grateful to Dr. Evie and Developmental Dentistry for taking care of our daughter.”
Jason, Hillsborough
“We've been thrilled with Dr. Evie and the healthy start program. Both our boys are in the program and we've noticed an improvement in their sleep and speech habits. Of course, their teeth are coming in straight, too! Dr. Evie and her team provide excellent care, and clear and transparent processes. They've even taken advantage of newer technology to make getting started super easy, even for a 6-year-old! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Developmental Dental, Dr. Evie, and the healthy start program to anyone that is looking for orthodontics for their kids.”
Geneane, Chapel Hill
“I had no idea bed wetting was an indication of airway issues for my daughter. The pediatrician and speech therapists never asked if my child wet the bed. However, this question was one of the first Dr. Evie asked. After a consultation with Dr. Evie and her staff, I was confident their treatment plan would make a difference for my child. I knew at that moment I found a knowledge doctor that I could trust. My daughter wears her habit corrector every night. It is so much easier than trying to do speech exercises daily, and after 4 months there has been definite speech improvement.”
Renee, Halifax County VA
“I was very, very skeptical that it would work. My husband had seen an ad for Healthy Start and thought they "were full of it". After 4 months he and I agree, it’s just amazing how his habit corrector changed his look so much! I recommend Dr. Evie Sabet to my friends with children.”
