from JawHacks

Ron sits down live at the Winds of Change conference in Chicago with Dr. George Mandelaris (periodontist & SFOT specialist), Dr. Newaz (orthodontist & leading MARPE/FME provider), and Dr. Jaffari (GP & restorative specialist). They break down how SFOT and MARPE work together to expand both jaws, why restorative is the most overlooked step in jaw treatment, and whether MARPE + SFOT can replace jaw surgery for underbites.Dr. Mandelarishttps://www.periodontalmedicine.orghttps://www.instagram.com/periomedicineDr. Newaz & Dr. Jaffarihttps://www.youtube.com/@airwayorthohttps://www.instagram.com/airway.orthohttps://www.instagram.com/drnewazzzhttps://www.instagram.com/dr.jaffari.dds1:1 Coaching with Ron (Now Inside The Joint)https://jawhacks.com/coachingJawHacks Newsletter (Substack)https://substack.com/@jawhacksAnd More on the Websitehttps://jawhacks.com/Chapters0:00:00 Intro0:00:46 Setting the Scene at Winds of Change0:01:33 What Is SFOT0:02:36 What Is MARPE and Nasomaxillary Expansion0:03:46 How SFOT and MARPE Work Together0:06:05 SFOT for Root Resorption and Implant Site Development0:08:20 AGGA, MSDO and When SFOT Comes First0:13:11 Dr. Newaz's MSDO Case (Two-Piece Mandible)0:15:25 The New Mandibular Distractor Design0:18:56 All-on-4 and Why Airway Gets Overlooked0:21:51 Restorative Dentistry: The Overlooked Step0:22:18 Vertical Dimension, GERD and Airway0:23:54 Ron's Teeth Were Examined Two Days Ago0:24:36 Why You Need to Fix Your Teeth Before Jaw Surgery0:26:21 Provisionals, Post-Surgical Settling and a Case Study0:29:06 Symptoms of Lost Vertical Dimension0:30:16 Is the Field Too Lazy for Interdisciplinary Planning0:31:23 SFOT Cuts Treatment Time in Half0:33:40 Does Every Patient Need This and How Teams Actually Plan0:37:23 Expanding Before Implants: The Airway Question Nobody Asks0:40:34 Airway Arches: A New Concept (You Heard It Here First)0:41:42 SFOT Stability, Keys to Success and What Can Go Wrong0:44:46 Ron Did SFOT Awake and His Wife Cried Filming It0:45:19 Wrong SFOT Technique and Why It Causes Complications0:48:43 Is Dentistry Being Commoditized0:50:51 The Numbers: How Much Can SFOT and MARPE Actually Do0:52:50 No-Diastema, MASPE and the Aesthetics of Slower Expansion0:57:55 FME vs Custom MARPE1:00:01 The Mayo Clinic Analogy1:01:03 OutroNO MEDICAL OR DENTAL ADVICE.
