Airway Health, Palate Expanders, and Why Your Kids’ Orthodontics Have Changed with Dr. Amanda Wilson

from Real Life Momz · host Lisa Foster

Are you a mom wondering why orthodontic treatment looks so different today than it did when you were a teenager? Are you being told your 7-year-old needs a palate expander and you're not sure why? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Amanda Wilson, a mom, orthodontist, and dental consultant, to demystify the world of "airway health" and explain why it’s the new frontier in children's dentistry.Dr. Wilson, joining us all the way from Hawaii, shares her unique perspective on how orthodontics has evolved from simply straightening teeth to focusing on the overall growth and health of a child's face. We break down the "ABCs" of airway, breathing, and circulation, and discuss why early intervention matters.About Dr. Amanda Wilson:Website: https://www.straightsmilesolutions.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StraightsmilesolutionsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/straightsmilesolutions/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StraightSmileSolutions/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dramandawilsonAbout the Host:Real Life Momz on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/reallifemomz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Real Life Momz on Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/reallifemomzpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@reallifemomzpodcast4048?si=jj5bQ_Afhyl0ZNi7⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We're excited to share that Real Life Momz now has an ⁠Amazon storefront⁠!
