Interceptive Treatment & The Pediatric Airway - Part 2 (w/Dr. Stacy Ochoa) [Ep.24]

Don’t miss Part 2 of my interview with the amazing Dr. Stacy Ochoa!You’ll learn:• Why Dr. Mike and Dr. Stacy are so passionate about the topic of sleep-disordered breathing interceptive orthodontic treatment.• The importance of diagnosing and treating the etiology of the malocclusion and how to determine if/when a patient has a transverse discrepancy that can be helped by expansion.• Examples from the otolaryngological literature demonstrating the relationship between pediatric sleep-disordered breathing and behavioral, neurologic, and quality of life problems.• Evidence from the literature demonstrating a decrease in adenoid hypertrophy after orthodontic expansion in preadolescent patients.• Why the most frequently referenced orthodontic literature focusing on the lack of value of interceptive treatment is flawed.• Where the 2019 AAO White Paper got it wrong. • Dr. Mike’s unique approach to developing arches in the early mixed dentition using full braces and wires – NO EXPANDERS!!• The role of the tongue in assisting with arch development and expansion.• Why every dentist (specialist and GP) needs to recognize the signs and symptoms of pediatric sleep-disordered breathing and understand the importance of normalizing the craniofacial growth and development of these patients.
