Description:
In this episode, Dr. Scott Bolding — leading oral and maxillofacial surgeon and airway reconstruction expert — dismantles the outdated belief that sleep apnea is primarily a soft-tissue problem. He explains why the bone dictates the obstruction, why skeletal repositioning is the true driver of airway patency, and how maxillary advancement, mandibular rotation, and hyoid biomechanics can radically transform patient physiology. You'll also hear how CBCT, DICE, and joint-first diagnostics reshape treatment planning for sleep apnea and complex cases. A must-listen for clinicians who want to move beyond superficial airway conversations and into evidence-based surgical frameworks.
