ASAP Pathway: THE PODCAST

 In this episode of ASAP Pathway, hosts Dr. Stacy and Dr. Tracey sit down with prosthodontist, educator, author, and disruptor Dr. Jeff Rouse for a powerful conversation about where dentistry is headed. Dr. Rouse shares how a prosthodontist became deeply involved in airway, sleep, bruxism, growth, and craniofacial development—not because it was trendy, but because the traditional explanations no longer made sense.His journey began with questions about bruxism, occlusion, broken restorations, and sleep, and eventually became deeply personal when he recognized the missed signs in his own son, Jake. Together, they discuss why dentistry may need to stop asking permission to develop healthier anatomy, why “airway orthodontics” might not be the best label, and why the real goal may simply be normalizing anatomy: better faces, broader arches, better bites, and better long-term health.This episode challenges old assumptions around orthodontics, extractions, sleep testing, literature interpretation, and interdisciplinary care. It is also a call for dentists to think more critically, read the science more carefully, and step into their role in shaping the future of airway and whole-health dentistry.Dr Jeff Rouse IgDr Jeff Rouse FB⏱ Chapters 00:00 — Welcome to ASAP Pathway00:51 — Introducing Dr. Jeff Rouse02:42 — What is a prosthodontist?05:06 — Why a restorative dentist belongs in the airway conversation08:04 — Questioning traditional occlusion and bruxism teaching10:17 — What the literature really says about sleep bruxism11:52 — “Find your Jake”: when airway becomes personal15:08 — Parenting, airway, and when “enough is enough”17:41 — Why perfect outcomes are not always possible19:00 — The danger of overpromising airway results21:26 — Why changing anatomy still matters22:31 — UPPP, CPAP, and what anatomy changes teach us25:56 — Why AHI is not the only marker that matters27:02 — Inspire, circumferential collapse, and the role of arch width30:05 — Why anatomy-based treatment affects airway31:03 — Dr. Tracey on early expansion and serial extractions33:22 — Should we stop saying “airway orthodontics”?35:20 — Facial aesthetics, arch form, and healthier development38:39 — Clear aligners and the future of early orthodontics42:02 — The general dentist’s role in early intervention43:18 — Challenging the AAO position on airway46:09 — Why dentists need better access to literature48:37 — Making the AAO position less relevant in daily practice50:50 — Why old foundational literature needs re-examination55:34 — Teaching dentists how to read the literature58:13 — Dr. Rouse’s upcoming Global Diagnosis textbook59:55 — Adding maxillary hypoplasia as a diagnostic question01:01:19 — Treatment planning airway cases in the new textbook01:02:43 — Upcoming education with Rouse, Robbins, and Kinzer01:04:08 — Rapid-fire questions: coffee, thermostat, and dancing01:10:20 — Final thoughts and ASAP Pathway shoutout🧠 Key LearningsAirway is not just for “sleep dentists.”Every area of dentistry can reveal airway-related clues, including prosthodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, and restorative care.Bruxism is more complex than traditional occlusion teaching suggests.Dr. Rouse explains that sleep bruxism is not simply about massive nighttime forces or constant grinding.Personal experience can change clinical perspective.Recognizing missed airway signs in his son, Jake, deeply shaped Dr. Rouse’s airway journey.Early intervention can improve the future, even if it does not create perfection.The goal is not always to “fix everything,” but to remove obstacles and create a better biological starting point.Overpromising airway outcomes hurts credibility.Dentistry must avoid claiming that one device or one intervention will eliminate every issue.Changing anatomy matters.Better anatomy can support better breathing, better function, better facial development, and better long-term health.AHI should not be the only measure of success.Quality of life, anatomy, breathing, and overall health markers matter too.The phrase “airway orthodontics” may create unnecessary resistance.Dr. Rouse suggests reframing the goal as normalizing anatomy or anatomy-based orthodontics.Serial extractions and delayed orthodontic intervention deserve re-evaluation.Dr. Tracey emphasizes that crowded primary dentition often will not self-correct.Facial aesthetics and airway are deeply connected.Broader arches, fuller smiles, and better facial development often align with better functional outcomes.General dentists may need to play a larger role.If specialists are unwilling or unavailable, properly trained general dentists can help move the field forward.Dentists need to learn how to read the literature critically.Dr. Rouse stresses that clinicians must understand the science themselves instead of relying only on position papers or speaker claims.This is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of ASAP Pathway the Podcast, hosts Drs. Stacy and Tracey sit down with renowned sleep expert Dr. Rafael Pelayo from Stanford University. What starts as a chance meeting turns into a deeply impactful conversation about sleep, policy, airway health, and the biology we can’t ignore. Dr. Pelayo shares his journey—from early sleep research to helping change legislation that delayed school start times in California, improving mental health, academic performance, and even reducing teen car accidents.

📝  In this episode of ASAP Pathway, hosts Drs. Stacy, Michelle, and Tracey are joined by a highly respected leader in the field of TMJ and dental sleep medicine, Dr. Jamison Spencer. With nearly three decades of experience treating over 25,000 patients, Dr. Spencer brings a powerful and paradigm-shifting perspective to a topic many dentists avoid: temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ). Why are TMJ patients often labeled as “difficult”? Why do so many clinicians feel unprepared to treat them? And perhaps most importantly—are we sending patients to surgery when we don’t have to? This conversation dives deep into the gaps in dental education, the misunderstood progression of TMJ dysfunction (from clicking to locking).  Dr. Spencer challenges long-held beliefs and introduces emerging, non-surgical approaches—like platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)—that are changing outcomes for even the most complex cases. The discussion also connects TMJ to airway, growth and development, and early intervention in children—highlighting why dentists play a central role in both prevention and long-term health outcomes. This is more than a clinical conversation—it’s a call to rethink how we diagnose, treat, and truly understand TMJ.About Dr Jamison SpencerLearn Adult Dental Sleep Medicine and TMJ Therapy: The Spencer Study Club⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 — Intro + ASAP Pathway welcome 00:29 — Meet Dr. Jameson Spencer 03:07 — Spencer Study Club + TMJ education 04:14 — Why dentists avoid TMJ patients 06:38 — “All TMJ patients are nuts” explained 07:28 — The problem with dental education on TMJ 08:23 — The dangerous gap: do nothing vs surgery 08:56 — PRF: A game changer in TMJ treatment 10:02 — Why surgery often makes TMJ worse 11:12 — Patients flying in to avoid surgery 12:26 — Why PRF works (and why it’s different) 13:19 — Peptides, exosomes, and regenerative medicine 14:51 — Dentistry vs medicine: prevention vs sick care 16:20 — Why most TMJ surgeries can be avoided 17:48 — What patients actually care about: pain + function 19:57 — Can joints actually heal?

In this episode of ASAP Pathway: The Podcast, Dr. Stacy dives into a powerful and eye-opening conversation with Chris Gillette and Dr. Layne Martin on a topic that is often overlooked in Dental Sleep Medicine: sleep architecture. While most discussions in airway dentistry focus on opening the airway and reducing apnea events, this episode challenges that narrow perspective. Chris, a registered sleep technologist with over 20 years of experience, and Dr. Layne Martin, a Dentist with  Orthodontic Residency experience, share how treating apnea alone does not guarantee restorative, high-quality sleep.They explore what happens between sleep stages, why fragmented sleep can leave patients feeling exhausted even after “successful” treatment, and how both CPAP and traditional oral appliances can unintentionally disrupt the brain’s natural sleep patterns.The conversation expands into pediatric sleep, mouth breathing, growth and development, and why early intervention matters more than ever. Dr. Layne Martin also shares how his own journey—from full mouth rehab dentistry to orthodontics and sleep—completely shifted how he evaluates and treats patients.This episode is a must-listen for dentists, healthcare providers, and anyone interested in understanding why true sleep health is far more complex than just airway management—and how a more comprehensive approach can transform patient outcomes.Chris Gillette: LinkedInDr. Layne Martin: LinkedInairVata WebsiteOpen Air Pillow ($25 off either pillow code: ASAP_Podcast25)$35 off airVata for the Month of April 2026!

Treating apnea alone does not equal good sleep. Reducing AHI (apnea events) does not guarantee that a patient is getting restorative sleep. Sleep quality and architecture matter just as much. 2. Sleep architecture is critical to health True restorative sleep requires proper cycling through stages: Stage 1 → Stage 2 → Deep Sleep → REM, multiple times per night. 3. Fragmented sleep is a major hidden issue Micro-arousals caused by discomfort, devices, or airway instability can prevent patients from reaching deep and REM sleep—even if apnea is treated. 4. Foreign objects can disrupt the brain CPAP masks or bulky oral appliances can trigger the brain to perceive a threat, leading to disrupted sleep transitions and poor sleep quality. 5. REM sleep is essential—and often missed Patients frequently miss REM sleep due to fragmentation, leading to fatigue, poor recovery, and long-term health risks. 6. Mouth breathing has no physiological benefit The nose has dozens of functions that support health, while mouth breathing contributes to poor airway function and overall health issues. 7. Jaw position and stability matter in sleep An unstable or falling jaw can worsen airway obstruction and contribute to poor sleep quality and clenching/grinding. 8. Dentistry is always affecting airway Whether intentional or not, every dental treatment (orthodontics, restorations, night guards) impacts airway and breathing.9. Pediatric sleep is critical for development Children require deep sleep for growth and brain development. Disrupted sleep can lead to developmental and health issues. 10. Traditional approaches may be too narrow The current model often focuses only on airway mechanics, ignoring neurological and physiological aspects of sleep.11. Comfort drives compliance If a patient cannot tolerate a device, they will not use it—making even the most effective treatment useless.12. Sleep medicine needs a more comprehensive approach True treatment must consider airway, neurology, behavior, anatomy, and patient comfort together.This is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.

📝  In this episode, Drs. Stacy and Michelle sit down with Dr. Jaren Argyle, founder of The Elevated Dentist, for a deeply personal and important conversation about mental health, fulfillment, and the hidden emotional burden many dentists carry. Dr. Argyle shares how the traits that often make dentists successful—high achievement, perfectionism, and deep care for others—can also create the perfect storm for burnout, depression, and isolation. He opens up about his own life-changing experience with suicidal ideation during a difficult season in his marriage, and how that moment became the catalyst for a profound shift from external validation to internal peace.Together, they explore why so many dentists define success by productivity, revenue, and outside expectations, and how easily that can pull them away from what they actually want in life and practice. The conversation highlights the importance of vulnerability, coaching, supportive community, and what it means to move from “prevention” toward actively promoting wellness, joy, and fulfillment before crisis occurs.This episode is an honest and hopeful reminder that professional success does not guarantee emotional wellbeing—and that it is possible to build a life and practice that truly align with who you are.Suicide Hotline: #988, Open 24/7/365LinkedIn Jaren ArgyleFB Jaren ArgyleIG Jaren ArgyleThe Elevated Dentist Redefining Success MasterclassBooks of Interest Below: ⬇️Wheel of LIfe AssessmentSuccess MindsetsThe Gap and the GainInto the Magic Shop📖 CHAPTERS: 00:00 — Welcome + Introducing Dr. Jaren Argyle01:45 — Why dentistry can be the “perfect storm” for mental health struggles03:28 — The three personality traits common in dentists06:42 — Why dentists blame themselves when things go wrong09:14 — The problem with success being defined externally13:06 — Jaren’s personal story: marriage struggles and reaching a breaking point17:24 — Suicidal ideation, hopelessness, and the moment things shifted20:24 — From external validation to internal loci of control22:38 — “I don’t need my wife, but I want her” — changing the framework26:20 — Climbing the wrong ladder: why dentists chase the wrong goals33:16 — Needs vs wants, oxygen masks, and redefining what matters34:18 — Vulnerability, ego, and why dentists struggle to ask for help42:16 — The Gap and the Gain: how dentists measure success the wrong way47:05 — Why Jaren created The Elevated Dentist55:20 — Utah wellness events, unique ability, and designing a more fulfilling life01:05:02 — Promoting wellness instead of waiting for crisis01:15:19 — Rapid-fire questions and closing reflections🧠 Key LearningsDentistry creates a unique mental health risk profile Dr. Argyle explains that many dentists share three traits: they are high achievers, perfectionists, and deeply caring people. That combination can create a powerful internal pressure that becomes difficult to manage.Dentists often define success externally From school onward, many dentists are conditioned to measure success through grades, performance, productivity, revenue, and approval from others rather than by internal alignment or peace.Clinical success does not guarantee personal fulfillment A growing practice, income, and professional milestones can all be present while a dentist still feels emotionally empty, stuck, or disconnected.Suicidal ideation can appear suddenly Dr. Jaren Argyle’s story highlights that these thoughts may not always come after years of chronic depression—they can emerge quickly when stress, hopelessness, and emotional burden collide.Internal loci of control can be life-changing One of Jaren’s biggest turning points was realizing he could no longer define his worth based on someone else’s happiness or approval.There is a powerful difference between “need” and “want” Shifting relationships and life circumstances from need to want creates freedom, healthier attachment, and less emotional dependency.Dentists need more support before crisis Jaren emphasizes that wellness conversations should happen before someone reaches burnout, depression, or suicidal ideation—not only after a crisis.Vulnerability is essential for healing Dentists often struggle with ego and self-protection, but asking for help, opening up, and becoming more vulnerable is a crucial first step toward change. Many dentists live in “the gap” instead of “the gain” Comparing yourself to an ideal or to others creates discouragement, while comparing yourself to your own growth and progress creates a healthier mindset.Fulfillment grows when you work in your “unique ability” Identifying the work that energizes you, aligns with your strengths, and creates meaning is key to building a sustainable and joyful professional life.Wellness should be actively promoted, not just crisis-managed A major theme of the episode is the idea of promoting wellbeing, joy, connection, and purpose rather than simply trying to prevent collapse.This is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.

📝 In this episode of ASAP Pathway; The Podcast,  Dr. Stacy sits down with Australian chiropractor and Myomunchee leader Dr. Mary Bourke to explore the powerful connection between oral function, neurological development, and lifelong health.Dr. Bourke shares the story behind the Myomunchee device—originally developed by her father in the 1960s after observing the powerful jaw structure of indigenous populations and recognizing the role chewing plays in oral health. What began as a periodontal and salivary health tool eventually revealed broader impacts on jaw development, bite alignment, and muscular function.The conversation expands into the neurological foundations of oral development, including primitive reflexes, early feeding patterns, and how sucking, chewing, swallowing, and breathing must coordinate for proper development. Dr. Bourke explains how retained reflexes, prolonged pacifier use, and missed developmental milestones can influence oral function, nervous system regulation, and even behavioral patterns later in life.They also discuss the growing importance of collaboration between dentistry, chiropractic care, speech therapy, and other healthcare disciplines to support early childhood development. The episode highlights the importance of recognizing dysfunction early and introduces the Oral Motor Foundations program, designed to help healthcare professionals understand developmental milestones and support healthy neurological integration.IG: MyomuncheeFB: MyomuncheeYouTube: MyomuncheeMyomunchee Oral Motor FoundationsAre you a practitioner working in the 0-2 year space? Explore the Myo Munchee Baby Certification pathway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nw_4auCdg0&feature=youtu.be Are you a parent?Visit https://www.myomunchee.com to access parent Resources or to get in touch with a Myo Munchee Certified practitioner.Follow & Connect with Myo Munchee:YouTube: @myomunchee7624   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/myomunchee/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/myomunchee/Email: [email protected]: https://www.myomunchee.com⏱ CHAPTERS: 00:00 — Introduction to Dr. Mary Bourke and Myomunchee02:24 — The history of Myomunchee and its 1966 patent04:25 — Discovering chewing’s impact on oral health and salivary function06:30 — Early research with Osaka Dental University and children’s chewing studies08:01 — Chiropractic perspectives on TMJ, posture, and full-body health11:37 — Why healthcare silos prevent whole-body understanding12:47 — Discovering myofunctional therapy as the missing piece16:00 — Dentistry’s evolving role in prevention and neurological health18:44 — Introducing Oral Motor Foundations and the brain–mouth connection26:30 — Primitive reflexes, breastfeeding, and early neurological development31:30 — Pacifiers, chewing development, and oral milestones39:55 — Food aversions, nervous system dysregulation, and oral sensory input47:20 — Retained reflexes and long-term impacts into adulthood51:10 — The Oral Motor Foundations education platform for clinicians🧠 Key LearningsChewing plays a critical role in oral healthEarly Myomunchee research focused on improving salivary flow and periodontal health through chewing stimulation, which also strengthens oral musculature.Oral function can influence bite developmentClinicians observed that children using chewing devices showed changes in crossbites and open bites, demonstrating how muscular activity influences dental alignment.Dentistry and chiropractic perspectives can complement each otherDr. Bourke explains how viewing the jaw within a full-body framework—including posture and neurology—helps practitioners better understand dysfunction.Primitive reflexes form the foundation of early developmentBabies rely on reflexes such as rooting, sucking, and swallowing to coordinate breathing and feeding. These reflexes guide neurological wiring in early infancy. Breastfeeding supports neurological coordinationBreastfeeding activates suck-swallow-breathe coordination and stimulates early neurological development through central pattern generators in the brainstem.Pacifier use is helpful early—but timing mattersPacifiers can help organize newborn neurological patterns but should typically be phased out around six months so the tongue can assume its natural position in the palate. Retained primitive reflexes can affect oral and body functionIf reflexes do not integrate properly, individuals may experience oral hypersensitivity, gag reflexes, feeding challenges, or broader nervous system dysregulation.Early oral sensory exposure shapes brain developmentThe mouth is the first three-dimensional mapping system for the brain. Tongue contact with the palate and oral exploration provide essential neurological feedback.Oral dysfunction often appears alongside other symptomsMouth breathing, sleep disruption, ear infections, malocclusion, food aversions, and behavioral regulation issues often occur together within the same developmental pattern.Early screening by healthcare professionals is criticalDentists, chiropractors, speech therapists, and other clinicians can help identify developmental dysfunction early and guide families toward appropriate interventions.This is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.

🎙️In this episode of ASAP Pathway, Dr. Stacy sits down with orthodontist, researcher, and inventor Dr. Sandra Kahn to explore the deeper connection between sleep architecture, craniofacial growth, and long-term health in children. Drawing from her personal journey as a mother and clinician, Dr. Kahn shares how her own children’s challenges led her beyond traditional orthodontics and into the root causes of growth dysfunction—nasal breathing, oral posture, and most critically, deep sleep. Together, they discuss why early intervention alone isn’t always sustainable without maintenance, how nitric oxide and nasal breathing impact brain “cleaning” during stage 3 sleep, and why promoting health through proper resting posture may matter more than treating symptoms during the day. They also unpack the concept of the “invisible swallow,” the role of negative intraoral pressure during sleep, and how environmental—not genetic—factors may drive malocclusion and jaw shrinkage. Finally, the conversation turns toward the emotional realities for families navigating airway care, reminding parents that while form and function matter, preserving family connection and reducing overwhelm is equally essential.Register Here for Dr. Kahn's Family Reset Airway RetreatUSE CODE: DRSTACY5 for a DISCOUNT!!💰Visit ForwardonticsIG: ForwardonticsArticle Referenced: Impact of Palatal Expansion With Up-Locker on Children With Sleep-Disordered-Breathing: A Clinical Trial⏱️ Chapters00:00 — Introduction to Dr. Sandra Kahn04:28 — A Mother’s Journey Beyond Traditional Orthodontics07:34 — Two Children, Two Airway Extremes10:13 — Health Promotion vs Disease Prevention11:38 — Deep Sleep and Why “Health Happens at Night”13:03 — The Tropic Premise: Resting Oral Posture During Sleep16:03 — Sleep Architecture, Glymphatic Flow, and Growth20:20 — Nitric Oxide, Nasal Breathing, and Brain Disconnection26:00 — Early Intervention vs Long-Term Sustainability29:05 — The Invisible Swallow and Negative Pressure36:21 — Post-Surgical Rehab and Why Treatment Relapses50:21 — Family Stress, Less-Is-More, and Preserving Connection🧠 Key LearningsDeep (stage 3 non-REM) sleep is when growth hormone release and brain “cleaning” occur—making sleep architecture critical for pediatric growth and emotional regulation.Proper nasal breathing and relaxed oral resting posture during sleep may influence craniofacial development more than daytime behaviors alone.Nitric oxide’s bioavailability, not just its production, is influenced by nasal airflow dynamics and may affect vascular dilation and glymphatic drainage during sleep.Early orthodontic or ENT interventions can improve anatomy but may not be sustainable without functional maintenance (“rehab”) of resting oral posture.Malocclusion and jaw shrinkage may be environmentally driven, emphasizing the importance of early-life conditions over genetics alone.Teaching a relaxed “invisible swallow” (maintaining minimal negative intraoral pressure) may help support effortless resting posture during sleep.The first 1000 days—from conception through early childhood—represent a key developmental window for establishing healthy breathing and swallowing patterns.Over-focusing on treatment can create stress within families; promoting health through simple, consistent conditions may be more sustainable than aggressive intervention.Preserving parent-child relationships during care is essential—family bond disruption can have lasting emotional consequences.This is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.

🎙️Dr. Stacy welcomes pediatric dentist and airway-focused clinician Dr. Rafif Tayara to the ASAP Pathway Podcast for a global conversation on early interceptive care, pediatric sleep-breathing red flags, and why “just looking at teeth” misses the real root causes.Dr. Tayara shares how her career across Montreal, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Qatar led her to connect recurring childhood cavities to mouth breathing and low nighttime saliva—pushing her beyond traditional pediatric dentistry into airway, function, and sleep medicine (including training at Tufts University). They unpack why parents’ anxiety can transfer directly to kids in the dental chair, how behavior management affects early orthodontic access, and why multidisciplinary teamwork (ENT + dental + myofunctional therapy and more) is the only sustainable path. They also address the backlash that can come with changing paradigms, the logic behind orthodontics influencing airway, and why early expansion and functional re-education can reduce complexity later—sometimes making “Phase 2” minimal. The episode wraps with fun rapid-fire questions, including a Tiësto concert night in Dubai and a bold Bangkok food moment.IG: Dr. Rafif TayaraIG: Junior DentalJunior Dental WebsiteDr. Tayara’s Book: Danny and Sarah Go to Dr Smile🕰️ Chapters:02:04 — “Danny and Sarah Go to Dr. Smile”03:06 — Where to find the book + why she wrote it (fear-free first visits)06:30 — “Kids borrow a parent’s mental health” in the dental chair09:58 — Why kids behave differently when the parent steps out11:38 — Dubai context + her career path and opening her clinic14:15 — The cavity relapse problem: mouth breathing, saliva, and nighttime risk16:10 — Airway + function journey: tongue posture, swallow, palate, adenoids20:06 — Social media backlash + why early ortho/airway work matters23:34 — Multidisciplinary care: ENT + function + expansion + resistance reduction28:53 — Protocols in practice: myofunctional therapy, expanders, Invisalign First45:47 — Barriers in dentistry: time, screening, questionnaires, practice models + wrap-up🧠 Key Learnings: A big driver of pediatric dental “failure” can be airway-related, especially mouth breathing and reduced saliva at night—leading to cavity relapse even with strong hygiene and motivated parents.Parent anxiety can directly shape a child’s dental experience, and well-meaning language can unintentionally increase fear (the “unknown” is often the trigger).Behavior management is a real bottleneck for early orthodontic care—if clinicians can’t comfortably scan, take impressions, or earn trust, early intervention gets delayed into “come back later” monitoring.If you don’t know what you’re looking for (tongue posture, swallow pattern, function), you won’t find it—and “nothing to see here” becomes a training blind spot.The tongue can be the best or worst orthodontist: function can stabilize results or drive relapse, depending on posture and habits.Orthodontics influencing airway is basic anatomy/physics logic, especially when comparing adult sleep treatment mechanics (mandibular advancement/CPAP/MMA concepts) to pediatric orthopedic/orthodontic approaches.Kids often improve through combined care, not a single fix: airway evaluation + ENT involvement + expansion + functional re-education + myofunctional therapy (and sometimes osteopathy) working together.Early expansion in primary dentition can be controversial—but momentum is shifting, with more clinicians adopting earlier approaches and airway screening increasingly discussed in pediatric guidelines.Practice model limitations are real (high-volume pediatric schedules, limited time): screening tools and questionnaires can help capture key data without derailing workflow.The long game is prevention and simplification: early work can reduce the intensity of later “phase 2” ortho and, in some cases, make it minimal.This is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.

🎙️In this episode Dr. Stacy sits down with orthodontist Dr. Jackie Demko for an honest, experience-driven conversation about airway, growth, and the realities clinicians face when patients don’t fit neatly into traditional timelines or treatment silos.Dr. Demko shares how her clinical perspective has evolved over time, what she began noticing in patients long before airway became a mainstream conversation, and why so many individuals struggle to get clear answers when dentistry and medicine fail to communicate. Together, they explore patterns seen repeatedly in real patients, the long-term impact of delayed intervention, and why listening carefully often reveals more than any single test or protocol.This episode blends clinical insight with patient-centered reality, offering perspective for providers and patients alike who are navigating complex airway, growth, and sleep-related concerns.IG: Demko OrthodonticsFB: Demko OrthodonticsTIKTOK: Dr DemkoArticles Mentioned in this Episode: ⬇️A Rationale for ExpansionDr. Michael Owen Wiliams, DDSDr. Larry W White, DMD, MSBeyond the Ligament:A “Whole Bone” Approach to Dentofacial Orthopedics and Falsification of Universal Alveolar Immutability ©Neal C.

In this episode Dr. Stacy sits down with Vanderbilt-trained ENT and sleep specialist Dr. Keith Matheny for a wide-ranging, real-world conversation about the airway—starting where many discussions skip: the nose. They unpack why nasal obstruction (fixed and functional) is often minimized in sleep care, how “CPAP intolerance” is frequently a nasal problem in disguise, and why the nasal valve is commonly missed even by clinicians—sometimes because the tools used to examine the nose temporarily “fix” the problem. Dr. Matheny shares practical, current ENT options that don’t require major surgery, including in-office radiofrequency treatments that can address nasal valve issues, turbinates, and septal swell bodies with minimal downtime. From there, the conversation expands into pediatric airway concerns, the long-term cost of “waiting it out,” and how chronic mouth breathing can shape growth, sleep quality, and even the labels kids accumulate.They finish with a compelling vision for what’s next: true medical-dental collaboration—sleep boards, shared language, better screening, and models that make treatment more accessible for patients. And, because Dr. Matheny is also “The Grill Doctor,” the episode closes with pizza wedges, skiing attempts, grilled salmon, and a seasoning drop coming soon!!US ENT PARTNERSDr. Matheny's Practice, Collin County ENTSLEEP VIGILSEPTUM SOLUTIONSGRILL DOCTOR ON IGCHAPTERS:00:00 – Welcome + Why Dr. Matheny Had to Be on the Show00:46 – Structure vs. Function in Airway Care02:48 – Meet Dr. Keith Matheny: ENT, Sleep, Patents… and BBQ06:40 – Authenticity in Healthcare: Patients Need a Real Human08:22 – ENT + Dentistry: Same Playground, Not Enough Collaboration09:22 – “The Nose Doesn’t Matter” in Sleep?

🎙️ PODCAST DESCRIPTIONIn this episode of the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Dr. Stacy is joined by Dr. David McCarty for a deeply thoughtful conversation about how patients—children and adults—are often misunderstood, mislabeled, and mistreated when care focuses on symptoms instead of root cause. Drawing from neuroscience, clinical experience, and real patient stories, Dr. McCarty challenges the way we approach diagnoses such as ADHD, anxiety, sleep disorders, and behavioral dysregulation. He explains how airway function, tongue stability, neurological signaling, and chronic physiological stress can quietly shape how patients think, feel, sleep, and function—often for years before anyone connects the dots.This episode speaks to the exhausted patient, the frustrated provider, and the family searching for answers, highlighting how siloed care and rushed labels can leave people stuck in cycles of treatment that never fully address what’s happening beneath the surface. At its core, this conversation is a call to slow down, listen better, and approach patients as whole humans—across all ages—whose bodies are communicating long before pathology shows up on a chart.LISTEN HERE for the Crows Teaching Crows Song! 🐦‍⬛🎶🔗Dr. Dave is Co-Creator (with Ellen Stothard, PhD) of the Empowered Sleep Apnea Project! 🔗Dr Dave McCarty on LinkedIn 🔗FB Empowered Sleep Apnea 🔗Dr. Dave as CMO of Rebis Health! 🔗🎧 EPISODE CHAPTERS  📖00:00 – Welcome to ASAP Pathway & Setting the Tone for the Conversation 00:16 – Introducing Dr. David McCarty & Why This Episode Matters00:26 – The “Cartoon” That Explains Where Airway & Diagnosis Are Right Now11:27 – Neurology, Anatomy & Why Symptoms Aren’t the Root Problem13:22 – Development, Adaptation & What Happens When the Body Compensates16:33 – The Risk of Diagnosis Without Understanding Physiology19:05 – Patients Who Are Exhausted, Out of Answers & Out of Hope19:33 – Where Medicine and Dentistry Must Work Together27:49 – Tongue Function, Airway & Nervous System Regulation38:10 – What Patients Are Communicating Through Their Symptoms49:40 – Rethinking Labels, Behavior & Chronic Dysregulation56:26 -- Building a Unified Language01:02:30 – What Patients Can Do First: Slowing Down & Asking Better Questions01:13:45 – Restoring Hope Through Whole-Patient Understanding01:21:10 – Closing Reflections & Why This Conversation Matters🌟 KEY LEARNINGS Symptoms are often adaptive responses, not primary disorders.Airway, tongue function, and neurology are tightly interconnected.Patients can compensate for years before breakdown occurs.Labels without physiology can delay meaningful healing.Chronic dysregulation affects sleep, cognition, mood, and behavior at any age.Medicine and dentistry must collaborate to see the full picture.Patients often feel unheard long before they feel “sick.”The future of sleep medicine includes a unified language around sleep apnea that all healthcare providers can share.Hope begins with better questions, not faster answersThis is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.

🎙️ PODCAST DESCRIPTION In this episode of the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Dr. Stacy welcomes one of the most respected and passionate voices in airway science: Dr. Karen Parker Davidson—airway clinical nurse specialist, medical researcher, innovator, and widely known as “the nose nerd.” This conversation goes far beyond nasal breathing and into the complex physiology of nasal function, pressure regulation, neurology, gut health, posture, and sleep. Dr. Parker Davidson explains why the nose is not simply a passageway for air—but a diagnostic organ that reflects the body’s overall health, adaptation, and dysfunction. Together, they unpack why widening the airway does not always equal better breathing, how pressure differentials shift throughout the body, and why nasal resistance—not just anatomy—must be measured objectively. From rhinomanometry and facial phenotypes to CPAP intolerance, tongue posture, orthodontic expansion, and the dangers of oversimplified treatment protocols, this episode challenges conventional thinking and calls for deeper, more individualized diagnosis.The conversation also honors the legacy of Dr. Klaus Vogt, a pioneer in rhinology and mentor to Dr. Parker Davidson, whose work continues to shape the future of airway medicine. This is a must-listen episode for dentists, orthodontists, ENTs, sleep physicians, therapists, and patients seeking a clearer, more nuanced understanding of airway health.LinkedIn Dr Karen Parker DavidsonInstagram "The Nose Knows", Dr DavidsonFacebook Dr Karen Parker DavidsonDr Karen Parker Davidson's Website!🌟 KEY LEARNINGSThe nose is not just for breathing—it is a diagnostic organ.It reflects neurological, inflammatory, postural, and systemic changes.Nasal resistance is sneaky, slow, and often invisible.Patients adapt for years before symptoms become obvious.Bigger airways do not guarantee better breathing.Function depends on pressure differentials—not just volume.There is no universal “normal” for nasal resistance.Each nose is as unique as a fingerprint.The tongue cannot function properly with high nasal resistance.Tongue posture is neurologically dependent on nasal airflow.Expansion and mandibular advancement shift pressure gradients.Improvement in one area may create dysfunction elsewhere.Mouth breathing is a reflex, not a habit.It signals underlying resistance or obstruction.Objective measurements matter.Symptoms alone can mislead diagnosis and treatment planning.Over-reduction surgeries can worsen quality of life.Empty Nose Syndrome highlights the danger of “more space = better.”Airway care must be collaborative, not siloed🎧 ASAP Pathway – Episode Chapters  00:00 – Welcome to ASAP Pathway & Introducing Dr. Karen Parker Davidson01:23 – Why Karen Is Known as “The Nose Nerd”02:45 – From Critical Care to Airway Science04:08 – Introducing Rhinomanometry & Objective Nasal Data05:21 – The Nose as a Diagnostic Organ09:48 – Facial Phenotypes & What the Face Reveals About Breathing11:06 – Nasal Resistance: Slow, Sneaky & Insidious16:25 – Tongue Instability, Pseudo-UARS & Misinterpreted Airway Collapse17:05 – Expansion, Pressure Shifts & the “Honeymoon Period”20:54 – Jaw Position, Vertical & Neurological Feedback Loops29:57 – CPAP Intolerance & Why the Nose Still Matters34:40 – ENT Surgery, Turbinates & Empty Nose Syndrome41:10 – Early Intervention, Children & Developmental Windows49:35 – Honoring Dr. Klaus Vogt & His Rhinology Legacy1:02:55 – Rapid-Fire Questions, Reflection & Closing ThoughtsThis is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.

🎙️ PODCAST DESCRIPTIONIn this heartfelt and deeply educational episode of the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Dr. Stacy sits down with Kelley Richardson, a longtime dental industry leader, airway advocate, and author of the children’s book The Very Stuffy Nose. What begins as a professional conversation quickly becomes a powerful personal story of motherhood, persistence, and the life-changing impact of understanding pediatric airway health. Kelley shares her son’s early struggles with feeding, mouth breathing, restless sleep, and learning challenges—and the six-year journey it took to finally uncover the root cause: disordered breathing and improper craniofacial development. Through this lived experience, Kelley found her calling in airway education, myofunctional therapy awareness, and collaborative care. Together, Dr. Stacy and Kelley explore:Why mouth breathing in children is so often missedHow sleep affects brain development, learning, and emotional regulationThe critical role of the tongue in facial growth and airwayWhy teachers, hygienists, dentists, ENTs, and physicians must work togetherAnd how early intervention can change a child’s entire life trajectoryThe episode closes with practical guidance for parents, inspiration for providers, and a reminder that awareness is the first step toward transformation.⏱️ EPISODE CHAPTERS  00:00 – Welcome to ASAP Pathway & Introducing Kelley RichardsonKelley’s background in dentistry, airway education, and her children’s book.05:10 – From Dental Sales to Airway AdvocacyKelley’s early career and transition into aligner therapy and occlusion.10:35 – Why the Tongue, Occlusion, and Airway Are InseparableHow improper tongue posture affects facial growth and breathing.15:40 – Kelley’s Son: Early Feeding Challenges & Missed Red FlagsLatching issues, reflux, gagging, and mouth breathing from infancy.22:10 – Restless Sleep, Night Sweats & Learning StrugglesClassic but often overlooked signs of pediatric sleep-disordered breathing.27:05 – The “Aha” Moment: Discovering Airway DentistryThe life-changing social media post that led Kelly to the right answers.32:40 – Breathing Retrainers, Expansion & Facial Growth TimingWhy nasal breathing alone isn’t enough—structure matters.38:15 – Why Deep Sleep (N3) Is Critical for Children’s DevelopmentGrowth hormone, glymphatic cleansing, memory consolidation, and learning.43:20 – The Teacher’s Perspective: Seeing the Change in the ClassroomHow better sleep transformed Kelly’s son’s behavior and focus.48:10 – The Role of Hygienists & Myofunctional TherapistsWhy hygienists are frontline airway detectors.52:30 – Why Teachers Must Be Part of the Airway ConversationConnecting education, behavior, and undiagnosed sleep disorders.58:40 – What Parents Should Look For at HomeDark circles, open-mouth posture, scalloped tongues, and facial patterns.1:04:00 – The Very Stuffy Nose: Education Through StorytellingHow Kelley’s book empowers families to recognize mouth breathing early.1:09:30 – Advice to Dentists, Orthodontists & Medical ProvidersWhy airway-minded diagnosis must expand beyond straight teeth.1:14:45 – Rapid-Fire Fun Questions & Closing ReflectionsPizza toppings, fears, name mix-ups, and heartfelt gratitude.🌟 KEY LEARNINGSMouth breathing is not benign.It is a red flag for airway obstruction, poor sleep quality, and altered facial growth.The tongue is a primary driver of facial development.When the tongue sits low, the palate narrows, the airway shrinks, and breathing suffers.Restless sleep is often the only visible symptom in children.Night sweats, movement, hyperactivity, and inattention may all trace back to poor sleep.Deep sleep (N3) is essential for growth, brain health, and learning.This is when growth hormone is released and the brain clears toxins.Teachers frequently observe sleep-related problems first.Yet they are rarely trained to recognize airway-based causes.Early expansion and orthopedic intervention can be life-changing.Timing matters — structural treatment is far more effective in childhood.Hygienists are key gatekeepers for airway awareness.They see patients more often than physicians and can identify early signs.Not all orthodontic treatment considers airway health.Straight teeth alone do not equal healthy breathing.Parents must trust their instincts.If a child “still doesn’t sleep right,” there is likely a deeper cause.Awareness changes everything.Once families understand airway health, they can seek the right help sooner.Superbreathers IGSuperbreathers FB PageKelley Richarson LinkedInGet your copy of The Stuffy Nose below!Super Breathers Website This is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.

🎙️ PODCAST DESCRIPTION  In this episode, Drs. Stacy and Michelle sit down with Dr. Kip Covington, a dentist whose expertise in sleep and TMJD care is matched only by his passion for helping patients navigate a confusing, often overwhelming treatment landscape. Together, they dive into why so many patients feel lost when seeking help for chronic jaw pain, sleep-related issues, and facial discomfort—and how dentistry can fill the gap by offering clear, evidence-based options. Dr. Covington breaks down the limitations of traditional TMJD management, the power of diagnosing the true source of pain, and the growing role of conservative therapies such as red light therapy, physical therapy, and splint-based force control. From orthobiologics like PRF to the underdiagnosed world of temporal tendonitis, the conversation highlights how targeted diagnosis can spare patients unnecessary surgery and years of misdirected treatment. They also explore the broader picture—nutrition, gut health, inflammation, collaborative care, and the role dentists should play in systemic wellness. It’s an honest, educational, and deeply relatable discussion you won’t want to miss.GET YOUR DISCOUNTED RED VIVE LASER HERE!ENTER CODE FOR 40% OFF!: KIP79853Dr Kip Covington's IGDr. Kip Covington's FBDr. Kip Covington's TikTok⏱️ EPISODE CHAPTERS 02:04 – Why patients struggle to find accurate TMD information05:10 – Philosophies & modalities: why understanding options matters08:22 – Red light therapy as a conservative TMD treatment12:15 – Diagnosing the root cause before treating the symptoms15:48 – Orthobiologics (PRF) vs. steroids for joint pain20:05 – Splints: controlling joint forces for long-term stability24:10 – Temporal tendonitis & cases of misdiagnosed ear/occipital pain28:46 – Physical therapy & targeted therapy success stories32:21 – Photobiomodulation: pain, snoring, wound healing, and more37:08 – Red light therapy at home: practical and accessible options41:55 – Managing pain without opiates—especially for young patients46:02 – Nutrition, gut health & systemic wellness in dental practice50:44 – Medicine + dentistry: why collaborative care is essential55:12 – Holiday traditions, favorite movies & gratitude for listeners🌟 KEY LEARNINGS1. Patients need clarity—not confusion—about TMD treatment options. Dentists must understand multiple philosophies to guide patients toward effective, conservative care. 2. Red light therapy is an accessible, powerful tool. It supports collagen regeneration, inflammation reduction, and overall healing—without the cost of a $50k laser.3. Accurate diagnosis is everything. Conditions like temporal tendonitis can mimic ear pain or occipital pain, leading to unnecessary imaging or misdiagnosis.4. Orthobiologics like PRF offer long-term healing. Unlike steroid injections, PRF promotes tissue regeneration and sustained pain relief.5. Splints help control destructive joint forces. Properly designed splints create a more stable joint environment and support conservative healing.6. Pain management must go beyond opiates. Especially for younger patients, photobiomodulation, physical therapy, and biologic treatments provide safer long-term relief.7. Oral-systemic connections matter. Nutrition, gut health, sleep, inflammation, and systemic disease all influence oral health and overall wellness.8. Collaboration is the future of dental medicine. Working with medical teams—cardiology, ENT, PT, sleep medicine—creates better outcomes for complex cases.9. Listening is a superpower. Patients are experts on their bodies, and effective care starts with truly hearing them.10. Human connection matters.

In this episode of the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Drs. Stacy and Tracey welcome two of the country’s most respected voices in airway and orthodontic health: Dr. Movahed, an oral & maxillofacial surgeon, and Dr. Moshiri, a nationally recognized orthodontist and educator. Together, they break down the real patterns behind sleep-disordered breathing — what dentists are seeing every day, what often gets missed, and why so many children fall through the cracks in a system that wasn’t designed to diagnose airway problems early. From DISE findings to skeletal growth trajectories, from tonsils and adenoids to facial patterns and orthodontic timing, this episode reveals how much can be uncovered before a child struggles. The conversation is honest, insightful, and refreshingly collaborative — showing what’s possible when dentistry, orthodontics, and surgery work together rather than in isolation. Whether you are a dentist, orthodontist, ENT, myofunctional therapist, or a parent trying to understand your child’s symptoms… this episode will change the way you think about pediatric airway forever.They also discuss the upcoming 3rd year of the Winds of Change conference in Chicago.  Bringing Dentistry and Medicine together on the topic of airway and sleep health solutions, with live labs in addition to lectures. If you’ve ever felt stuck between disciplines, unsure when to refer, or frustrated by fragmented patient pathways — this episode is a roadmap.CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR WINDS OF CHANGE 2026!! CLICK HERE FOR ASAP PATHWAY'S BLACK FRIDAY-CYBER MONDAY SPECIAL! Dr. Reza Movahed’s WebsiteDr Movahed‘s IGDr. Maz Moshiri FacebookDr. Maz Moshiri ThreadsCHAPTERS:00:01 - Collaboration in patient care 07:30 - Evolving as dental specialists 34:43 - Understanding orthodontic relapse 53:17 - Thanksgiving special discussions 01:02:04 - Gratitude and mindfulness 🌟 KEY LEARNINGSWhat is the significance of collaboration between dental specialists in the context of patient care?The collaboration between dental specialists, such as orthodontists and surgeons, is crucial for providing comprehensive care.
