Anthony Grigoryan is a 22-year-old powerlifter who could deadlift 600lbs but couldn't breathe through his nose. Despite having a six-pack and elite lifting numbers, he felt lethargic, congested, and held back—until he got an 8-screw custom MARPE from Dr. Audrey Yoon. In this episode, he breaks down his transformation, showing CT scans, before/after photos, and explaining how fixing his airway changed everything from his energy to his face structure.We dive deep into the looksmaxxing phenomenon, discussing Clavicular's influence, and when looksmaxxing goes too far.

In this episode, I reconnect with Dr. Reza Movahed, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon based in St. Louis, MO, who performs 90 to 100 total TMJ joint replacement surgeries per year, ranking among the most experienced joint surgeons worldwide. He shares his personal journey through three jaw surgeries that transformed his approach to patient care and surgical planning. We discuss idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR), why certain patients are at higher risk for double jaw surgery failure, and when total joint replacement becomes essential. Dr. Movahed details his bone grafting methods, collaboration with top orthodontists, and how counterclockwise rotation with joint replacement achieves superior esthetic and functional results. He also highlights his MCO mandibular expansion device, the role of DISE in planning, and long-term joint data proving decades of success.Contact Dr. Reza Movahedhttps://www.instagram.com/movahedomshttps://movahedoms.com/1:1 Coaching with Ron — Now Inside The Jointhttps://jawhacks.com/coachingJawHacks Newsletter (Substack)https://substack.com/@jawhacksAnd More on the Websitehttps://jawhacks.com/Timestamps00:00:00 - Introduction00:05:00 - What Is Total TMJ Joint Replacement Surgery?00:11:42 - The Joint as Your Foundation: ICR Explained00:15:35 - Which Patients Are at High Risk for Relapse00:22:25 - Dr. Movahed's Personal Story: Three Jaw Surgeries for OSA00:30:46 - Why Most Surgeons Avoid Joint Surgery00:33:39 - Case Study: Two Failed Double Jaw Surgeries00:40:03 - Grafting Techniques: Using the Patient's Own Bone00:46:12 - Extreme Reconstruction: Goldenhar Syndrome Case00:55:31 - Esthetics and Function: PEEK Implants and Facial Harmony01:02:14 - Segmental Surgery and Counterclockwise Rotation01:10:51 - The Critical Orthodontist-Surgeon Relationship01:20:28 - Custom Plating and Locking Screw Technology01:30:02 - Post-Op Protocol: Nutrition, Steroids, and Minimal Swelling01:38:34 - History of Jaw Surgery: Dr. Wolford's Legacy01:46:25 - The Art of Surgical Planning: Precision and Collaboration01:54:31 - Why Counterclockwise Rotation Was Revolutionary02:05:01 - DISE: Predicting Surgical Outcomes with Sleep Endoscopy02:18:45 - Surgical Planning: Frankfurt Horizontal and Neck Posture02:26:30 - Joint Longevity: 38 Years of Data and Minimal Wear02:40:30 - Virtual Surgical Planning: From CT Scan to Custom Joint02:51:24 - MCO Device: Patent-Pending Mandibular Expansion03:03:29 - Patient Collaboration: Avoiding Surgical Planning Mistakes03:20:18 - Maxillomandibular Expansion Before MMA SurgeryNO MEDICAL OR DENTAL ADVICE.

In this episode, I reconnect with Dr. Aişe Cemile, an orthodontist based in Istanbul, Turkey, who has treated between 500 and 1,000 MARPE cases over the years. She shares updates on her custom MARPE appliance designs, face mask protocols, and innovative methods for managing asymmetry. Dr. Cemile explains how she collaborates with a local lab to create fully customized devices tailored to each patient’s bone anatomy, achieving consistent split success by carefully planning TAD placement. She also discusses her use of face mask protraction, even in adult males, the role of cranial osteopathy and manual therapy in enhancing results, and practical techniques for preventing and correcting asymmetry through exercises, heat, and targeted pressure. A standout case features an 18-year-old male with severe skeletal Class III who achieved jaw-surgery-level changes through two rounds of MARPE and face mask therapy, making this episode essential viewing for anyone seeking advanced and affordable MARPE treatment outside the United State.Contact Dr. Cemilehttps://www.aisecemilecansiz.comhttps://www.instagram.com/[email protected](Find her in The Joint for a Q&A session on Saturday, Nov 1, 2025)1:1 Coaching with Ron — Now Inside The Jointhttps://jawhacks.com/coachingJawHacks Newsletter (Substack)https://substack.com/@jawhacksAnd More on the Websitehttps://jawhacks.com/Timestamps0:00 Intro3:41 MARPE Treatment in Children4:56 Age Considerations for MARPE6:15 Custom MARPE for Children10:58 Laboratory Collaboration17:57 Cranial Osteopathy and MARPE27:17 Face Mask Techniques34:33 Surgical Considerations39:20 FME device44:24 Innovative Approaches and Techniques48:23 No Diastema protocol50:58 Managing Asymmetry in Patients51:32 Exercises and Techniques for Symmetry52:59 Placing and Aligning the Appliance55:17 Sharing Examples and Workflow1:08:05 Working with International Patients1:20:11 Case Study: MARPE and Face Mask1:31:02 ClosingNO MEDICAL OR DENTAL ADVICE.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Newaz and Dr. Jaffari — the world’s most experienced FME providers — about what really works, what fails, and the complications they’ve seen across nearly 100 cases. We look at success rates, asymmetry, and how FME compares to custom MARPE, with Dr. Newaz sharing his own 8–9mm expansion results and CBCT analysis. We also explore the new FMA Protraction device, post-surgery expansion challenges, pricing debates, and the key question: when should you expand before jaw surgery versus doing a segmental LeFort?Dr. Newaz & Dr. Jaffari Social Mediahttps://www.youtube.com/@airwayorthohttps://www.instagram.com/dr.jaffari.ddshttps://www.instagram.com/drnewazzzAll GIFs courtesy of Shuikai https://www.reddit.com/r/UARSnew/1:1 Coaching with Ron — Now Inside The Jointhttps://jawhacks.com/coachingJawHacks Newsletter (Substack)https://substack.com/@jawhacksAnd More on the Websitehttps://jawhacks.com/Timestamps00:00:00 - Dr. Newaz's 9mm expansion results and facial changes00:00:31 - Ron introduces FME technology and episode overview00:04:10 - Defining success and failure across 98 FME cases00:13:03 - How many failures to split?00:21:01 - Who benefits aesthetically from midface expansion?00:26:30 - FME vs custom MARPE clinical comparison00:31:23 - Septum avoidance and preventing asymmetry with guide rods00:38:19 - Lab planning process and final doctor approval00:47:17 - Why turning protocols have slowed down dramatically00:53:51 - How many cases had no corticotomy at all?01:01:18 - Is pterygoid maxillary release necessary with FME?01:06:41 - Using another MARPE to correct prior asymmetry01:17:55 - Dr. Newaz's CBCT analysis and superimposition walkthrough01:29:22 - True cheekbone enhancement without implants01:33:03 - How long did 9mm expansion actually take?01:44:35 - Nasal resistance spectrum and empty nose syndrome risk01:57:11 - Segmental LeFort vs midface expansion02:09:39 - Can you do MARPE after jaw surgery?02:14:22 - Soft tissue aesthetic improvement02:22:27 - Plan for the mandible and considerations on condyle stability02:31:37 - Why did Dr. Newaz go this far with expansion?02:34:48 - Pushing boundaries in the expansion space02:42:11 - Listening to educated patients as part of the treatment team02:47:39 - First look at the FMA protraction device02:52:37 - MRI results show Dr. Newaz's jaw joint is healing03:00:34 - FMA Device Deep Dive: Components and Mechanics03:07:58 - Patients building their own DIY protraction devices03:08:47 - Clinical potential and workflow for the FMA device03:14:42 - A discussion on the cost of FME appliance03:22:46 - US healthcare frustrations and goal of making treatment accessible03:27:02 - Ron shares his personal story of being priced out of jaw surgery03:32:45 - The major risks and challenges of expanding after jaw surgery03:40:25 - Where to find Dr. Newaz and Dr. Jaffari onlineNO MEDICAL OR DENTAL ADVICE.

Dr. Kuljic is an airway focused dentist who invited Ron to talk after they met at Dr. Lipkin's PIEZO Course in September. He has lots to share on the importance of environment for jaw growth, specifically diet, snipping tongue ties early, importance of nutrient quality in foods & breastfeeding. He also talks about how fixing structure is important, but without improving the myofunctional habits afterwards, it's only a half success. Sleep hygiene, patient experiences with expansion & more are also discussed.
