Beyond Straight Teeth: Rethinking Orthodontic Orthodoxy (w/Dr. Barry Raphael) [Ep.108]
Description
In this episode of The DOC Podcast, I dive into a fascinating discussion with Dr. Barry Raphael, an esteemed orthodontist who has revolutionized treatments to address airway-centered dysfunctions.
Together, we explore the importance of early intervention in pediatric airway health, the critical role of soft tissue function in malocclusion, and how multidisciplinary approaches can enhance patient outcomes.
The conversation touches upon the resistance within the profession to embrace new paradigms and offers insights into how orthodontists and other dental professionals can evolve their practices to better serve patients holistically.
