EP 21: Airway-Centered Orthodontics and Low Tech Living: Root Cause Wellness with Dr. Maureen Kuhta
Description
In this episode, Julianne sits down with Dr. Maureen Kuhta, pediatric orthodontist and founder of Aligned House of Orthodontics in Metro Detroit. But this conversation goes far beyond teeth.
We dive into airway-centered orthodontics, the connection between breathing and brain development, and how jaw structure affects sleep, behavior, and growth. Dr. Kuhta shares her holistic approach to treating children, including the role of tongue ties, mouth breathing, and posture in lifelong wellness.
Dr. Kuhta also shares her journey of moving her family to a 12-acre farm, her low-tech parenting philosophy, and how she cultivates resilience, stillness, and curiosity in her four children. This one’s part science, part motherhood, and all heart.
