In this insightful episode, Courtney Bursich sits down with Dr. Blaine Leeds, a leading expert in airway-focused orthodontics, to uncover the often-overlooked connection between sleep, jaw development, and overall health. Dr. Leeds, a pioneer in his field, has dedicated his career to helping patients breathe better and achieve optimal well-being through innovative techniques.

You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between sleep, breathing, and jaw development, and the tools to make informed decisions for a lifetime of well-being.
