Did you know that crowded teeth and bedwetting in children could be signs of a bigger issue? 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.


Tune in to discover:


  • The alarming impact of sleep apnea on children's behavior, cognitive function, and oral health
  • How early intervention and palate expansion can prevent future complications and promote proper jaw development
  • The surprising benefits of breastfeeding and a non-soft diet for jaw growth in infants
  • Why tooth extraction for braces is an outdated practice, and the healthier alternative of expanding the jaws
  • Practical tips for adults to address sleep apnea and improve airway space through orthodontic appliances

  • Don't miss this eye-opening discussion that challenges traditional orthodontic approaches and empowers you to be an advocate for your family's health. 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.
