In this episode, I’m joined by airway-centered dentist and Toothpillow co-founder Dr. Kalli Hale to unpack one of the biggest misconceptions in pediatric airway care:
➡️ That a guidance appliance alone can "fix" the problem.
We dive into the truth about the Toothpillow model—what it is, what it’s not, and why true, lasting growth requires more than just passive tools.
Dr. Hale shares:
-Why myofunctional therapy is an essential part of guided growth
-The difference between muscle-based shaping and true skeletal expansion
-How early intervention can support natural development—when done the right way
-What parents and providers often misunderstand about the role of appliances
-How the Toothpillow team integrates therapy, appliance support, and provider collaboration to get real results
Whether you’re confused about guidance appliances, skeptical about virtual care, or simply curious how myo and dental work can come together before problems arise—this episode will give you clarity.
