In this episode of The Healthy Sleep Revolution, we speak with Dr. Robert Kerstein, prosthodontist and leading authority in computerized occlusal analysis, about how bite alignment and jaw function can interfere with sleep quality. We explore how excessive tooth contact and poor disclusion can overactivate swallowing and airway-related muscles, gradually narrowing the airway and contributing to non-restorative sleep, clenching, grinding, headaches, and facial tension.

We also discuss why bite-related sleep issues are so often overlooked in standard dental exams and medical evaluations. Dr. Kerstein explains why primary care providers, neurologists, and even many dentists may miss the connection, and how traditional bite assessment tools fail to capture the timing, force, and friction patterns that drive neuromuscular overload and sleep disruption.

Finally, we walk through what patients can do if they experience grinding, jaw soreness, morning headaches, or restless sleep. Dr. Kerstein outlines how computerized bite analysis using T-Scan and EMG can identify whether bite alignment is contributing to symptoms, what the Disclusion Time Reduction process looks like, and why working with a properly trained provider is essential for meaningful, lasting results. What You Will Learn

• How an unhealthy bite or jaw alignment can interfere with airway function and sleep

• Why headaches, TMJ symptoms, facial tension, and poor sleep often share a common bite-related cause

• Why bite problems affecting sleep are frequently missed in dental and medical settings

• What computerized bite analysis reveals that traditional methods cannot

• The most important first step in determining whether bite alignment is contributing to sleep disruption

About Dr. Robert B. Kerstein Dr. Robert B. Kerstein earned his D.M.D. in 1983 and his Prosthodontic certificate in 1985 from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where he later served as a clinical professor of Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics for 13 years. Beginning in 1984, he has studied every generation of T-Scan technology, from the original T-Scan I to the current T-Scan 10 Novus, and over the past four decades has become the leading authority in Computerized Occlusal Analysis. Dr. Kerstein has published extensively in leading dental journals and edited nine research volumes on T-Scan applications. A pioneer and academic advocate for digital occlusal technology, he teaches a measured, data-driven approach that improves bite-related treatment outcomes, enhances patient comfort, reduces prosthesis failure and remakes, and shortens overall treatment time.

In this episode of the Healthy Sleep Revolution podcast, we sit down with Dr. Leslie Pasco, a general dentist with over 25 years of clinical experience who has dedicated her career to early airway intervention in children. Our conversation explores why sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) often begin far earlier than most families and providers realize, and how modern lifestyle changes have contributed to what Dr. Pasco describes as a global "small jaw pandemic." We discuss why waiting until adulthood to address airway issues is too late, and how prevention-focused care can fundamentally change long-term health outcomes.

We dive into the early signs and symptoms of pediatric SRBD, including chronic mouth breathing, snoring, bedwetting, poor sleep quality, and ADHD-like behaviors such as inattention, hyperactivity, and emotional dysregulation. Dr. Pasco explains how compromised breathing and sleep can impact a child's neurocognitive development, behavior, and ability to thrive both academically and socially. We also explore why crowded teeth and facial growth patterns are not merely cosmetic concerns, but important indicators of airway restriction and functional imbalance.

Finally, we explore the role of myofunctional therapy and early, non-invasive intervention through MyoWay Centers for Kids, which Dr. Pasco founded to focus exclusively on airway-centered pediatric care. She shares how guiding jaw growth, correcting oral muscle function, and addressing mouth breathing during critical developmental windows can dramatically improve sleep, behavior, and overall health. This episode is a powerful reminder that children do not need to "grow out of" sleep and breathing issues — with the right awareness and collaboration, we can intervene early and change the trajectory of a child's life. What You Will Learn:

• Early signs and symptoms of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) in children

• How mouth breathing and poor jaw development affect sleep, behavior, and brain function

• The connection between pediatric SRBD and ADHD-like symptoms

• Why early intervention is critical for healthy neurocognitive development

• How myofunctional therapy supports airway health and facial growth

• The mission and model behind MyoWay Centers for Kids

About Dr. Leslie Pasco

With over 25 years of experience as a general dentist, healthcare consultant, and professional speaker, Dr. Leslie Pasco has witnessed firsthand the widespread impact of underdeveloped jaws and restricted airways. After treating hundreds of thousands of patients, she recognized a growing public health issue linked to mouth breathing, poor jaw development, and sleep-related breathing disorders. As a trained orofacial myologist and certified Buteyko Breathing Instructor, Dr. Pasco now dedicates her work to early, preventive care for children.

Driven by research showing that airway dysfunction in childhood is connected to ADHD-like symptoms, poor sleep, and long-term health risks, Dr. Pasco founded MyoWay Centers for Kids.

In this episode of Healthy Sleep Revolution, we challenge one of the most common misconceptions in sleep medicine: that weight loss alone can resolve sleep apnea. We explain why this belief is scientifically incomplete and often leads to frustration and self-blame for patients. Many individuals with sleep apnea are not obese, including children, athletes, and women undergoing hormonal changes, which highlights that body weight is not the primary driver of disordered breathing during sleep.

We break down the critical role of airway anatomy and physiology, including jaw position, palate structure, tongue posture, nasal obstruction, muscle tone, and chronic mouth breathing. We also explore the bi-directional relationship between sleep apnea and metabolic dysfunction, showing how fragmented sleep can worsen insulin resistance, hormonal balance, inflammation, and energy regulation, even independent of weight. At the same time, metabolic instability can further impair airway stability and sleep quality.

What you will learn:

• Why sleep apnea is not simply a weight-related condition

• How airway anatomy drives obstructive sleep apnea

• The connection between fragmented sleep and metabolic dysfunction

• Why calorie restriction alone rarely resolves sleep apnea

• How airway-first treatment supports metabolic and sleep health

In this episode, we dive into a conversation every parent, teacher, and clinician needs to hear: how screens, posture, mouth breathing, and airway development are all deeply connected. While most discussions focus on blue light and screen limits, we explore how modern tech habits are quietly reshaping children's facial growth and long-term sleep health.

We break down how forward head posture and constant downward gazing narrow the airway, encourage mouth breathing, and interfere with deep, restorative sleep. We also explain how poor tongue posture and underdeveloped palates contribute to sleep-disordered breathing and why today's tech neck can become tomorrow's airway compromise.

We also unpack the powerful overlap between sleep deprivation and ADHD-like symptoms in children. Many behaviors labeled as attention or behavioral issues may actually be signs of fragmented sleep and restricted breathing. Most importantly, we share simple, practical steps families can start using immediately to protect their child's airway, sleep, and development. What you will learn:

• How screen posture directly impacts airway space and breathing

• Why mouth breathing changes facial growth and narrows the palate

• The role of tongue posture in healthy airway development

• How sleep deprivation can mimic ADHD symptoms

• The three main ways screens disrupt sleep quality

• Early warning signs of airway and sleep issues in children

• Practical steps parents can start using right away

In this episode of the Healthy Sleep Revolution Podcast, Dr. Meghna Dassani breaks down one of the biggest, and most overlooked, disruptors of modern sleep: screens.

We all know we should put our phones away before bed, but few people understand why it matters so much. Dr. Dassani explains how blue light, digital overstimulation, notifications, and nighttime scrolling impact melatonin, cortisol, airway stability, and your nervous system's ability to shift into deep, restorative sleep.

You'll learn:

• How blue light signals your brain that it's daytime

• Why melatonin drops and cortisol rises with screen use

• What "social jet lag" is and why your nervous system thinks you flew from Houston to Tokyo

• How late-night scrolling worsens snoring and sleep apnea

• The link between digital dopamine hits and a hyperactive nervous system

• The real science on EMFs and sleep

• Simple, practical device rules for families

• The 90-minute "digital sunset" Dr. Dassani teaches in her practice

Plus, Dr. Dassani shares her favourite screen-time hacks: warm lighting, bedroom boundaries, charging baskets, and behavioural shifts that turn chaotic evenings into calmer nights for the whole family.

If your nights feel restless, your mornings feel punishing, or you suspect technology is taking a toll on your sleep, this episode will give you the tools you need to take back your evenings — one habit at a time. About Dr. Meghna Dassani

In today's enlightening episode of The Healthy Sleep Revolution, Dr. Meghna Dassani sits down with Dr. Nimisha Somaiya, the heart behind Seva Dental in Bellbrook, Ohio. With a unique blend of clinical expertise and a deeply personal journey into sleep-disordered breathing, Dr. Somaiya shares how incorporating sleep medicine into her dental practice has transformed not only her own life and her family's health—but is now changing the lives of her patients as well.

This isn't just a conversation about straight teeth—it's about functional dentistry and how something as seemingly cosmetic as Invisalign can have life-changing impacts when used with intention. You'll discover how airway-focused dentistry plays a vital role in supporting proper tongue posture, creating space for better breathing, and ultimately helping to address conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

In this episode, you'll learn:

- Why crowding of the teeth isn't just an aesthetic issue—it's an airway issue

- How functional orthodontics like Invisalign can create space for the tongue and improve breathing

- The importance of proper tongue posture and ideal oral resting posture

- Why snoring, grinding, and bedwetting in kids should never be ignored

- The variety of effective treatment options available beyond CPAP therapy

- How dental professionals can be key allies in identifying and treating sleep apnea

Top 3 Takeaways from Dr. Somaiya:

- Parents, pay attention to your child's sleep habits – Snoring, grinding, and hyperactivity are warning signs, not phases they'll "grow out of."

- Don't ignore a sleep apnea diagnosis – If CPAP isn't working for you, there are alternatives like oral appliance therapy that can help you breathe and sleep better.

- Be your own advocate – If your doctor isn't taking your symptoms seriously, keep pushing. Find a provider who listens and offers solutions tailored to your needs.
