This week’s episode is a re-release of an interview with my first guest on The DOC Podcast - Dr. Jeff Rothenberg! Our audience has grown so much since this was released back in June 2023 that I wanted to give everyone a chance to hear our amazing conversation!

SUMMARY:

Don't miss this amazing interview with Dr. Jeff Rothenberg!  Jeff is an orthodontist who has an awesome practice in his hometown of Aventura, FL.  He has been developing the arches of preadolescent patients in the early mixed dentition for approximately 10 years and not only has he seen some amazing results, but it has grown his practice significantly.  We discuss:

o   The etiology of dental crowding and why we see so much crowding at such a young age.

o   The role of airway in the development of dental crowding in preadolescent patients.

o   The questions to ask parents to determine if their child has sleep-disordered breathing.

o   How to comfortably and efficiently expand the arches of preadolescent patients in the early mixed dentition without using expanders.

o   How to present this unique approach to patients and parents and how to implement it into your practice.

o   How to dramatically decrease the severity and duration of Phase II treatment by using this unique approach in Phase I.

o   How to set your practice apart from your colleagues by providing a service others aren’t offering.

o   How taking this unique approach to Phase I treatment will both grow your practice and change patients’ lives.

o   How using digital technology such as LightForce can further simplify the placement of Phase I braces by increasing efficiency, maximizing patient comfort, and improving treatment results.
