The first episode of our new series Ortho Takes is here!! Board-certified orthodontist Dr. Zach Pitcher (University of Pittsburgh, Jolley Smiles Orthodontics) joins Ortho Takes to share his spiciest opinions on the field. From calling airway orthodontics the “essential oil of dentistry” to questioning trends that overpromise and underdeliver, Dr. Pitcher opens up about what really matters in patient care, how the specialty gets distracted, and why critical thinking is more valuable than hype.
