In this episode I walk you through my protocol in how to restore health and esthetics to a patient with a severely retruded lower jaw with sleep disordered breathing
The indisputable connection between retruded lower jaws, sleep disordered breathing, and Behavioral issues in children, i.e., (ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression)
We talk about the many ways that bone can be moved, jaws can be advanced, teeth can be advanced, and bites can be changed for improved esthetics and to eliminate pain and a poor airway.
Functional Dentistry should be a discipline, like with functional medicine, where we look at causation of the issues pertaining to crowded teeth, retruded lower jaws, TMJ, sleep disordered breathing, etc..
What I would do to the dental school curriculums starting tomorriw to improve public health, relieve chronic pain, and to insure more properly developed faces.
