Traditional orthodontics has primarily focused on aligning teeth, often overlooking the broader impact on facial and airway development.
But this is quickly changing, with more and more orthodontists embracing their rightful roles as gatekeepers for sleep-disordered breathing.
In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Ilya Lipkin as we peel back the layers on why traditional orthodontic techniques are due for an update, especially when it comes to treating adult patients.
Dr. Lipkin has developed groundbreaking methods for palatal expansion in adults. His approach is less invasive and more patient-friendly, aimed at improving both dental aesthetics and airway health.
It's not just about straightening teeth; it's about breathing better, sleeping better, and ultimately living better.
Stay tuned and learn more from this pioneer, great clinician, and innovator.
