Jeffrey Hindin and Jill Meyer, who are pioneering a whole-health approach to dentistry that addresses the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms.\n \nKey Topics Discussed:\n• Building an etiology-focused practice that treats underlying causes, not just symptoms\n• Early orthodontic intervention and airway-focused care in children\n• The significant overlap between TMD and sleep-disordered breathing \n• Heart rate variability (HRV) and objective physiologic measurements in treatment\n• Oral appliances for athletic performance enhancement\n• Common signs of sleep disorders in children and adults\n• Navigating resistance from traditional orthodontic approaches\n• The future of sleep medicine, including emerging pharmacological treatments\n \nKey Takeaways:\nEarly intervention in children can prevent the need for invasive treatments and sleep appliances in adulthood\nMouth breathing is a critical early indicator of sleep-disordered breathing and should not be dismissed\nThe airway affects the autonomic nervous system, impacting everything from athletic performance to mental health\nDepression and anxiety are the #1 comorbidities associated with sleep-related breathing disorders\nOrthodontists are uniquely positioned to prevent adult TMD and sleep issues through early treatment\nTreatment should focus on normalizing anatomy and addressing root causes, not just straightening teeth\n Resources Mentioned:\nHindin Center: https://hindincenter.com/\nAmerican Academy of Physiological Medicine and Dentistry: https://aapmd.org/\nAAPMD Collaboration Cures Meeting: May 15-16 in Pittsburgh\n Connect with Dr. Mike:\nWebsite: https://theorthocoach.com/\nEmail: dr.mike@theorthocoach.com\nJoin The DOC Community on Facebook for more great content and discussions: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Cb9rkQVde/\nCheck out the DOC CE Courses: https://theorthocoach.com/ce-courses/\n **If you found value...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Wf6VIMhB_ulpfJzsJlix0BOF0i4W9yk8xxJ6-5X1Y6E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxOTI3LzE2OTg2/MzExNDktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
