Slick VanArsdall, Vince Kokich, and Jeff Rouse had on Becca’s approach to interceptive orthodontic treatment.\nThe need to reframe our mission and the purpose of early orthodontic intervention.\nThe possible reasons why many orthodontic residents receive little to no training in interceptive treatment.\nThe value of CBCT in determining the etiology of the malocclusion.\nThe importance of focusing on the transverse dimension.\nWhy it is essential to focus on the overall health of our patients and not just their teeth.\nThe importance of developing an interdisciplinary team of colleagues within your community.\nThe challenges associated with obtaining a sleep study on a child and the potential flaws of the data gathered.\nStudies that show snoring alone (not OSA) can lead to learning deficits and decreases in gray matter.\nWhich sleep study Becca uses for her patients and at what timepoints she has them fill it out.\nPossible reasons why Phase I treatment has historically received a bad rap and what can be done to reframe that image.\nThe need to dispel the notion that orthodontists who address pediatric airway are diagnosing and treating sleep apnea.\nThe basis for the AAO selecting 7-years-old as the age at which patients should first see the orthodontist.\nWhat the future holds for the profession of orthodontics, especially as it pertains to interceptive treatment and airway.\nLINKS\n-Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Pediatric-Sleep-Questionnaire_fig1_347054293 \n-Ferris 6 Sleep Study: https://www.fairest.org/tools/\n-Rethinking Rhinoplasty – Howard Stupak:...","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}
