The DOC Podcast

Don’t miss this amazing conversation with Dr. Jeremy Manuele.  Jeremy is a private practice orthodontist, a part-time faculty member at UNLV, and the creator of the MARPE 360 CE course.  In this episode, we discuss:
  • The flaws with the current pediatric AHI scale and classification of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
  • The importance of differentiating OSA from sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
  • The reason why the orthodontist, not the pediatrician, should be the quarterback of sleep-related breathing issues in pediatric patients.
  • The reasons why so few orthodontists come out of residency understanding Phase I treatment, airway, or how to collaborate with our medical colleagues. 
  • The 2017 ADA policy statement and the 2019 AAO White Paper on pediatric airway and orthodontics.
  • The importance of bridging the gap between medicine and dentistry regarding the diagnosis and treatment of SDB.
  • The flaws with the opinion article in the December 2023 AJODO saying that orthodontists should not be involved in treating younger children with the goal of improving airway patency.
  • The importance of having open discussions and debates on the topic of airway and orthodontics.
  • The role private practice orthodontists can play in bridging the gap between private/clinical practice and academia.
  • The three types of expansion that we typically see when applying force to widen the maxilla. 
  • What MARPE is, when it is indicated, how it can benefit your patients, and how it differs from SARPE.
  • The primary reasons why Jeremy created his MARPE 360 course.
