Lecture Titles:

1. The Face and Occlusion of a Bad Airway: Growth Restriction, Compensation and Esthetic Decline

2. Orthognathic Surgery: when it doesn’t turn out right and why

3. Soft Tissue Sleep Apnea: A Reason Why Hard Tissue Interventions Fail

Healthy faces work as a balanced system. This system includes the jaws, joints, teeth, periodontium, lips, cheeks, and tongue. Each part of the system influences another. The way we breathe, speak, and chew influences skeletal growth. Unhealthy growth patterns can lead to future breakdown of the system early and late in life.

In this three day course we will:

• Define a healthy system

• Identify what contributes to unhealthy growth patterns we see every day in our practices

• Learn how breathing habits and oral myofunctional disorders play a role in unhealthy growth patterns

• Recognize unhealthy skeletal growth patterns including: 

  • Crossbites

  • Gummy smiles

  • Deficient lower jaws

  • Deficient upper jaws

  • TMJ breakdown

  • Open bites

• Learn treatment strategies for young and old patients with these various skeletal growth patterns

  • Treatment strategies will include early and late orthodontic intervention, TAD expanders, jaw surgery, and supporting therapies that move our patients towards health
