Orthotown December 2021 - 24

Your patient demographic
is unique; your practice centers
around adults. Why is that?
Where I practice, many pediatric dentists
already have an orthodontist in-house, so for
my practice to thrive, I needed to find some
way to get new patients. It just so happened
that my previous history with adults made
me very comfortable treating adults in a way
that most orthodontists aren't.
I love kids, but the more adults I treated,
the more I realized the profound impact it
had on their lives and their appreciation for
it in a way that kids simply don't have. For
instance, when I ask a 12-year-old whose
braces are about to come off, " How do you
like your smile? " their typical answer is, " I
don't know. I really don't look. " When I
ask an adult the same question, they beam
and tell me how much I've changed their
life. That's what keeps me going every day.
I also love treating surgical interdisciplinary
cases with my local oral surgeon. It's so
exciting when you can make skeletal changes
and help enhance someone's self-esteem,

facial changes and their ability to breathe
in a way that orthodontics alone cannot
accomplish.
Your practice isn't completely
adult patients, though. You
have a certain vantage on
airways in children, especially.
A lot of people have been talking about
airway and sleep in kids and adults. Many
are treating it in unscientific ways; I just can't
endorse that. However, if you look at the
scientific literature at respected institutions
such as Stanford, you start to see that many
people are walking among us suffering
because they have poor sleep.
In children, it has been demonstrated
scientifically that if they don't sleep well,
there is a cognitive deficit that never recovers.
So we have to be prudent in the way we
approach this process and treat it scientifically-and,
more importantly, as part of
an interdisciplinary team. I always say that
anyone who tells you they can solve all of
somebody's airway problems by themselves
