Joined by Dr. Audrey Yoon, Dr. Jeremy Manuele, Dr. Ryan Tamburrino, and Dr. Sanjivan Kandasamy, this episode brings together differing clinical perspectives to explore what the science actually supports, where the evidence is evolving, and where claims may be running ahead of the data. The discussion unpacks common questions around expansion, sleep-disordered breathing, interdisciplinary care, and the role orthodontists should—or should not—play in managing airway-related conditions. With an emphasis on intellectual honesty, professional responsibility, and patient-centered care, this episode challenges listeners to think critically, avoid oversimplification, and engage in thoughtful dialogue as the specialty continues to grapple with airway-focused treatment claims and education.
