In this brief lecture clip, Dr. Rebecca Bockow points to some telltale signs of problematic dental development including the presence of mamelons (small bumps on the ridges of the teeth) on older children. In this case, the signs reveal an airway difficulty that the child has had to compensate for through consistent mouth breathing throughout her young life.

In this brief lecture clip, Dr. Rebecca Bockow shares an interesting perspective on how the bone structure of the upper and lower jaw may affect a patient's tongue posture and airway negatively, even if the teeth appear to be acceptably positioned.

In this brief lecture clip, Dr. Rebecca Bockow demonstrates the remarkable results possible for children with severely crowded teeth when treated with early jaw expansion techniques. Note that the final position of the patients teeth shown has been achieved without the use of braces or clear aligners.

Learn about the stunning study in which 80% of involved children changed their breathing pattern from mouth to nasal breathing, and 50% saw a decrease in instances of colds, respiratory infections, nasal allergies, and asthma. In this video Dr. Bockow discusses the treatment that achieved these incredible results: Rapid Maxillary Expansion.

Kids sometimes develop oral habits in their early years that can have serious ramifications on their dental health. As Dr. Bockow explains, pacifier use and thumb-sucking are primary examples of habits that can linger after early childhood and contribute to the development of poor tongue posture and lead to an open bite.

Join Dr. Bockow for a brief explanation of Myofunctional Therapy - a perhaps surprisingly effective method for reducing AHI, an index of sleep apnea events per night. This interesting therapy focuses on exercises targeting the lips, tongue, and oral structures in order to strengthen the associated muscles, improve tongue posture, and promote nasal breathing.
