Nose to Navel: Sleep Better, Smile Better

Description: Patients whose malocclusion is corrected find that they breathe better, chew better, and sleep better, which ultimately allows them to smile better. This webinar offers clinicians guidance on incorporating expansive orthodontics as part of clear aligner therapy.

Disclosure: Dr. Smith has received an honorarium from ClearCorrect for his preparation and presentation of this program.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain how clear aligner therapy allows orthopedic changes to take place during treatment of malocclusion.
• Discuss the links between malocclusion and sleep disordered breathing, joint pain, muscle pain, GERD and a host of other health problems spanning from nose to navel.
• Describe how expansive orthodontics, when used to treat malocclusion, can help patients improve their psychological health by reducing social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
