Introduce the Concept(Elevator Speech)

• Your Elevator Speech•“I notice your child has…”• “Did you know that we can… “• “There is a way that we can help…”•“If you would like us to do an assessment of his/her problem, we can sit and talk about how it will benefit him/her. Can we make an appointment?”

• Myobrace “Soft Tissue Dysfunction” card laminated• Toothberg laminated• Myobrace brochure• Rubber dentoform (www.kilgoreinternational.com, Item I21D-400G, $174.)

Case Selection Checklist

Good Cases to Start with:Age: a compliant 6-10 year oldChief Concern: Crooked teeth. Wants alternative to braces.Medical History: Mild airway-related dysfunctions. Use caution

with a major medical and respiratory history or refer first.

Body Form: Avoid extreme postural deformity, eg. scoliosisBody Function:

Facial Form: Indicator line less than 10mm excessFacial Function: (That’s why you’re here!)

Intraoral Form: Avoid extreme crowding or overjetIntraoral Function: Frenectomy? MFT back up.


Patient List

Name Age Date of Exam Result


Informed Consent

• Informed Consent• Myobrace is a good first step• May need further treatment

• Myofunctional therapy• ENT/Allergy/Pulmonology• Orthodontics

• Give options • Have a back up plan...


Backup Plans

1. BE PATIENT - This is not a quick fix. The body needs time to readjust. Watch for positive signs. Keep dialogue with patient and parent.

2. Find a Myofunctional Therapist. Just like school, some kids need private tutoring.

3. Find an Airway-conscious Orthodontist. Or train one. Or become one.

4. Be an airway-conscious Dentist. The more you identify at the start, the more treatment options you’ll have.

George Catlin

• Lawyer, artist, amateur anthropologist•Documented native populations in North and South America• The health of native tribes deteriorated after introduction to modern ways

•Whisky and sugar

•1870

•“Shut Your Mouth and Save Your Life”• Book recommended by Edward Angle in 1925


George Catlin

•The cause of modern man’s maladies is his lack of “a quiet and natural sleep”.

•Proper breathing regulates digestion and circulation to every part of the body.

•Improper breathing brings imbalance and disease.

•The nostrils are intended to measure and temper the air in support of proper breathing.


George Catlin

On mouth breathing at night:

“That man knows not the pleasure of sleep; he rises in the morning more fatigued than when he retired to rest - takes pills and remedies through the day, and renews his disease every night.”


Alfred P. Rogers

•Angle School, 1903•taught at Harvard•private practice in Boston •past president of the AAO•total-child approach and advocated muscular exercises to improve neck, head, and tongue posture and encourage nasal breathing •treated many so-called “skeletal Class II” cases ONLY with exercise.

1873-1959


“Our teachers have recognized the importance of muscular pressure in its

normal conduct as well as in its abnormal conduct, but here we seem to have

stopped, assuming that with the correction of the faulty osseous formation and cusp

relation, nature, somehow or other, would establish the correct muscular tone and

muscular habits…”

Alfred P. Rogers, 1918 to the A.S.OAlfred P. Rogers, 1918 to the A.S.O

Tom Graber

AJO, 1963“The Three M’s:

Muscles, Malformation, and Malocclusion

The Two Groups of Disciples:Edward Angle: Edgewise Expansionists

Calvin Case: Extractionists

This tooth-focused battle rages on even today.....Must take muscles into account...

1917-2007


Tom Graber

•…they ignored “the balancing effect of contiguous muscle on the role of growth and development”

•“…muscle plays a dominant role, affecting our manipulations whether we like it or not”.

•“controlling abnormal perio-oral muscle function” crucial in treatment

•Homeostasis, postural rest position, the effect of function on the teeth and bones.

1917-2007


Walter StraubDaniel Garliner

Bernie FogelWalter J. Straub, orthodontist: Included speech therapists as the

best people to do myofuncitonal therpy for orthodontic patients.

Daniel Garliner: created training and routine for MFT for orthodontic patients

Lesson #3Don’t be a Barker


Lesson #3:Don’t be a Barker

Step back from the teeth

Start by looking at the personand work your way in.


Lesson #4:The Missing Link...

It’s not justGrowth and Development

It’sGrowth, Development and

AdaptationSunday, January 19, 14

Regarding Adaptation:The Maxilla is the key.


Lesson #5:The Context Changes

If the Etiology is centered in the muscles, then the treatment is, too.

Muscle-CentricVs.

Tooth-Centric



1. Level and Align the Teeth2. Correct the Bite3. Match the Jaw Size or Position4. Improve the Profile5. Refer for Tongue Thrust Therapy6. Relieve Joint Dysfunction7. Permanent Retention

Tooth-Centric Tx Goals



1. Breathing through the nose2. Lips together at rest3. Correct tongue position4. No mentalis activity on swallowing5. Optimal facial development6. Class I occlusion7. Straight teeth8. No retainers required

Muscle-Centric Tx Goals


Lesson #6:Dentistry is Medicine

•The separation is political (for good reason) but may be coming to an end•The dentist as oral physician•Broaden your view.....


Dentistry is Medicine

•Early Feeding, Nutrition and muscular development

•Tight Frena and Early Nutrition

•Posture, musculo-skeletal-cranial stress and facial growth

•Breathing, Airway and Apnea

•Soft Tissue Dysfunctions, Habits and malocclusion

Lesson #7:It’s NOT about the Trainer


It’s not about the Trainer…

It’s about the Training


Lesson #7A:It’s not about YOU

•11/5/10 Feedback from my office manager on MRC

“You’ve been getting a little tough on kids. I hear you losing your temper especially with the MRC kids. I know you’re passionate about this technique, but it’s not sitting well with the kids or their mothers especially.

You said “You have to wear it because it’s going to make you more beautiful and the mother said but she’s already beautiful””

Problem > Cooperation is a major factor in the success of the case. Solution > Encourage cooperation in a positive, upbeat way without offending the kids or Mom’s. It’s good to set expectations for cooperation from the beginning. Have ways of evaluating cooperation without the judgementalness.


Lesson #8:I have a mission

Our care of children is not complete until we, as dentists, gain a broader view of facial growth and help them achieve not only straight teeth, but also beautiful faces, which they have a right to enjoy.


Our care of children is not complete until we, as dentists, gain a broader view of facial growth and help them achieve not only straight teeth, but also beautiful faces, which they have a right to enjoy.

“Our guardianship of little children is not complete until we, as orthodontists, gain a broad conception of the scope of our science, and minister to the young under our care until their faces represent not only the ideal from the standpoint of the function of mastication, but also the ideal of perfection in contour and strength which it is their right to enjoy.”

Lesson #6:I have a mission

Alfred P. Rogers, 1918. Sunday, January 19, 14

Lesson #1:There is Nothing New

Alfred P. Rogers, 1918.
