As a gastro surgeon told me recently, "every surgeon is different"

Amazing podcast

I love that you have Dr Cheng on again, he is amazing~!!!

Just watching, this is amazing!! How do we get into see him?

How do you upright the lower teeth if they are inclined before the expansion when you are done with expansion?

Depends on the sutures too. Not everyone’s skeletal sutures mature at the same rate through adulthood, some are more resistant to changes because the sutures are more tightly “locked”.

What is the pod that he is referring to? Im also curious about the homeoblock, is there a list of providers anywhere? Love this interview, fascinating ❤

where are we at with this type of surgery in Canada. I am 59 with a narrow upper jaw and recessed lower jaw. recommended SARPE then braces > upper jaw surgery> braces then lower jaw surgery and more braces. I am in Alberta

After my first home sleep test, I was told I had moderate sleep apnea, buy a cpap, and get to it. No guidance provided. It was horrible and I put the thing in the closet for a year. Then I developed PACs and AFib so needed to try to figure out how to use the cpap. Started with a clinic overnight study. Just the basics were done, no sleep analysis except for noting OSA events etc. Told again use it, try this and that face mask and the best of "luck" to you. Zoom ahead to today. I can only use a nasal pillow, have flow limitation issues, and on my side I have zero OAs but many CAs through out the night with curves jagged and flat at the top. I wake every 2 hours and am not getting any good sleep. There are a lot of us out there that either give up or self teach hoping to find an answer eventually. My heart's condition keeps me from putting that machine back in the closet. As Nicole once said, "HELP".

Unlike Nicole, I am using CPAP with the nasal pillow and after 3 months I am more tired now than I was before and recently developed AFib and PACs.

This is me, exactly like Nicole!! Thank you for sharing. I've also got recessed jaws. I'm so sad, this airway issue has ruined my life for so long and completed debilitated me for 15 yrs. But I'm so glad to finally know what's going on with me. Is it a good idea to take out premolars to do double jaw surgery? That's what they're telling me to do. Thanks

Take a look at pictures of adults practicing mewing. I can personally say that I've slightly widened my palate with my tongue, and my upper and lower teeth are closer to aligning. While I still have an open bite, it's significantly improved and much more symmetric now. Previously, my jaw really leaned leftward. I'm 38 years old now, and I started about 3-4 years ago

I think this is a bit conservative to act like it's a mystery about children... - there are studies -especially about children of Type 1s and how they are supplemented at 7 months and have cut out the expected development of Type 1 by 80%!!!!!

This completely leaves out the interaction with the Thyroid gland.... D converts T4 into T3 so that has to work as well.. it also leaves out the calming of the autoimmune responses that you get with Vit D...eliminating to tamping down most autoimmune disorders. so there's much more than Sleep Disorders

Will MIND change the shape of lips/smile due to muscle cutting after surgery? I don’t want my upper lip function to be restricted to affect my smile?

Will this change the shape of lips/smile due to muscle cutting after surgery? I don’t want my upper lip function to be restricted

Can the tip of the nose be slightly lifted because of the maxilla moving forward?

Love all this info! Amazing. Also, Nicole I love your interview style. You always ask the best questions and let the guest speak. ❤

I find it impossible to get the right help quick if all sorts of basic tests aren’t even thought of by many peoples health services. Our bodies aren’t ran with a system that signals we need specific amounts of certain vitamins. We rely on healthcare to offer such services to get to the basics of our personal situations.

Absolutely amazing podcast! Thank you Dr Evans for your insights and exciting work in this field.

Thanks for finally providing an answer as to why many Orthodontics’s patients are gaslit when they want to talk about surgery. Capitalism really creates problems for patients in the healthcare system in America. ☹️

I feel like orthopedic expansion is just palatal expansion period. I mean, if you don't expand the palate but instead you just tip the teeth, that's not really palatal expansion is it? It's kind of like say you have a patient who has an underbite, and rather than suggesting surgery as an option, someone were to say well I can camouflage your bite with orthodontics and it's going to look just as good if not BETTER than jaw surgery, and it'll move your bones, etc. and nobody will even be able to tell you had an underbite. I mean if that was the sales pitch, like that's not actually going to happen so to me it just is not legitimate. So a palatal expansion with no palatal expansion just kind of seems like the same kind of deal to me.

Is vitamin D deficiency connected to sleepwalking

Any idea why vit D makes me so tired the next day ?

The meaning of being a scientist is not to carry titles and positions, but to find real solutions for pains. This is the meaning, this is how you make people inspired, this is how you plan your research, this is how you admire your Mentors … and ultimately this is how you touch lives! Thanks for putting this together for us to watch after months… Respect, An inspired orthodontist! N.M.!

I listened to this once and now I’m on my second round. I pause and search the article and learn and study. The second round I’m in 40’ min and it took me two days. I only experienced such an immersion in a field by a scientist few times my entire life. What a talent and dedication Dr Liu. Thanks Airway circle for putting this together!

Great podcast! Could you help wirh advice for sleeping at night for my kids.. So our 5 and 3 year old when they sleep on their backs, have their mouths closed .. But in the middle of the night they go on their stomach and mouth breath.. When I’m awake, I manually turn them over but once I’m sleeping then that no longer can happen.. How can I stop them from going to their stomach and mouth breathing? I’m hesitant to put mouth tape on (especially for the 3 year old)… Any suggestions? Any and all ninja tips would help a lot! Thank you so much.

Are there tongue tie considerations with adult palatal expansion?

Teacher here! I see so many children at school with problems - mouth-breathers who cannot settle down in a lesson, 8 and 9 year olds who already have had retractive braces because of overbites from swallow / chewing problems and I honestly don't know how to approach parents. I don't feel I have any kind of authority. I wish this could be part of the initial teacher training.

Amazing

49:19 Did someone say Atrial Natriuretic Peptide 😉it's my favorite Scrabble word

So how can we ban braces? Is there a plan in place for this to occur?

When will all this airway knowledge become more mainstream is my concern . Until it’s not people won’t know they have an issue, and if there is treatment it will be scarce options and possibly expensive

Great interview!! You asked all my questions..... Awesome !

Two power houses in the airway field!

Wow you guys are on fire!

Please put timestamps

What is the cost of MIND??

Nicole, you mentioned you had MSC, what is that?

I wonder how this all changes when one is dealing with chronic infections like tick diseases? I’ve been in treatment since 2015.. I did a couple years of herbals which did not work and I nearly died multiple times. April 2018 I started on multiple antibiotics and improved but the antibiotics have to be changed up every several months bcs symptoms come back. I just retested with igenex spring 2023 and I’m still positive for borellia, babesia & Bartonella.. It has been incredibly challenging to know what to do to treat the infections as well as to identify and correct nutritional deficiencies that may be contributing, causing, or being caused by the pathogens or the treatment. I also had to realize all the symptoms being caused by all the plants I was eating. Now I just eat meat, raw butter, raw eggs, and full fat coconut milk and have improved considerably, but not fully healed yet. I’m sure that with daily antibiotics I just can’t get my gut flora back online appropriately. I really wish I could discover this info or work with a dr who knows about all these topics and issues!

You mentioned in one of your videos that you should be breathing DEEP, LIGHT AND SLOW. By deep, do you mean filling and removing ALL the air?

Thank you.

Hi There, I am 58 year old female and with a very narrow upper palate, over bite and underdeveloped lower jaw - was never offered braces as a kid and now seeing about braces - i am being told I need SARPE > braces > double jaw surgery LeForte - I live in Alberta Canada - is there any one doing this Minimally Invasive palate expansion ? Am I too old to pursue any of this very invasive surgery - all seems high risk for someone my age.

Does mind do posterior and anterior split?

Great information!! I'm a dental hygienist who just had double jaw surgery, a septoplasty and a bone graph. I've had ortho twice. Suffered from mouth breathing, an open bite and sleep apnea for years but was only diagnosed at age 46 with a birth defect that I didn't know I had, called hemifacial microsomia. After my MMA surgery so many health issues have improved. This was super informative and thank you for all that you both provided in this helpful session!!

B-50 seems like a questionable idea. The RDA of each B vitamin is different, but these pills just arbitrarily provide either 50 mg or 50 mcg of each, so for some like Biotin you get 167% of the RDA, and for others like Thiamin (B-1) you get 4167% of the RDA! Not sure if I want to takes these pills or not. 🤔

I am 58 year old female and never have had orthodontics- looked into orthodontics recently and have been told I need SARPE and double jaw - Am I too old to undergo such a surgery?
