- Patient Testimonial: Sam Franklin on MIND expansion procedure with Dr. Kevin Coppelson at The Breathe Institute!💙
MIND is Dr. Coppelson's advanced minimally invasive procedure technique that targets nasomaxillary expansion while minimizing pain and swelling for patients! This new technique was created with the best patient care in MIND! 🧠👍
i think the procedure sounds cool, but omgosh id like to marry this man, hes incredibly handsome and sounds very kind with a very strong character and muscles lol . just love him❤❤❤
Agree with Shuikai's comment. Would be helpful if you explained what MIND is or how it works exactly
MIND is a minimally invasive technique all done through small incisions in the mouth to facilitate true naso-maxillary expansion.
Is there a difference between Dr. Coppelson's MIND and Dr. Kasey Li's EASE? People have had a lot of nasomaxillary expansion failures with other surgeons/orthodontists, so I think a big question people have is, what is MIND and how successful is it?
We are having upwards of 98% success including our adult male patients, and the major difference is that our procedure is done exclusively trans-orally through small incisions in the mouth.
@@TheBreatheInstitute Thank you so much for the feedback. If possible would you be able to answer a couple other questions?
1. What type of expansion pattern does MIND produce? Anterior (V-shaped), or parallel (ANS-PNS)?
2. Does your definition of success include a separation at the mid-palatal suture, and expansion of the nasal aperture, of at least >2 mm? I have seen other providers use a definition of success, such as IMW change, which really to me should not represent nasomaxillary expansion.
3. Due to Dr. Lipkin's MSE method becoming very popular because of Jaw Hacks coverage, the words piezo and MSE I think are very good for marketing nasomaxillary expansion, a lot of people actually don't know what nasomaxillary expansion is. So I'm curious if piezotome is used with MIND, if so I just want to mention that I really think that could be leveraged big time in terms of marketing. I'm not sure you necessarily want the attention, but I know you could have literally hundreds of patients calling in from around the country, maybe even the world, if MIND were marketed well online, there is a huge demand not only for sleep and breathing, but especially from the looks communities who want to expand their mid-face.
Thank you for your interest! We are also very excited about the success this expansion has been having with our patients' sleep and breathing. The answers to these questions are very complex, but we will try to keep these answers concise.
1. The expansion pattern varies from patient to patient, but the expansion tends to be closer to parallel expansion. It depends on the patient anatomy and where the screws are located. The expansion is 3-dimensional expansion of the entire nasomaxillary complex, not LeFort 1 level expansion.
2. Success is defined as separation of the midpalatal suture as this is skeletal rather than dental expansion.
3. Yes, the piezo is the predominant tool used as one of the many tools during the procedure. We are very appreciative of ways to spread information about this type of expansion.
@@TheBreatheInstitute That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I do hope the success rate is as you say. I'll do my best to let people know you're doing great things. 👍
@@TheBreatheInstitute thanks for all the details. With the 3d expansion I am guessing that means the maxilla will also grow forwards? Is it possible to estimate how many mm may be gained in forward growth?
How does MIND differ from MSE with piezoelectric drill? Is there any article in which you present the method?
This is amazing! Is there anyone trained in this type of surgery in or near Toronto, Canada that you know of? I wish I could see you guys. Thank you
Very unlikely, if you were to try to do something like this there, it would probably be considered experimental. Personally I wouldn't recommend being a guinea pig either, the surgery could easily fail. If it's fully paid for by insurance.. maybe.
Ideally you don't even need a surgery, there is such a thing as non surgical MSE. Dr. Mark Luden in Ottawa does that. If you're female under the age of 30 there is a good chance it'll work, same thing for male under the age of 25.
In terms of the surgery they do, as far as I can tell the osteotomies they are doing here are essentially done to split the palate, nothing else, which is somewhat an assumption but they said they can do it under local anesthesia and so any more invasive cuts I assume would require at least IV sedation or general. So a mid-palatal osteotomy and possibly a midline osteotomy. There is an interview with Dr. Lipkin where he shows how he does similar osteotomies, which a big difference between a typical midline osteotomy and what he is doing is that he enters in above the roots of the incisors, rather than going down in-between the roots of the incisors, which is important as the main risk of a midline osteotomy is cutting into the roots which can lead to complications like needing a root canal, losing the tooth, etc. So entering in above the roots and essentially staying away from them would mitigate the risk. I know one person who had surgery with another surgeon in Europe, who didn't have many successes under his belt yet, he did a midline osteotomy but nicked a root.
The other person I guess would be Dr. Lipkin, he's around NY.
@@shuikai272 thank you so much! I'm looking to MSE in Oakville Ontario near me. My dentist treating me for TMD issues wants me to do expansion using I guess a more old school expander, over 6-12months? presses on both the bone and the teeth, but I'm looking into MSE as well.
How long did it take for his suture to split
