So many of us have patients in our practice that have been the victims, I should say, of kind of a 4-bicuspid extraction approach and all the things that they're dealing with now because of that, whether it's sleep-disordered breathing or jaw joint problems or just global pain. To have the tools in your arsenal to reopen that space, to give patient back tongue space, to alleviate pain, to potentially eliminate life-threatening sleep disordered breathing is, is huge. I know I've been following Bill's teachings on this for a while. The technique has been refined and refined and refined, and I think it's very accessible for people who are practicing orthodontics. So absolutely, I would sit in that class again in a heartbeat.
