In this presentation the speaker outlines an upcoming March training focused on building an airway‑centric dental practice. He explains how addressing midface development can resolve underlying issues such as TMJ dysfunction, crowding, and aesthetic failures, while simultaneously improving patients' airway and overall health. The talk stresses the importance of partnering with a specialist orthodontist—specifically Dr. Bill Hang—who can deliver the advanced orthodontic techniques required for this approach. By incorporating midface development, the speaker claims that full‑mouth reconstructions, implant placements, and functional cases become less complex, patients breathe better, and the final smile is an added benefit. He positions this model as a unique differentiator from mainstream aligner solutions like SmileDirect and Invisalign, presenting it as a profitable adjunct that will set practitioners apart and meet a growing demand for comprehensive, health‑focused dental care. The speaker invites dentists to either learn the techniques themselves or collaborate with qualified orthodontists to adopt this future‑oriented modality.

What I'm going to be talking about in March is how to develop an airway-centric practice, how to take what you probably already love doing, helping your patients get a beautiful smile, fixing their teeth, improving their lifestyle, and really look to see if there's an underlying cause, something that potentially can only be helped with midface development, something like TMJ issues or crowded teeth or failures with your aesthetic dentistry, Things that potentially could be significantly better with the development of the midface, which will also, by the way, improve your patient's airways. I'm very fortunate. I have Dr. Hang 100 feet down the hall from me. I can literally walk patients back and forth to his front desk and back to my office. Being able to provide the type of orthodontic services he can, it's not an easy thing to do, and it's not something your typical orthodontist or general dentist Understands or knows how to do. So if you're not like me and you don't have Bill Hang 100 feet down the hall, I strongly encourage you to ask your local orthodontists that you work with to come and check out what he has to say, because you need somebody that knows what they're doing in order to get these results. If you decide you want to do ortho, then by all means learn how to do this. There's a lot of general dentists out there doing great things. And it is something that Bill Hang can probably teach you how to do as well. However, if you're not interested in doing this type of ortho, you can't do this type of dentistry unless you know somebody who can provide these types of results for you. And once you get these results, I can guarantee you that your full mouth cases, that your implant cases, that all of your functional cases are gonna be significantly less complicated than ones you've ever dealt with before because their midface is in the right position, their function goes where it's supposed to be. They're comfortable, they're breathing, and the teeth is like icing on the cake. I can't tell you how many people call me every month specifically looking for this type of dentistry, but there's just not that many people trained in how to do it. So if you are able to incorporate this into your practice, work with an orthodontist that knows what they're doing, you're going to set yourself apart from everybody else in our field. You're going to be sought after like no other practitioner I can think of. You will be turning people away, I think, because it is the wave of the orthodontic future. With SmileDirect and Invisalign around every corner and in every mall, this is a very unique program that's going to set you apart to provide something that nobody else can. It's a great way to make a profit. It's a great adjunct to your services, and it's a treatment modality that Gives you the best results you can possibly find. There's a lot of different tools that you can look at and use to improve not only your aesthetic results, but your functional results and the entire lifestyle and probably lifespan of your patients. So I really hope you come and learn these amazing things that he is going to teach you, and hopefully I can coordinate it into your general dental practice to make this an easy transition for you. Thank you.
