In this segment of the video, the speaker recommends that clinicians refer patients to either myofunctional therapists or airway dentists when addressing airway-related issues. The rationale is that these professionals have a deep understanding of airway changes due to dental work and also consider cervical spine implications. The speaker notes that many supporting studies validating this approach are conducted by airway dentists, making them the most likely professionals to return referrals, thereby creating a reliable referral loop.

Probably the best aligning with this, I think, I guess in my opinion, it'd be either a myofunctional therapist actually, or airway dentist, because they kind of understand the changes that are happening within the airway through their dental work. But they also realize, and when they're looking at these films, they even talk about the cervical spine with those. And a lot of the studies that have, I guess, proven this theory are done by airway dentists. So I think that'd probably be the most likely to actually send referrals back.
