My Dream Ofﬁce, 2001

1.Crooked teeth are THE PROBLEM.
2.The lower incisor must be upright.
3.Patients don’t want to cooperate.
4.Straightened teeth aren’t stable.

1.Orthotropics is the string theory of most
malocclusion
2. Biobloc is the gold standard
3. Biobloc cannot cover all cases or needs
4. I need other solutions
The Beginner’s Mind

1.Crooked teeth are THE PROBLEM.
2.The lower incisor must be upright.
3.Patients don’t want to cooperate.
4.Straightened teeth aren’t stable.
1.Crooked teeth are A SYMPTOM.
2. The UPPER incisor directs treatment.
3.Patients don’t want to be exploited.
4.Teeth that grow straight are stable.
A Change of Mind

1.Crooked teeth are A SYMPTOM.
2. The UPPER incisor directs treatment.
3.Patients don’t want to be exploited.
4.Teeth that grow straight are stable.

Airway-Related Oral Dysfunctions (AROD)
• Chronic Naso-pharyngeal Obstruction
• Tongue form aberrations (Frenum and tongue-tie)
• Open Mouth Rest Posture
• Myofunctional disorders (Swallowing, chewing,etc.)
• Chronic Hyperventilation and Hypocapnia
• Breathing Disordered Sleep (OSA, UARS, snoring)
• Bruxism and parafunctions
• TMD and facial pain components
• Cranial and postural issues
• Malocclusion

Airway Orthodontics
•Early Feeding and Nutrition
•Allergies,Asthma, URT infections
•Posture
•Airway, Breathing, and Sleep Disorders
•Soft Tissue Dysfunctions (Tongue Thrust, Open Mouth)
Instead of crooked teeth being The Problem,
They are just a SYMPTOM of something larger

S. Reardon, 10-7yo M

Impacted 3s, Missing 2s

Medical history
• Reactive Airway Disease
•“Bronchial Constriction”
•Care of Pulmonologist
• Preventil
• Dad : OSA, CPAP for 11 years, diabetes
• Grandfather: OSA untreated
• ETCO2 = 36.1 at 10 bpm (acceptable)
• Posture number - 18 (<10 ideal)
• Father refuses sleep screening

Treatment Options
1.Open spaces for impacted canines. Open spaces for
lower lateral implants.
2. Extract upper premolars. MFT. Align.
Patient chooses option 2. Goes elsewhere...

Using Indicator/
Cosmetic Line
•To deﬁne a starting point
•To set treatment goals
•To track treatment progress
•To gauge the effectiveness of treatment

Changes of pharyngeal airway size and hyoid bone
position following orthodontic treatment of
Class I bimaxillary protrusion
Qingzhu Wanga; Peizeng Jiab; Nina K. Andersonc; Lin Wangd; Jiuxiang Line
Angle Orthodontist, Vol 00, No 0, 0000 (pre-publication 2012)
“the dimension of the velopharynx, glossopharynx, and
hypopharynx were decreased after maximal retraction of
anterior teeth with extraction of four premolars…”
“Any factors that can inﬂuence the posture and position of
tongue and soft palate may displace them backward and
encroach upon {the pharynx}.”
“the more the incisors were retracted, the more the
pharyngeal airway was reduced.”

Backed into a corner...
•
Moving teeth faster, more efﬁciently…
...in the wrong direction

Now that we’ve made
smoking unacceptable,
could we not do the same with...
• Sugar?
• Processed food?
• Cheap milk and meat?
• Fast food?
• Pill popping for symptomatic relief?
• Looking for the cure instead of the cause?
• Surgery as a quick ﬁx?
•Thinking braces are a status symbol?
Each industry thrives on the status quo.
Consumers must drive the change.

Nicholas Plaskon 10yM

Sister’s non-x ortho
She’s happy….
but I’m not, so...

I make my pitch for BBO

The dilemma of progress.
(I forgot the progress pictures….)
Dad sells prosthetic parts to orthopedic surgeons.
I selling the case against my previous work they loved...
It takes me 3 hours to sell the case.
They fret until the BB3 goes in...

Connecting the dots...
• Adult SDB and OSA
• Narrow jaws and faces
• Soft tissue dysfunction
• Early parafunctional habits, ie. open mouth posture
• Environmental stressors
• CPAP, MARA,UPPP, Surg
Where’s the best
place to start
treatment? here?
orhere?

1. Prevention
2. Undo the damage already done
3. Establish good habits
When to start?
When damage from poor breathing is noticed and
when bad habits are discovered.
The strategies of
Airway Orthodontics

Prevention
• Remove ankyloglossia
• Promote breastfeeding
• Harden the diet
• Discourage oral habits
• Promote whole-foods, low sugar diet
• Reduce oropharyngeal obstruction
• Promote nasal breathing

Breathing retraining
• Nasal rinsing
• Nasal clearing
• Decongesting

The goals of
Airway Orthodontics
1. Breathing through the nose
2. Lips together at rest
3. Correct tongue position
4. No facial muscles moving on swallowing
5. Optimal forward facial development
6. Class I occlusion
7. Straight teeth
8. Better stability long term

Establish Good Habits
1. Breathing through the nose
2. Lips together at rest
3. Correct tongue position
4. No facial muscles moving on swallowing
5. Stand and sit in balance
6. Breath gently using the diaphragm
7. Eat to nourish
8. Sleep to rest

Integrative vs Conventional

“With improvements in
expansion orthodontics,
advances in myofunctional
orthodontics, and the growing
recognition about sleep
disordered breathing among
children and adults, it is time for
orthodontics to expand its
horizons. There is now so
much more we can offer.”
The Raphael name has been associated with high
quality orthodontics in New Jersey for over 60 years.
Dr. Barry Raphael has been a university trained
orthodontic specialist and a member of the
American Association of Orthodontists for 30 years.
He has a wide range of techniques and services to
offer. He has studied oral myology, applied
kinesiology, Buteyko breathing, Biobloc Orthotropics
and Myobrace as part of his integrative training. He
can offer Damon, Invisalign, Insignia and Incognito
appliances designs as some of his many
conventional orthodontic services, too.
Dr. Raphael teaches his techniques at
post-graduate residencies, study clubs, dental
societies, and for the Myofunctional Research Co.
He is available for presentations to any group
interested in learning more about the benefits of
integrative orthodontics.
