The Very Dental Podcast Network Very Dental: "Eat Through Your Mouth, Breathe Through Your Nose" with Dr. Marianna Evans
Dr. Marianna Evans is a dual specialty trained (perio/ortho) dentist who practices outside of Philadelphia! Marianna presented on the main stage at the 2022 Spear Summit on diagnosing and identifying the hypoplastic maxilla. Marianna's practice has a strong focus on treating the airway in children and they had a wide ranging conversation about airway, early orthodontic intervention and the "why" of airway developmental problems.
- How can you help your orthodontist to embrace an airway paradigm shift?
- Taking one case at a time with your interdisciplinary team
- Focusing on evidence based medicine and dentistry
- How CBCT changed how we think about orthodontics and airway
- Much of the "airway literature" is in ENT journals, less in dental/ortho journals
- How Marianna's network influenced the way she practices (in the same building as a pediatric sleep doctor!)
- Marianna sees patients from age 0 to 75!
- Why do we see airway problems now? Marianna has thoughts!
- Knowledge problems vs. execution problems
