Dr. Kris Hendricks is a pediatric dentist and practice owner from New Mexico. I came across his viral TikTok video showing models of how different styles of pacifiers affect occlusion in kids.

Kris talks about how he was essentially gifted an orthodontic practice in New Mexico. He shares his take on social media, going viral, and what he currently recommends to parents asking about pacifiers. We break down what the research says for pacifier recommendations, and if "orthodontic" pacifiers are all they are cracked up to be.
