In this 2 hour presentation, Dr. Raphael will discuss the history of orthodontics and its troubled understanding of soft tissue dysfunction in relation to malocclusion.   He will introduce the audience to the Airway Timeline and how it guides the thinking of both assessment and treatment planning in orthodontics.  And he will illustrate with cases how recording and tracking the medical indications for treatment is becoming an essential element of modern orthodontics.

Participants will be able to: 

• Define the etiology of airway flow limitation through knowledge of the timeline.
• List the four goals of myofunctional therapy.
• Show the need to address structure, function, and behavior in all cases and why treating just one domain is not enough.
• Describe with an orthodontist who is fluent in myofunctional thinking.
