The ALF Approach, Changing the Face of Orthodontics – Tasha Turzo-Moore DO

Millions of people treated with traditional orthodontics have experienced a relapse in crowding or malposition of teeth when the required lifetime nighttime dental retainer is discontinued. In fact, there is a 100% chance that teeth alignment will not be sustained without the nighttime correction of a dental appliance. Many may have also experienced postural changes with “slouching” shoulders or jaw and head pain or worse, or developed sleep apnea years after orthodontics. Why is this and is there an alternative orthodontic approach?

Breathe, Sleep, Thrive – Dr Shereen Lim

Understand airway health to unlock your child’s full potential.

Did you know that the way a child breathes will impact every aspect of their development including their sleep quality, learning, behaviour, jaw and facial development, speech, and future health?

Common issues children experience such as snoring, disturbed sleep, poor attention and concentration, ADHD-symptoms, difficulties with emotional regulation, recurrent ear infections, speech or feeding concerns, teeth grinding, crooked teeth, and more, can often be symptoms of a bigger, underlying problem. These are all symptoms of dysfunctional breathing and unrestorative sleep.

Many health care professionals are not taught to ask about a child’s breathing or sleep quality, and this knowledge deficit leads to the dismissal of a child’s problems. We’re told “they will grow out of it,” but in the case of poor breathing and sleep left untreated, children often grow into different problems, falling short of their full potential all the way into adulthood.

Dr Shereen Lim was one of Australia’s first dentists to obtain a qualification in dental sleep medicine. She has a decade of experience in managing snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea and is calling for a reformed approach towards airway health from infancy instead of managing dysfunctional breathing and symptoms.

Breathe, Sleep, Thrive will connect the dots to help you identify the important developmental milestones for good airway health development and breathing, the red flags that indicate things are off track, and what can be done about it to help your child not just survive, but thrive.

Sleep Disordered Breathing, a Parental Guide – Dr David McIntosh, ENT

Sleep disordered breathing is one of, if not the, most common chronic health conditions in childhood. Yet most parents have never heard of it, and many health practitioners do not know about it either. This is a tragedy as sleep disordered breathing has a major impact on the health of children. In this book I am going to take you on the journey from diagnosis to treatment. I want the best for your child- this book is written to help you.

Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art – James Nestor

‘Who would have thought something as simple as changing the way we breathe could be so revolutionary for our health, from snoring to allergies to immunity? A fascinating book, full of dazzling revelations’ Dr Rangan Chatterjee

There is nothing more essential to our health and wellbeing than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences.

The Cause and Cure of Malocclusion – Prof. John Mew (Revised edition)

There is little consensus amongst orthodontists on either the cause or cure of malocclusion. Despite this a relatively uniform type of treatment has developed in many parts of the world, involving the extraction of some teeth, followed by fixed mechanics to align the remainder. This mix has some unfortunate side-effects and a tendency to relapse in the long-term. It has also been severely criticized by world-renowned scientists, such as Lisle Johnston, because it is “At bottom largely an empirical process that is little influenced by theory inferred from any of the life sciences”

Facial Growth – Donald H Enlow

This Book presents the latest concepts in facial growth and offers complete coverage of the subject. Topics new to this edition include facial type and malocclusion, the role of TMJ in facial growth, the biomechanics of facial growth and the new area of adult facial growth. Throughout , the emphasis is on working with, rather than against , growth in clinical treatments. The text is intended for dentists and oral & maxillofacial surgeons.

Jaws: the Story of a Hidden Epidemic – Sandra Kahn & Paul R Ehrlich

There’s a silent epidemic in western civilization, and it is right under our noses. Our jaws are getting smaller and our teeth crooked and crowded, creating not only aesthetic challenges but also difficulties with breathing. Modern orthodontics has persuaded us that braces and oral devices can correct these problems. While teeth can certainly be straightened, what about the underlying causes of this rapid shift in oral evolution and the health risks posed by obstructed airways?

Don’t ignore the snore: Over 100 scientists explain why. 

by Dr David McIntosh ENT, MBBS FRACS PhD Snoring is a sign of an airway that is obstructed. This can have a major affect on the way the body functions. This book delves into many health conditions and explains why you should not ignore the snore!
