Dr. Derek Mahony is a world-renowned specialist orthodontist who advocates for early interceptive orthodontic treatment and functional appliance therapy. He believes "watchful waiting is like supervised neglect" and that dental facial orthopedics (balancing jaw size and position) is crucial for airway and craniofacial development. He stresses myofunctional therapy is 100% necessary for stable outcomes and rehabilitation.ย 

Key Points:

โœ… Early action is essential for craniofacial and airway development. No more "supervised neglect"! ๐Ÿšซ
โœ… Focus on dental facial orthopedics, balancing jaw size and position, not just moving teeth. ๐Ÿฆทโ†”๏ธ
โœ… Myofunctional therapy is ๐Ÿ’ฏ necessary for stable results and muscle rehabilitation. Your tongue is the ultimate retainer! ๐Ÿ‘…
โœ… A multidisciplinary team approach is crucial for resolving complex issues. ๐Ÿค
โœ… Parents are empowering change, driving demand for airway-focused care. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ
