In this podcast, the Dr. Stacy sits with Dr. Claudia Pinter, an internationally recognized orthodontist (or Dentofacial Orthopedist) known for her expertise in aligner therapy and skeletal maxillary expansion. The discussion is focusing on the advancements in orthodontics, particularly the use of aligners for complex malocclusions and the importance of airway health in dental practices. Dr. Pinter shared insights from her recent lecture at St. Louis University, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to patient care that considers airway function alongside aesthetics.

The conversation highlighted the historical differences in orthodontic education between Europe and the U.S., advocating for a shift towards a more functional perspective in treatment. Dr. Pinter also discussed her commitment to teaching and the development of courses aimed at making maxillary expansion techniques more accessible to practitioners. This dialogue is significant as it underscores the evolving role of dental professionals in addressing broader health issues, such as sleep apnea, and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in patient care.
