ASAP Pathway: THE PODCAST Ep. 7 Thankful for Comprehensive Orthodontics, Dr. Ilya Lipkin
Nov 20, 2023
44:27
Drs Stacy Ochoa and Ilya Lipkin discuss the importance of airway health and joint-based occlusion in orthodontics. Dr. Lipkin shares his journey and how he became interested in these areas, starting with his experience as a sleep technician during dental school.
He also attended a lecture by Ron Roth, an orthodontist who emphasized the significance of jaw joints in orthodontics. This led Dr. Lipkin to pursue further education in the Roth-Williams philosophy, which focuses on addressing the structure of chewing, including the jaw joints.
Dr. Lipkin's practice differs from traditional orthodontics as he takes a more comprehensive and individualized approach to treatment. He incorporates expansion techniques and analyzes the outcomes of his cases to improve his practice. Over the years, he has observed positive changes in his patient's airway health and sleep quality after undergoing treatment.
The conversation emphasizes the importance of considering airway health in orthodontics and the potential benefits it can bring to patients. The speakers also discuss the need for a comprehensive approach that takes into account factors like joint health and occlusion. They express their dislike for labels such as "airway center practice" or "airway orthodontist," advocating for orthodontists to be seen as oral physicians who provide holistic patient care.
The conversation concludes with a call for more collaborative discussions and less negativity within the orthodontic community. Overall, the podcast highlights the significance of a comprehensive approach to orthodontic care and its potential impact on patients' overall health and well-being.
