A rant from Dr. Jen today. It is frustrating to hear about orthodontists using fear tactics to scare parents into treatment.  An orthodontist should be referring your child to a physician if they are worried about the airway.  It should never be suggested that doing orthodontics will solve an airway problem.  Yes, we can be adjuncts in the care of airway issues, but medical doctors are the quarterbacks and will let us know what they need.
