<p><strong>Airway Orthodontics Under the Microscope | Orthodontics In Interview | Dr. Claudia Pinter</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>"The goal of orthodontics is not occlusion, but jaw development."</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>"It's our job to develop the jaws, and if we don't do our job, other people need to do it-but they can't do it as well.”</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>"I believe that nasal breathing is the foundation of healthy breathing."</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Airway management in orthodontics remains one of the most debated topics in modern orthodontics. Can orthodontics improve breathing? What does the current evidence say? Why do practitioners carry out orthodontics to improve the airway? Joining me is Dr. Claudia Pinter from Austria for a discussion on airway management, sleep-disordered breathing, and the potential role orthodontist's may have in improving the disorder.</p><p><br></p><p>We explore research surrounding pediatric airway management, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), mouth breathing, maxillary expansion, CBCT imaging, skeletal expansion, bed wetting and the ongoing controversies that continue to divide opinion within the profession.

<p>“Most orthodontic research looks strong on paper, but when you ask how much actually changes clinical practice, the number is surprisingly low.”</p><p><br></p><p>“Case reports may sit at the bottom of the evidence pyramid, but without them, there is no science at all.”</p><p><br></p><p>“We are not just dealing with appliances and scans. We are dealing with biology, data, and human behaviour all at once.”</p><p><br></p><p>.</p><p>I’m joined by<strong> Nikilesh Vaid </strong>, and in this episode we go beyond clinical techniques and into the deeper questions shaping the specialty: why orthodontic research still produces relatively low levels of high-quality evidence, </p><p>The role of case reports and what truly influences clinical practice, and why collaboration is not common in academia. Nikhilesh also reflects on institutional responsibility, editorial ethics, and current publication practices impact on broader participation in research.</p><p>.</p><p>The conversation moves to the future of orthodontics: remote monitoring, artificial intelligence, and data-driven treatment planning. We explore whether these technologies genuinely improve outcomes or are just changes in workflows, and how education systems should adapt to prepare the next generation of orthodontists.</p><p>Finally, Nikhilesh shares his perspective on the profession itself, reminding us that while excellence defines our science, empathy defines our care.</p><p>🕒 <strong>Timestamps of Key Questions & Topics</strong></p><p>02:33 Why is orthodontic research still dominated by low-level evidence?07:25 Do case reports still matter in modern orthodontics?09:44 Why is there a lack of collaboration in research?15:07 What is the biggest challenge facing orthodontic institutions today?19:21 Are editorial conflicts of interest a problem in orthodontics?24:40 What real innovation in orthodontics is occurring?29:18 Remote monitoring, evidence, accuracy, and clinical relevance35:53 AI in orthodontics, will it replace skills or enhancing care?40:49 One piece of advice for orthodontists</p><p>Please like and subscribe if you find this useful.</p><p>Listen on Spotify, YouTube, and other podcast platforms.</p><p>#OrthodonticsInInterview #NikhileshVaid #Orthodontics #DentalResearch #AIinDentistry #OrthodonticsEducation #EvidenceBasedDentistry #FarooqAhmed @nikhileshvaid</p>
