<p>In recent years, more non-orthodontists have begun doing interceptive orthodontics. Why is that, and what role are orthodontists playing in this shift? I discuss that and much more with Dr. Jenna Schwibner, owner of Dental Partners of Vero Beach. </p><p> </p><p>Dr. Schwibner is an amazing practitioner who focuses on the intersection of oral and total body health through airway-focused dentistry.
