Dr. Layne Martin, initially focused on veneers and crowns, shifted his career after collaborating with dentists specializing in complex cases, particularly influenced by Victor Avis. Avis emphasized the importance of airway issues, which Dr. Martin explored further, realizing that symptoms like teeth grinding and narrow jaws often signal airway problems. This insight led him to pursue specialized training in airway health, enhancing his expertise and reinforcing the crucial link between dentistry and overall health.
They explore common misconceptions about sleep disorders, their impact on children, and the crucial signs to watch out for as parents. Dr. Martin emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes of these issues rather than just the symptoms, drawing from his extensive experience in restorative dentistry. He also introduced us to innovative solutions like a specialized mouthpiece and the Open Air Pillow, designed to improve sleep quality for both children and adults, including those with PTSD and anxiety.

- Sleep habits impact our behavior.
