00:02:46.080And there are all these symptoms, like real actual health symptoms that go along if you don't fix your teeth and your jaws and all of that.
00:04:18.000And you would think that this technology is new, but it's not.
00:04:20.400I mean, these appliances in general that we use at ToothPillow have been around for 70-plus years.
00:04:25.420But you get a little politics involved, you get a little change in the education.
00:04:28.320And if that is pulled out of orthodontic residency program,
00:04:30.960you have generations of dentists that come out never hearing about it.
00:04:34.760And when I went through a very extensive postdoc education in obstructive sleep apnea,
00:04:38.160I went for adults. I went to help all these adults that I was seeing that had all these issues, snoring, tooth grinding.
00:04:43.240They were breaking their crowns. We were crowning teeth because they were cracking their teeth.
00:04:47.000And we're just molar mechanics. We're just fixing the problem.
00:04:50.280We're not getting to the root cause of what's going on.
00:04:53.080And as I went through the education for all the adult stuff and I was like, golly, it's hard when you're older to fix it and deal with it.
00:04:58.820We can do it. But it's so much easier if you can prevent it from ever happening in the first place.
00:05:03.640And once I realized that was even possible, learning it from doctors that were older than me and had been doing it decades longer than me, yet I never heard about it one time in my dental school education.
00:07:50.040And anyway, it's very important to be able to impress girls, but at a deeper level, let's
00:07:56.060fear monger a little bit here. What are the problems that people can face other than a
00:08:00.280mouth that doesn't look good or you snore a little bit? What are the problems?
00:08:03.540Obstructive sleep apnea is deadly. You can have a heart attack, a stroke. I have had patients
00:08:07.460die of a stroke sleep apnea. My dental assistant's father passed away at 55 years old, took a nap,
00:08:13.140woke up, had a heart attack, and died. And he had sleep apnea. And we knew this. He wasn't
00:08:17.500wearing a CPAP. He wasn't being properly monitored. He didn't like a CPAP. Who likes
00:08:21.440their CPAP. Only a small majority of people. And so when you think about, it's like, I hate to
00:08:27.880fearmonger and I hate to go full blown with that, but I'm telling you, if your child has orthodontics
00:08:32.120done wrong as a child, it will plague them for the rest of their life. This is a stupid question.1.00
00:08:36.520I didn't go to medical school. Why is it that if your teeth are messed up, you stop breathing when1.00
00:08:42.240you sleep and die? I actually don't understand the connection. I would love to explain it to you.
00:08:46.300So your mouth, your breathing complex is from here around, right? They call it the nasomaxillary
00:08:51.180complex. All of your air has to come in either through your nose or your mouth. It should come
00:08:54.360in through your nose. Yeah. When you mouth breathe as a developing child, you have allergies, you're
00:08:58.800allergic to something, whatever, food sensitivities, underdeveloped urge, a tongue tie that went missed,
00:09:03.600whatever it is. I have that too, by the way. So did I. I had it fixed when I was 37. Yeah.
00:09:08.400Yeah. If you haven't had it fixed yet, that's a whole nother conversation. I need to go get my
00:09:10.960tongue snipped? Oh, 100%. Oh, this is like why I don't go to the dentist. I know, right? Here we go.0.99
00:09:16.380Yeah, but when you mouth breathe, your muscle, your tongue, this massive muscle in your mouth that is responsible for palate expansion, sits low.
00:09:25.060If it's sitting at the bottom of your mouth like this, you will grow in a vertical pattern.
00:09:29.400Your lower jaw, the mandible, will grow in the direction it's stimulated, which is why the tooth pillow works.
00:09:35.560Because we stimulate the lower jaw to grow forward, and that looks maxing.
00:09:39.440We help the jaw to be held forward, especially when these poor kids have a lower jaw that's way back.
00:09:43.780You can tell a profile anywhere you look.
00:09:46.300Everything we're talking about today, I'm so sorry, you'll never be able to unhear it or unsee it in all of your friends.
00:09:50.820But when that tongue is low, the jaws do not expand and develop, and the roof of your mouth is the floor of your nose.
00:09:56.460If you want to affect your breathing, you need to widen your palate.
00:10:00.900And the easiest way to widen your palate is while you're growing and developing, and your tongue can do it for you.
00:10:05.880But if you don't know that, because you were taught braces are nothing but cosmetic, we wait until the baby teeth fall out,
00:10:10.500so we only have to pay for it once, which wasn't the case for me.
00:10:12.760had it multiple times, you will have a completely different experience than somebody who started at
00:10:17.120three or four or seven. Go to goodranchers.com slash Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S. Back to school season
00:10:22.700means everyone gets thrown back into a routine. You're running out the door as I was this morning,
00:10:27.480taking kids somewhere, going from one thing to the next. Suddenly it's three o'clock,
00:10:31.240you realize you never actually ate lunch. This is where I'm very excited about this. You know,
00:10:37.080I'm a big, big Good Ranchers consumer. I'm not just an advertiser. I'm also a client all the
00:10:44.860time, many, many days. Good Ranchers has put out something that I've been waiting for for a long
00:10:50.040time, the Good Ranchers beef sticks. Very useful. Look at these delicious, delicious beef sticks.
00:10:57.760They're made with 100% American grass-fed and grass-finished beef. That distinction matters
00:11:05.580because here's something I didn't realize.
00:12:15.020They can't do it, and I go, then I switch, I go to a new dentist, and then they say, we have to do x-rays, I say, this is so humiliating, I'm going to be like, and then I go, and they say, no, no, I can do it, I'm a genius.
00:12:25.720And then they do it, and we go through 20 minutes of a humiliation ritual, where I'm, you know, I'm wheezing, I've got all this, and then they say, okay, we've got to use some other machine.
00:12:33.700to do it every time every single time so that's because of my tongue tie has a lot to do with
00:12:38.100your tongue tie a lot has a lot to do with your overall jaw width and development which i can see
00:12:42.480from anywhere because i treat so many patients not wide enough yeah but you can fix that 100 i can
00:12:47.260fix that it will change it yes you can how 100 is it bone smashing like clavicular no you have
00:12:53.640options you have surgical options you have non-surgical options we could spend an entire
00:12:56.900day talking about just that and how we help adults every single day now in our virtual platform we
00:13:02.260are coming out with an adult line. I'm super excited. But for somebody like you that has
00:13:05.940really severe symptoms and might be diagnosed with an obstructive sleep apnea, you probably
00:13:08.880need to be seen at one of my brick and mortar locations so that we can show you these expanders
00:13:12.360and see if you want to go through it again. And the simpler way to do this is for this
00:13:16.180all to have been corrected when I was a child. 100%. You have every symptom that we'll be
00:13:20.020talking about on Toothpill. If you go to the website, it's all there. And more and more
00:13:24.120dentists are paying attention now, which is great. But the vast majority of patients do
00:13:27.500not have access to this care. They don't have access to the information, which is why I
00:13:30.600built tooth pill. So, all right. Then in terms of the brick and mortar location, so what does a
00:13:34.240person do? You go online, you say, I want to do this. I'm sold. I don't want to end up like Michael
00:13:39.100with a bad gag reflex and mandular, tightened, whatever, the cortex, whatever. I don't know.
00:14:44.000The one hack, the one true health hack is you better have very good sleep, and it better not be disturbed because your body is struggling for oxygen.
00:14:51.060You can diagnose me by my under-eye bags, which is not just because I stay up late and do work and smoke cigars.
