Throwback to when I got my FME removed early. Dr. Newaz and I made the decision together to NOT backturn (38 small turns is how far I made it), remove the device, and let a little natural relapse occur. Recent CBCT scans show I got 1mm of expansion, and the device was activated 1.5mm, meaning I relapsed 0.5mm. Despite being nervous and feeling some intense pressure from the device being removed early, it was a relatively easy process. Catch the whole video on my YouTube.
Should MARPE patients also consider doing a full body assessment, and if necessary, postural therapy? This is the topic I’ve been exploring lately, as I try to find the reasons for my constant struggles with orofacial asymmetries.
Watch the full video on my YouTube channel.
says we should expect asymmetry after every expansion - but also that orthodontics can fix it.
How does one even develop their jaws properly in a modern society? Dr. Mahony discusses the things that will help children from ever needing orthodontics later in life.
For those that struggle to breathe through their nose, should MARPE come first or nasal surgery?

Just got back from a very productive trip to Colorado. Made some content with the TAD master himself , did a week long cadaver dissection with Tom Myers of , and had a small amount of me time to enjoy Colorado.
1-3: At Dr. Baumgaertel’s Longmont office, making some informative content for YouTube. Can’t wait for you guys to see this one!
4. In the lab with my dissection group and the founder of Anatomy Trains - the concept that muscles and fascia run as long trains in the body instead of isolated muscle groups - Tom Myers (center of photo).
5. We got to enjoy one day of snow! (Exciting for Californians) ❄️
6-8: Some Colorado things, including great coffee, an afternoon hike, and a cool community sauna club called Portal.

It has been so nice without an expander in or braces on. I don’t have to bring a waterpik everywhere. I can use regular floss. I’m not constantly attending to some new wound in my mouth from all the metal. 😭 Even dental cleanings are easier, as was experienced today.
1. My favorite dental hygienist, whose name is also Taylor.
2. Me trying to show y’all my dead tooth while simultaneously discovering you can no longer zoom in selfie videos on the iPhone 😭
3. A handheld x-ray device that I was nerding out on
4. All done 😁

Had a great time up in the Bay Area, creating content with Dr. Brian Hockel , Dr. Alena Larios , and Dr. Anil Rama
Sadly I forgot to get a photo with Dr. Larios and Dr. Rama, but here are some highlights from the trip. Be sure to check out my YouTube for fun and informative upcoming videos.
1. Dr. Hockel at his office in Walnut Creek. Look at his cool welcome sign for me and the videographers 😎
2. The videographer’s ergonomic rig setup compared to my sleep study setup 🤣 (ps: we had a 5.0 earthquake that night, during my sleep study)
3. My new spring time nails (to be seen on camera) 💅
4. A frequent cameo in my upcoming edits: the new white kicks and the burning question…how long will they actually stay white? 🤔
5. Visiting my Alma Mater while in town 🐻
6. Third Culture Bakery is a MUST stop for this celiac girl. They have gluten free mochi donuts and the best matcha I’ve ever had 😻
