Description:
In this episode, Dr. Scott Bolding — leading oral and maxillofacial
surgeon and airway reconstruction expert — dismantles the outdated
belief that sleep apnea is primarily a soft-tissue problem. He
explains why the bone dictates
the obstruction, why skeletal repositioning is the true driver
of airway patency, and how maxillary advancement, mandibular
rotation, and hyoid biomechanics can radically transform patient
physiology. You’ll also hear how CBCT, DICE, and joint-first
diagnostics reshape treatment planning for sleep apnea and complex
cases. A must-listen for clinicians who want to move beyond
superficial airway conversations and into evidence-based surgical
frameworks.
