## Resource

Ron sits down live at the Winds of Change conference in Chicago with Dr. George Mandelaris (periodontist & SFOT specialist), Dr. Newaz (orthodontist & leading MARPE/FME provider), and Dr. Jaffari (GP & restorative specialist). They break down how SFOT and MARPE work together to expand both jaws, why restorative is the most overlooked step in jaw treatment, and whether MARPE + SFOT can replace jaw surgery for underbites.
