## Resource

spotify summary Dr. Hilary Fritsch is a biological and airway dentist who shares how modern orthodontics, mouth breathing, poor jaw development, and sleep-disordered breathing are affecting millions of children and adults. After struggling with childhood sleep apnea and later developing an autoimmune disease that affected her vision and mobility, her work shifted toward airway development, nasal breathing, sleep quality, and functional breathing. What begins as a conversation about braces and airway dentistry quickly expands into a much larger discussion about modern diets, childhood development, ADHD symptoms, athletic performance, facial structure, tongue posture, poor sleep, and the long-term consequences of treating straight teeth as the goal instead of functional health. Recently featured on Alex Clark’s podcast as well as outlets like The Today Show and Business Insider, Dr. Fritsch has become a leading voice in the growing conversation around airway dentistry, jaw development, and sleep health.
