Instead, he is a patient advocate who has spent the past 10 years studying Mewing, as well as appliances and surgeries capable of expanding human jaws. This matters because jaw structure is integral to both beauty and health. He has documented his discoveries in hundreds of YouTube videos and blog posts. Ron has served as a patient advocate for countless clients navigating their own jaw expansion journeys, familiarizing them generally with available treatments, and connecting them with some of the best dentists and doctors in the world, through his one-on-one coaching service.
