* Dr. Coppelson explains how narrow nasal cavities can lead to mouth breathing, nasal obstruction, and sleep problems.
* Not having enough space for the tongue to rest at the roof of the mouth and why that causes problems breathing at night.
* Nasal resistance and how that leads to collapsing of the airway.
* Dr. Coppelson explains all the existing techniques for palate expansion including SARPE, DOME, and EASE.
* The M.I.N.D. (Minimally Invasive NasoMaxillary Distraction) technique Dr. Coppelson has developed and the benefits he sees for patients.
* Dr. Zaghi's M.I.N.D. procedure and how it felt to perform surgery on a colleague and friend.
* CBCT scans and the paper Dr. Coppelson and Dr. Zaghi wrote, read it here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36841260/
* Dr. Coppelson's definition of success as a cure for his patients rather than the lesser standard of the 'Sher' criteria commonly used to assess the success of surgical procedures treating sleep apnea.
* MMA surgery and how Dr. Coppelson is getting great results with strong 3D-printed titanium plates.
