This document provides an overview of integrative orthodontics presented by Dr. Barry Raphael. Integrative orthodontics takes a holistic approach to treating crooked teeth by addressing their underlying causes rather than just the symptoms. The goals of treatment include improving breathing, swallowing, tongue position and facial development. Methods discussed include preventing issues through frenectomies, proper feeding, and habit control, as well as undoing damage through palate expanders and functional appliances. Integrative orthodontics aims to achieve straighter teeth and better long-term stability.
