Since that time he has included helping children and adults achieve an optimal physiologic airway and breathing pattern as a primary goal of his treatment with the straightening of teeth as a secondary "icing-on-the-cake" outcome. He labeled his practice in Clifton, New Jersey, as the Raphael Center for Integrative Orthodontics in 2014. Today, over 80% of the people that come to see him and his team come for airway, growth and development and overall wellness as primary goals for themselves. His team includes a myofunctional therapist, a craniosacral therapist, a functional physician, a nutritionist, and a team of Myobrace Health coaches to teach his patients how to maximize their oral and overall health.For more on Dr. Raphael check out his website: www.morethanstraightteeth.comFollow his Facebook: www.facebook.com/IntegrativeOrtho____________ABOUT THE HOST:Nicole Goldfarb, M.A. CCC, SLP- COM® is a Speech-Language Pathologist, Certified Orofacial Myologist, International speaker, author, Ambassador for the Breathe Institute, a Talk Tools educational partner, and she has served on the faculty for the Sleep Education Consortium and the Airway, Sleep, and Pediatrics Pathway (ASAP) program.
