Jason and Alan are joined by a repeat guest, Dr. Jeff Rouse! We've talked with Jeff about airway issues a bunch of times, yet this interview is really fresh and interesting. We think you'll like it a lot! In episode 213 we discuss:

• What does he mean that "all appliances are sleep appliances?"
• What has it been like to create all of this amazing content for Spear Education's online platform?
• How is Jeff screening kids and adults for airway? (note: it's probably not what you think!)
• What has he seen with regard to orthodontists coming around to treating airway in children?
• Tips on building an airway team
• How does the "Prevent, Control, Resolve" protocol work?
