Abstract :

IT�S ALL ABOUT THE AIRWAY.-Historically, sleep, breathing, jaw, teeth and other dento-facial and oro-facial disorders have been regarded as �specific conditions� and �diseases� and have been diagnosed and treated in isolation. This treatment has largely been interventive and aimed at relieving the symptoms. The reality is that all the above are primarily consequences of Airway Dysfunction, and are the compensations, compromises, Para functions and dysfunctions created by the body in order to maintain its prime function � breathing. The presentation creates logical links between the onset of compromise � as early as the birth process � and shows how the system compensates in order to maintain breathing.
