General Dentists & Orthodontics: Where Is The Line? | Orthodontics In Interview | Tif Qureshi
"Without orthodontics, dentists are working in a compromised environment."
.
"Minor objective orthodontics can be valuable, but the key is knowing what you should and should not treat."
.
"A two-day course is only an introduction. The real learning comes through mentoring, case assessment, and guided experience."
.
"Remote treatment planning is very different from mentoring.” 
.
The  general dentists performing orthodontics remains a  debated topic in modern dentistry. Should general dentists provide orthodontic treatment? What level of orthodontics is appropriate? How can general dentists achieve safe and predictable outcomes for their patients?
.
Joining me is Tif Qureshi, international speaker and educator  a general dentist and founder  of the Intelligent Alignment Systems Academy (IAS) , and advocate of general dentists performing orthodontics and minimally invasive dentistry  We have an in-depth discussion on orthodontic education of general dentists, why general dentists can have greater litigation rates than specialists, the quality of orthodontic planning and  treatment, and the issue with education for general dentists in orthodontics.
.We explore minimally invasive restorative dentistry and Tif explains the merits of orthodontics from the restorative lens. 
.
We also discuss  the limitations of short orthodontic courses, as well as  anterior guidance, envelope of function, and tooth movement over time, and how dentists can offer something specialists can't, longer term monitoring and patient education.

Airway Orthodontics Under the Microscope | Orthodontics In Interview | Dr. Claudia Pinter

"The goal of orthodontics is not occlusion, but jaw development."

"It's our job to develop the jaws, and if we don't do our job, other people need to do it-but they can't do it as well.”

"I believe that nasal breathing is the foundation of healthy breathing."

Airway management in orthodontics remains one of the most debated topics in modern orthodontics. Can orthodontics improve breathing? What does the current evidence say? Why do practitioners carry out orthodontics to improve the airway? Joining me is Dr. Claudia Pinter from Austria for a discussion on airway management, sleep-disordered breathing, and the potential role orthodontist's may have in improving the disorder.

We explore research surrounding pediatric airway management, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), mouth breathing, maxillary expansion, CBCT imaging, skeletal expansion, bed wetting and the ongoing controversies that continue to divide opinion within the profession. The podcast was recorded in Dusseldorf Germany.

“Most orthodontic research looks strong on paper, but when you ask how much actually changes clinical practice, the number is surprisingly low.”

“Case reports may sit at the bottom of the evidence pyramid, but without them, there is no science at all.”

“We are not just dealing with appliances and scans. We are dealing with biology, data, and human behaviour all at once.”

.
I’m joined by Nikilesh Vaid , and in this episode we go beyond clinical techniques and into the deeper questions shaping the specialty: why orthodontic research still produces relatively low levels of high-quality evidence, 
The role of case reports and what truly influences clinical practice, and why collaboration is not common in academia. Nikhilesh also reflects on institutional responsibility, editorial ethics, and current publication practices impact on broader participation in research.
.
The conversation moves to the future of orthodontics: remote monitoring, artificial intelligence, and data-driven treatment planning. We explore whether these technologies genuinely improve outcomes or are just  changes in workflows, and how education systems should adapt to prepare the next generation of orthodontists.
Finally, Nikhilesh shares his perspective on the profession itself, reminding us that while excellence defines our science, empathy defines our care.

Attachments - Mistakes, Errors And Solutions | OrthoDontics In Interview | Linton Nash 
"When we place attachments, we assume they are accurate,  but small errors in volume, location, plaque, or insertion can completely change the force system."
"Sometimes the attachment itself can make movement worse than having no attachment at all."
"I'm not trying to eliminate every error,  I'm trying to control every error we can control."
I'm joined by Dr. Linton Nash from Australia for a deep dive into aligner attachments andtrim line design, factors often overlooked but significant in tooth movement.
We explore Linton’s attachment term ‘VALE’ , volume, abrasion, location, and errors, and discuss how seemingly small factors such as plaque, attachment positioning, and tray design may significantly alter force delivery and treatment outcomes.
We discuss attachment design, optimised versus conventional designs, why they can underperform clinically, and the advantage a force system  from straight trim lines can achieve. The biomechanics of lingual attachments but the inaccuracy in their use, and whether aligner systems are fundamentally working with unavoidable “play” similar to fixed appliances.
Linton also shares his research into 3D printed attachments, attachment accuracy protocols, refinement strategies, and the future of aligner mechanics.

The BioprogressiveTheory Revisited  | Orthodontics In Interview |  Sergio Sambataro
 
"Whenyou say Class II, to me, you say nothing. We must look for the etiology of themalocclusion — not just the teeth, but the function behind them."
 
"Ifyou extrude the upper molar, the condyle goes downward, and you have morevertical growth of the ramus. Ricketts showed this very clearly back in the 60sand we have published the same result at the University of Milan."
 
"Oneof the principles in Class II correction is: first open the bite, and thencorrect the overjet. This is not just mechanics — it is logic."
 
"Satoonce said — if you ask why he doesn't use retainers, he answers with anotherquestion: why do you use retainers? Because you know your job is notstable."
 
 
I'm joined by Dr. Sergio Sambotaro from Sicily, for adeep dive into Bioprogressive Orthodontics, principles established by Rickettsand still debated today.
 
We explore the cause of a malocclusion from abioprogressive perspective, the focus on vertical facial types determiningtreatment mechanics and anchorage. We examine the decompression theory of the ClassII case, and the role of the cervical headgear and utility arches. We turn tothe mechanics of sectional treatment over full-arch straight wire, and whereTADs fit in with the bioprogressive philosophy. We tackle the contestedevidence around transpalatal arch anchorage, and what the research may bemissing.
