Have you ever wondered why so many kids today need braces? Is it just genetics, or is something else at play? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ben Miraglia of Toothpillow to explore a fascinating and somewhat alarming trend in dental health—our jaws are shrinking.

We dive deep into the consequences of having a small jaw, especially in children, and how it affects speech, breathing, and even behavior. Could thumb-sucking, pacifiers, or poor breathing habits be shaping your child’s jaw? And most importantly, do all kids really need braces, or are there alternatives?

If you’re a parent, caregiver, or just someone interested in the connection between oral health and overall well-being, you won’t want to miss this conversation!
