In this episode, Dr. Jeremy Manuele breaks down the quality of adult maxillary expansion beyond just "did it split?" We compare FME, custom MARPE, and MSE Type 2, explore surgical assists, preview FME Pro, and analyze a rare complication case. 

Dr. Manuele did not disclose the actual number of FME cases he has performed, but he has been working with adult non-surgical skeletal expansion and other TAD-anchored appliances since 2016, and in that time he’s helped many hundreds of patients.

In this podcast, Dr. Manuele delivers unique, never-before-seen visual demonstrations showing key differences between FME, Custom MARPE, and MSE, which are 3 top skeletal expander brands.

Essential viewing for anyone considering adult palatal expansion or airway treatment.

In this episode, I reconnect with Dr. Reza Movahed, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon based in St. Louis, MO, who performs 90 to 100 total TMJ joint replacement surgeries per year, ranking among the most experienced joint surgeons worldwide. He shares his personal journey through three jaw surgeries that transformed his approach to patient care and surgical planning. We discuss idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR), why certain patients are at higher risk for double jaw surgery failure, and when total joint replacement becomes essential. Dr. Movahed details his bone grafting methods, collaboration with top orthodontists, and how counterclockwise rotation with joint replacement achieves superior esthetic and functional results. He also highlights his MCO mandibular expansion device, the role of DISE in planning, and long-term joint data proving decades of success.

In this episode, I reconnect with Dr. Aişe Cemile, an orthodontist based in Istanbul, Turkey, who has treated between 500 and 1,000 MARPE cases over the years. She shares updates on her custom MARPE appliance designs, face mask protocols, and innovative methods for managing asymmetry. Dr. Cemile explains how she collaborates with a local lab to create fully customized devices tailored to each patient’s bone anatomy, achieving consistent split success by carefully planning TAD placement. She also discusses her use of face mask protraction, even in adult males, the role of cranial osteopathy and manual therapy in enhancing results, and practical techniques for preventing and correcting asymmetry through exercises, heat, and targeted pressure. A standout case features an 18-year-old male with severe skeletal Class III who achieved jaw-surgery-level changes through two rounds of MARPE and face mask therapy, making this episode essential viewing for anyone seeking advanced and affordable MARPE treatment outside the United State.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Newaz and Dr. Jaffari — the world’s most experienced FME providers — about what really works, what fails, and the complications they’ve seen across nearly 100 cases. We look at success rates, asymmetry, and how FME compares to custom MARPE, with Dr. Newaz sharing his own 8–9mm expansion results and CBCT analysis. We also explore the new FMA Protraction device, post-surgery expansion challenges, pricing debates, and the key question: when should you expand before jaw surgery versus doing a segmental LeFort?

In this episode, I sit down with Evan Lavizadeh — a former YouTube creator who overcame severe sleep apnea through MARPE expansion with Dr. Audrey Yun and double jaw surgery with Dr. Benjamin Walin in Los Angeles. Evan shares his full journey, from surgical planning and a 20mm advancement to the challenges of recovery and TMJ complications. Beyond the medical side, he opens up about how fixing his airway transformed his sleep, confidence, relationships, and outlook on life, as well as how therapy supported his recovery and inspired him to return to creating educational content in the airway health space.

Ron interviews Dr. Ilya Lipkin, an orthodontist with extensive MARPE experience. They discuss the nuances of Custom MARPE versus FME, including design considerations, TAD stability, and innovations like "Lipkin Wings." The conversation also covers the role of surgical assist, strategies to address and prevent asymmetry, and the importance of jackscrew orientation. Additionally, Dr. Lipkin shares insights on Facemask protraction therapy and offers perspectives on MMA surgery and selecting a surgeon.

Orthodontist and sleep medicine specialist Dr. Joseph Yousefian explains why Maxillomandibular Advancement (MMA) doesn't always resolve sleep apnea. Drawing on case studies and clinical experience, he highlights the procedure’s limitations and the importance of addressing nasal anatomy and TMJ health.

Dr. Tieu is an experienced ENT doctor who is also knowledgeable on the importance of skeletal expansion, jaw surgery & myofunctional therapy for breathing & health. She often recommends patients with a narrow palate & nasal aperture to seek out expansion before or in place of turbinectomy & other nasal surgeries (AKA she agrees with making the room bigger before removing furniture). She also has a lot to share on the surgeries & treatments she performs or recommends when there are structural & tissue abnormalities in the nose. In addition, she discusses how to go about cutting infant & adult tongue ties, and the importance of breastfeeding for a child's development, and how an uncut tongue tie can severely compromise a newborn's ability to breastfeed.

Dr. Kuljic is an airway focused dentist who invited Ron to talk after they met at Dr. Lipkin's PIEZO Course in September. He has lots to share on the importance of environment for jaw growth, specifically diet, snipping tongue ties early, importance of nutrient quality in foods & breastfeeding. He also talks about how fixing structure is important, but without improving the myofunctional habits afterwards, it's only a half success. Sleep hygiene, patient experiences with expansion & more are also discussed.

Jesse comes onto JawHacks to share a cautionary tale of his experience with nasal surgeries. He reveals the true cause of his deviated septum and how, frustratingly, he was not made aware y any of the many doctors he saw, but by an online resource, and that it was only after HE brought it up to his doctor that it was considered as a plausible cause. He also comes to talk about social dynamics, game, pickup artists, not growing up in a nuclear family and lack of self & unhealthy validation seeking as a result, depression, effects of cheap food and smoking cannibis, his music career, and more.

Dr. Marianna Evans is a Renowned Airway Orthodontist & Periodontist who is coming on JawHacks for the second time to discuss whether parallel maxillary expansion, as opposed to anterior, conical maxillary expansion, can only be achieved through the Kasey Li's EASE (Endoscopically-Assisted Surgical Expansion).

How does founder Won Moon's traditional MSE measure up to the newer Custom MARPEs? Are surgical assists necessary, or even desirable? Do patients have different anatomies, and need different types of expansion? All of that and more will be discussed in this JawCast!
