Course Description
Dr. Nathan Tanner shares over a decade of clinical experience in airway-centered orthodontics, guiding colleagues beyond traditional extraction and retractive methods. With a focus on early intervention, functional appliances, and natural jaw development, this session will highlight practical strategies to improve patient outcomes, expand treatment possibilities, and elevate your practice with airway-focused care.
Target Audience: Dentists and dental specialists
Learning Objective
Correct and guide an optimal environment for normal occlusal development in the all primary, mixed or permanent dentition.
Identify, correct and guide a developing malocclusion to a normal occlusion in the all primary dentition ages 2-5, mixed dentition or permanent dentition.
Understand the earliest times that intervention is possible to support healthy craniofacial development.
Perform orthodontic screening on patients starting as early as age 2 and gain competence in delivering a Tanner Airway Appliance at any age.
Explain why early intervention of adverse dental, skeletal, or soft tissue relationships may be preferable to delayed treatment which often require greater effort in the future.
Meet Your Instructor
Dr. Nathan Tanner
Dr. Tanner graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and pursued his dental education at Oregon Health and Science University, completing his degree in 2007.
His journey into airway orthodontics began in 2010. Initially focusing on adult sleep apnea appliances, he expanded his practice to treat younger children, recognizing the importance of early intervention. In 2014, he became one of the first Myobrace certified providers in the United States.
Dr. Tanner participated in numerous training programs, including a General Orthodontics Residency study club focusing on Airway Orthodontics and Neuromuscular Dentistry, an Orthotropics mini-residency on airway and early jaw development, and training on ALF/Crozat with the American Academy of Gnathological Orthodontics.
By 2019, his passion drove him to personally innovate, crafting custom appliances. This led him to officially establish the Airway Center in 2020, where Dr. Tanner began teaching other doctors his system.
