You WILL Understand TMJ Disorders After Watching This - Dr. Yousefian | JawCast #49

Dr. Joseph Yousefian, DMD, MS, is an orthodontist practicing in Bellevue, Washington. He is famous on my channel for being the only provider who pairs mandibular skeleton expansion (DAME or MSDO) with MSE.
Dr. Yousefian is also a pioneer in investigating the interconnection between airway and TMJ disorders.
He and his son Ryan own and operate ApnoMed, a medical device company focused on sleep apnea and TMJ health.
