#108 – Dr. Luke Shapiro – A Chill Convo About MARPE and Jaw Surgery

Grab some popcorn, NYC orthodontist Dr. Luke Shapiro joins Ron for a technical, no-BS conversation on airway orthodontics — MARPE vs. FME, DOME Zero, choosing a jaw surgeon, the custom lower-jaw debate, and why bites come out unpredictable after surgery.

Plus the controversies: Vivos/DNA appliances, ALF, AGGA, and the "epigenetic" growth claims that never show up on a CBCT.
