    64 | Dr. Hilary Fritsch Gets a Haircut: The Airway Dent istry Warning Every Parent Needs to Hear

    spotify summaryDr. Hilary Fritsch is a biological and airway dentist who shares how modern orthodontics, mouth breathing, poor jaw development, and sleep-disordered breathing are affecting millions of children and adults. After struggling with childhood sleep apnea and later developing an autoimmune disease that affected her vision and mobility, her work shifted toward airway development, nasal breathing, sleep quality, and functional breathing. What begins as a conversation about braces and airway dentistry quickly expands into a much larger discussion about modern diets, childhood development, ADHD symptoms, athletic performance, facial structure, tongue posture, poor sleep, and the long-term consequences of treating straight teeth as the goal instead of functional health. Recently featured on Alex Clark’s podcast as well as outlets like The Today Show and Business Insider, Dr. Fritsch has become a leading voice in the growing conversation around airway dentistry, jaw development, and sleep health.

    Tyler Engle, known as bassforge.us, is a creator and researcher exploring ancient civilizations, sacred geometry, and the deeper patterns connecting history, myth, and consciousness. What started in music production evolved into a platform focused on breaking down complex, often overlooked ideas about the ancient world.
