Stephen Deal lectures internationally on airway-centered dentistry. The four topics below are offered as 45-minute keynotes, half-day workshops, or full-day intensives. Lead time is six weeks for a podcast, eight weeks for a panel, and three months for a half-day or longer.
A protocol for treating the underdeveloped face — not just the misaligned teeth.
A full-day workshop, half-day talk, or 60-minute keynote. Covers case selection, the diagnostic frame, the appliance sequence, and the retention philosophy. Lecture grade is intermediate-to-advanced; designed for dentists and orthodontists with a working knowledge of growth guidance.
Why the joint is the symptom and the airway is the cause.
A 60-to-90-minute lecture on the diagnostic upstream of TMD — sleep, breathing, postural compensation — and the clinical workflow for treating the cause rather than the signal.
What every clinician should know about OSA, OAT, and the CPAP-intolerant patient.
A 45-to-90-minute talk designed for general clinicians who are seeing more sleep questions and want a clear referral and treatment frame. Case-heavy, slide-light.
Why early intervention is orthopedic, not cosmetic.
A 45-to-60-minute talk on the developmental window for facial-orthopedic correction, the warning signs in school-age patients, and the appliance choices that preserve the option to do nothing later.
