In this week’s episode, Jeff and Dr. Judah Garfinkle discuss looking at a patient’s aesthetic treatment from an orthodontic perspective and vice versa. Oftentimes, a patient is viewed only from the doctor’s area of speciality, but today we learn that looking at a patient’s issue from another point of view can put the patient on the best path of treatment.
