...and how I discovered it.

I was looking at the description of this blog and realized how presumptuous it sounds that I "discovered" anything.  The only thing I discovered is the man who discovered all of what I now know before I did, and took it upon himself to tell the world about it.  Without Chris Farrell, I would not be writing this blog.


Dr. Farrell practices myofunctional dentistry in Helensvale, on the east coast of Australia.  Like me, he credits others for his knowledge, but he did three things that may yet change the face of orthodontics as we know it.   


First, over the past 20 years he's been developing a practical protocol for helping children change their bad oral habits.  Secondly, he developed the engineering techniques for producing a series of prefabricated appliances that can be used as part of this protocol.  And lastly, he is so passionate about the benefits of this treatment that he wants everyone - and I mean the entire planet - to know about it.  


He was well on his way to making it all happen before I ever heard of him.  Us Americans - so proud of our abilities with braces - are the last to know.


As my own dreams are beginning to align with his, I can only admire the big game he is playing.  So this blog is dedicated to Chris, with a big thank you for all you've done for the children of Earth.  May your success grow as others "discover" it, too.
