Show Notes
Many adults think orthodontics is just about straight teeth—or that it’s “too late” to start.
In this episode of The Dental Handoff, Dr. Kelly Tanner sits down with orthodontic hygienist and educator Liisa Moore to discuss why adult orthodontics is about far more than appearance.
They dive into:
- Why “straight” teeth can still cause damage
- How crowding leads to recession, wear, and trauma
- The role of bite alignment in long-term oral health
- Why adults often regret waiting
- How tools like iTero scans reveal hidden risk
Whether you’re a dental professional or a patient, this episode will shift how you think about orthodontics—and prevention. Liisa is a registered dental hygienist with 20 years of experience specializing in orthodontics. Her extensive knowledge led her to become the Orthodontic Curriculum lead at RDHU.
She is a published author with articles in Oral Hygiene and Oh Canada Magazines, earning her a Reader’s Choice Award nomination. Outside the operatory, she is a Certified Personal Trainer, Pilates Mat instructor, and Healthy Eating and Weight Loss Coach.
Although Liisa loves to travel, she is a true homebody who enjoys spending time with her husband, two children, and her dog.
