How to Accurately Screen & Refer Children with OSA

The clinical foundation every dentist needs — and most have never been taught.

Most dentists leave dental school without a reliable system for identifying pediatric airway disorders. Level 1 closes that gap — with a phenotype-based screening framework, a step-by-step triage and referral workflow, and the clinical confidence to act on what you're seeing.

— What You'll Learn

The Clinical

Foundation

Level 1 is built around the three core pillars that every dentist needs before they can practice airway-focused care: recognizing the modern phenotype, implementing a reliable screening workflow, and navigating the referral pathway with confidence.

By the end of Level 1 you will be able to screen a pediatric patient for airway and OSA indicators in under 10 minutes, communicate findings clearly to parents, and refer appropriately to the right specialist — every time.

Module 1

The Modern Pediatric Airway Phenotype

What has changed in the last decade, why the old model is insufficient, and how to recognize the presentations that most clinicians miss entirely.

Module 2

Screening & Triage in Under 10 Minutes

A repeatable, defensible screening workflow built for real-world practice — not just theory. Includes the case types most dentists miss at every exam.

Module 3

Referral Pathways & Interdisciplinary Communication

How to communicate findings to specialists, write clear referral notes, and build the relationships that turn one-time referrals into lasting clinical partnerships.

— By the End of Level 1

What You'll Be

Able to Do

01

Identify the modern pediatric airway phenotype — including the presentations that have changed in the last decade and the two case types most dentists miss at every exam.

02

Screen and triage pediatric patients for OSA and airway indicators in under 10 minutes using a standardized, defensible workflow you can implement from Monday morning.

03

Navigate referral pathways confidently — knowing when to refer, who to refer to, how to communicate findings, and what to expect from the interdisciplinary relationship.

04

Correct the foundational misconceptions from prior airway training — including the outdated phenotype model most clinicians were taught and still rely on today.

05

Communicate airway findings to parents clearly and without alarm — building trust, increasing case acceptance, and positioning your practice as the airway-aware provider in your community.

— What Clinicians Say

From Dentists Who

Have Taken the Course

"I've taken three airway courses over the years and always left with more questions than answers. Level 1 was the first time someone actually showed me a system I could use the next day. The screening workflow alone was worth the entire investment."

Dr. Sarah Chen

General Dentist, Vancouver BC

"Dr. Major has a rare ability to take genuinely complex science and make it click. By module two I was already seeing patients differently. I referred two children for sleep studies in the first week after completing the course."

Dr. James Okafor

Pediatric Dentist, Toronto ON

"What separates this from every other airway CE I've done is that it's completely product-neutral. No agenda, no upsell — just the science and the workflow. That's exactly what I needed to feel confident doing this in my practice."

General Dentist, Calgary AB

Global CE Educator

Dr. Michael Major is a board-certified orthodontist who spent 15 years leading one of Western Canada's most advanced multidisciplinary pediatric airway teams at the University of Alberta. His published research on pediatric sleep disorders and his 20 years of specialist-level practice inform every module in this course.

Level 1 is the foundation of a framework he developed over two decades — a phenotype-based classification system that is taught nowhere else. It is the same framework he uses in clinical practice, the same one he teaches to clinicians around the world, and the same one you will have access to from day one of enrollment.

"The standard of care advances when clinicians stop accepting the limits of their training."

— FAQ

Common

Questions

Everything you need to know before enrolling. If your question isn't here, reach out directly.

Do I need any prior airway knowledge to take Level 1?

No. Level 1 is designed as a complete foundation — it assumes no prior airway training and is structured to correct misconceptions from prior CE rather than build on them. General dentists, pediatric dentists, and orthodontists at any stage of their career can start here.

How is the course delivered?

Level 1 is delivered through a combination of evergreen video modules you can complete at your own pace, plus live Q&A sessions with Dr. Major for founding cohort participants. All materials are accessible online from any device.

How long does it take to complete?

Level 1 is designed to be completed over 2–4 weeks at a comfortable pace. The core modules are structured and focused — no filler content. Most participants complete the curriculum in under 8 hours of active learning.

Are the CE credits accredited?

Level 1 provides 7 CE credit hours. Accreditation details and compliance with your regional dental board requirements are confirmed at enrollment. All education content complies with HIPAA, OSHA, and applicable CE standards.

Do I need to complete Level 1 before enrolling in Level 2?

Level 1 is strongly recommended as a prerequisite for Level 2. The clinical integration work in Level 2 builds directly on the screening and phenotype framework established in Level 1. Exceptions may be considered for clinicians with significant prior airway CE experience.

What happens after I complete Level 1?

After completing Level 1, you'll have access to the full Level 2 program — Fundamentals of Airway Treatment with Interceptive Orthodontics. You'll also receive information about the Mentorship Program, Study Clubs, and the Screening Checklist resource launching soon.
