The Method

A Clinical Framework

Built on Phenotype Science

Evidence-neutral. Workflow-driven. Built from two decades of specialist practice.

The Differentiator

"The only phenotype-based airway classification system developed from two decades of clinical practice and multidisciplinary leadership — advancing orthodontics through airway science, not opinion."

The Standard

"Clinical leadership begins with seeing what others miss. Dr. Major's framework gives you the scientific foundation, the diagnostic clarity, and the interdisciplinary fluency to lead at that level."

— The Six Pillars

The Framework

in Full Detail

Pediatric airway disease has evolved significantly. The craniofacial phenotypes presenting in children today demand a classification system that reflects current science — not legacy curricula designed for a different clinical era. Each pillar below is a discrete, stackable layer of the method.

01

Phenotype Recognition

Learn to identify the modern presentations of pediatric airway dysfunction — the patterns that have shifted over the last decade and that most curricula have not caught up to.

02

Workflow Integration

Implement a step-by-step, repeatable clinical workflow from screening and triage through referral and treatment planning — built to work Monday morning, not just in theory.

03

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Build lasting, functional partnerships with medical specialists. Understand your role, communicate with clarity, and coordinate care that produces better outcomes for every patient.

04

Evidence-Validated Integrity

No product agendas. No company affiliations. Pure, evidence-aligned clinical education grounded in science — so every decision holds up under any level of scrutiny.

05

Interceptive Orthodontics

A unique paradigm of interceptive orthodontics that optimizes airway growth outcomes — developed and refined across 20 years of specialist practice and multidisciplinary team leadership.

06

Stackable Competency

Complex science broken into compartmentalized, stackable frameworks. Each concept builds on the last — creating lasting clinical confidence, not short-term familiarity.

— How It's Taught

From Framework

to Clinical Practice

The method is delivered through structured CE pathways — beginning with a free introductory web class and progressing through Level 1 and Level 2 programs. Each program layer corresponds directly to the six pillars: recognition first, then workflow, then advanced clinical integration.

For clinicians who want to go further, the Mentorship Program provides direct one-on-one application of the framework to their specific cases, patient population, and practice context.
