What's going on?
Around two week ago, Dr. Greg Asatrian posted this video on his Youtube channel "Braces Explained", arguing why extractions doesn´t ruin faces. Mike posted a comment via the Orthotropics channel, inviting him to engage in a scientific, but friendly, exchange of ideas. This was met with a positive response from Dr. Greg, who asked Mike to email him. Yet, after sending several emails, Mike is still waiting for a response. Maybe Dr. Greg has just been busy lately, or he is planing to not follow up with Mike.
What should we do?
To heighten the chance of some sort of engagement happening, I encourage everyone on this forum to leave a polite comment on Dr. Gregs video, asking him to engage with Mike. If enough people express their interest in seeing them together, Dr. Greg simply won't be able to ignore this. At least not without coming across as disingenuous, or afraid of speaking to Mike. Also make sure to like Mikes own comment in the comment section, and comment on that one as well.
Why is this important?
A discussion of this sort would mark a breakthrough in the discourse, as both John and Mike has tried to make this happen for a longer time than many of us here has been alive. But not only is this important for raising consciousness around CFD, orthotropics and other relating matters. For those who may not be aware, Mike is currently at risk of losing his license as a practitioner. A discussion with Dr Greg could strengthen Mikes credibility and reputation. This may very much be in his favor during his upcoming trail with the General Dentist Council.
What should I write?
Nothing fancy. Just leave a polite comment on the video linked above, and it will be enough. If you're really running short of time, feel free to copy and paste this prewritten one:
@Braces explained Hi Dr. Greg! I really do want to see you and Dr. Mike Mew speak with each other. Please reach back to him and make this happen. Looking forward!
@thebeastpanda Glad to hear! :) Regarding Mike license, I actually can't recall the details of the accusation, or in what video Mike spoke about this in detail. The last time I recall him mentioning this was briefly in the "Max tongue press" video. Anyways, according to what my memory, he is basically being accused of being unscientific/spreading misinformation and things of that sort. Hopefully someone can chime in to possibly correct me or provide details.
