What I’ve Seen in My TMJ/TMD Practice Personally Examined Over 3,500 TMD Patients Over the Last 25 Years and Treated Most of them

Conventional and even functional orthodontics share the same diagnostic dilemma as psychiatry, that is, they both do not have a diagnostic protocol to assess the baseline of patients before, during, and after treatment. The treatment objectives of orthodontics are admirable: straight teeth, a pretty smile, and functional temporomandibular joints. The one key component missing from the treatment objective equation is an occlusal cranial balance. The reason for this is that the orthodontic and dental profession does not know that they do not know that this component even exists. The only saving grace is the cranium’s ability to adapt to the distortions created by orthodontic treatment. Patients and dentists alike do not connect the dots between the occlusal cranial distortions they have created and the symptoms of trigeminal Neuralgia, atypical facial pain, migraine and tension headaches, cervical, low back pain, and more.”
