Digital Occlusal Analysis Using TScan

Learning More About Occlusion and TMD In order to remedy our patients’ TMD and malocclusion symptoms – namely, tooth sensitivity, gum recession, and veneer, crown, enamel chipping and breakage – we need to treat the cause.

Unfortunately, with so much controversy about occlusion many dentists feel confused about the cause, and how they should treat it. 

Learning how to I.D. malocclusion and treat it effectively can give you an advantage. And those treatment services that you provide will help your patients stay healthy and out of pain.  

With my mentoring and training programs, I can walk you through one of the most neglected segments of our dental education: the functional occlusion and its physiologic effects to the patient.  

We will discuss the guidelines that I believe can help provide our patients with a more functional and balanced occlusion no matter what type of dental treatment they receive.
