TMJ

The Importance of Treatment

There are direct connections between the alignment of teeth, the symmetry of the joints, the curves of the spine, the levels of the shoulder blades and pelvis, and leg length.

You can see this for yourself if you wear an appropriate heel lift in your shoe for just a day; afterward there may be discomfort in the areas that are connected.

It is important for those who have malocclusion to have their whole bodies examined by an Osteopath. If the problems in the jaw are solved, then many other connected problems can also be helped. Among these are:

• Backache
• Breathing difficulties
• Deteriorating eyesight
• Headache
• Hormonal problems
• Painful teeth
• Sinusitis
• Scoliosis

From the text above one realizes how interconnected our body parts are. This is the reason that we need a multidisciplinary approach to our health related problems.

OSTEOPATHY and DENTISTRY

ACCU-LINER

In my practice, I assess the leveling, stability and alignment of your occlusion and the position of the condyles (heads of the mandibular bone) with a special instruments called Accu-Liner, in order to determine what ill-effect your bite can cause in the skull, if any, and recommend the appropriate treatment

A paradigm shift is taking place in the perception and treatment of occlusion and, with it, the emerging field of Cranio-Dental Orthopedics has become a recognized specialty. The Accu-Liner, which has been there from the beginning, is the only tool that can provide me with the specific capabilities I need to accurately apply my knowledge.
 
The Accu-Liner is truly revolutionary because it was designed to work in conjunction with this new way of thinking. With this system, you can actually treat patients according to principles of harmony and homeostasis in the neuromuscular and structural systems.

Think about an airplane's cockpit instruments for a moment. The Accu-Liner is a lot like the compass, altimeter and attitude indicator: it shows you the spatial relationship between the teeth, mandible, maxilla and the rest of the cranial bones. And, like an airplane reaching the ground, the maxilla and the entire system must be level at contact.

The Accu-Liner is a quantum leap ahead of the measuring capabilities I have had in the past In addition to occlusal analysis, it can even record and produce the position of cranial bones with incredible accuracy -- in millimeters -- so I don't have to guess. That means I can design your orthopedic appliances to produce exact adjustments with the same accuracy.
