Hi Priya:) I am a dentist&acupuncturist in the Vancouver area in BC Canada. Thank you for all the insightful and informative videos. I plan to learn DTR as well to maximize the function of Tscan we have in the clinic. 1. Did you get Tscan and EMG ? 2. Have you ever tried to learn ALF therapy?
@@sominkwon3919 1. yes and I love it! 2. Learning ALF therapy is incredibly time consuming and costly and it is Phase 2 treatment. I only do phase treatment currently :)
Yes! After root canal treatment and a pulled molar. Same symptoms. Every single one of them. Seen so many specialsts. The thing is I live in Europe and I feel we're so behind here. I'm in daily pain since my dental treatment 4 years ago. I never had any tooth or face or neckpain in my life before it. Yet doctors say it's stress or tmjd or lack of sleep, I even heard fybromyalgia. I told them: listen, this pain started right after this dental treatment and hasn't been gone ever" isn't that a huge sign? I feel so let down by doctors. No scans were done but only xrays, they made me a call mouth guard. Doesn't help. Have done botox.. Doesn't help. No one has ever mentioned this. And I don't even think they believe this exists. Cause I've seen everyone and they don't have a clue. 😢
Hey Priya! I’m the first DTR certified provider in the UK, Cavan. Pleased to virtually meet you! I was wondering now that you have started pursuing DTR, how does that leave your orthotics practice? Is it only for ‘true joint-only’ patients? How would you phase treatment for a mixed myogenous + joint case -- Would you start with orthotics as you have done successfully, or start with DTR, since DTR tends to reduce the joint problems as well ? (Piper classifications go down 1 class on average)
There’s no way I can answer this via comments! These are complicated questions! DTR has definitely changed my practice for the better - that much I can say 🤍

This is a great tool but I wish it was regulated better. My story is exactly like the example you gave. I went to a dentist to use the t-scan and he took too much off my molars and adjusted my bite to have more pressure on the front teeth. This particular dentist uses the t-scan as a marketing tool to claim he can fix tmj for anyone. His adjustments made my tmj worse and I had to get more adjustments 😢.
@@theTMJdoc his name is Dr. Hill at Artisan Dental in Cottonwood Heights Utah. He has 5 star reviews, so I thought he would be a good doctor, but the way he uses the T-scan is a scam. He didn’t even offer a treatment plan or ask consent before he started adjusting my teeth.
@@christiea.6778 oh no! Sorry to hear that! You want to look for someone who is DTR Certified! I should be getting my certification in October or November.. this website has a list of DTR certified providers: www.digitalocclusionseminars.com/dtr-providers.html
@@theTMJdoc Thank you! I just checked and there isn’t anyone in Utah who is certified. I wonder how he got the machine if he isn’t certified in it? I’m trying to save to come see you in Washington- the tmj doctors I’ve seen here are not great unfortunately.
My teeth worn (molars also) after eating very hard almonds. Only one tooth was able to touch when chewing plus also have class 2 maloclusion . And year later I got clicking and popping jaw. What's my question is that was this responsibile for my jaw pain?

Surgery is a last resort!
Dr Priya do you know a Dr like you in Ontario, Canada? Or anywhere close to me? I am suffering. Please help. Thanks

@@christiea.6778 you can still get the machine even without being certified. Getting certified means you take extra courses and an examination.
Is burning mouth/tomgue is a TMJ symstoms ??
They can be
Can tmj orthotic initially increase pain ?
Yes!
My teeth worn (molars also) after eating very hard almonds. Only one tooth was able to touch when chewing plus also have class 2 maloclusion . And year later I got clicking and popping jaw. What's my question is that was this responsibile for my jaw pain?
There’s no way I can answer this over the internet and without examining you. Sorry!
Do tmj cause stomach issues ?
Not directly. But sometimes the pain from TMD can trap your body in fight or flight mode which can then affect your digestive system.
