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?

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 😢.

Not directly. But sometimes the pain from TMD can trap your body in fight or flight mode which can then affect your digestive system.
