Dental Somatic Integration™

There is a new field evolving that we describe as Dental Somatic Integration. In this work of Dental Somatic Integration™ we draw upon all the advances made previously in Orthodontics & Oral-Facial Orthopedics and combine this knowledge with an understanding of how the body works.

body out of balance

In this new field which provides an answer to many different health problems, we work closely on your behalf with other practitioners, in fields such as Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Medicine, Physical Therapy, Acupuncture, etc. Dento-Somatic Integration is a process by which we facilitate the integration of the body, so that the jaw system is working in harmony and supporting balance throughout the whole.

If you are experiencing. . . .

  • TMJ problems; discomfort as you open and close your mouth.
  • Discomfort in your jaw muscles as you chew and even when at rest
  • Ear symptoms; pain, stuffiness or itching, loss of hearing, dizziness, tinnitus
  • Eye symptoms; pain in or behind the eyes, blurring of vision
  • Facial / body imbalances (see right)
  • Joint or muscle pain and stiffness

Then Dental Somatic Integration™ may be right for you. We can do a thorough examination to determine if it will benefit your mouth as well as your entire body. We will then use integrative Orthodontics that straighten teeth, create beautiful smiles, and improve the posture and function of the body, utilizing the latest functionally oriented orthodontic techniques combined with a holistic approach to correct alignment of the whole body... we call it Dental Somatic Integration™. We use the most advanced methods available in orthodontics today; Damon Braces, Invisalign™ and ALF's (also known as light wire functional appliances).
