This channel is for people to understand and learn about things orthodontic related with a strong emphasis on TMJ. My philosophic approach to orthodontic treatment is to treat patients using JOINT BASED OCCLUSION. this is an approach developed by Dr Mark Piper from St Petersburg Florida. That approach is to treat the TMJ as the foundation by which the mandible (lower jaw) functions in relation to the maxilla (upper jaw), whether it is normal or damaged. The sad truth is a majority of the people don't even realize they have a joint problem (TMJ) and live their life with pain that can be treated.
