Why Choose Us

Our solutions for your patients in distress

Restore function and rest:
  • Management of TMD: Use of bite plans (muscle-relaxing splints) to reprogram the musculature before any occlusal rehabilitation.
  • Sleep Apnea Syndrome: In agreement with the pulmonologist, millimetric titration of the mandibular advancement to clear the aeropharyngeal junction.
  • Severe Bruxism: Protection of joint and dental surfaces, followed by orthodontic equilibration if the etiology is mechanical.
For a consultation

A clear and controlled medical care process in 4 steps.

1. Clinical Examination & Imaging

Muscle palpation, TMJ auscultation, and Cone Beam to check the integrity of the condyles and the volume of the airways.

2. Emergency treatment (SADAM)

Optical impression and rapid fabrication of a disocclusion splint to stop pain and muscle spasm.

3. The titration phase (OAM)

For sleep, progressive adjustment of the advancement orthosis in collaboration with the polygraphic recording of the sleep physician.

4. Occlusal rehabilitation

If the splint proves that the problem is occlusal, we offer definitive orthodontic treatment to secure the jaw in its comfortable position.
