For years, dental occlusion had been largely a matter of guesswork for dentists. Articulation paper, waxes, pressure indicator paste, Electromyography etc. were all dentists had to assess and balance the forces of occlusion. Most of these methods are not sensitive enough to detect simultaneous contact, and none measure both biting time and force.
There has long been the theory that the occlusion plays an interactive role with the TM joints and craniofacial muscles. Unfortunately, there was no way to objectively measure the function of Occlusion, Muscles, and the TMJ's, until now.
BioRESEARCH clients and lecturers around the world use objective documentation such as the T-Scan II, BioEMG, Joint Vibration Analysis and the all new TSCAN EMG link to understand the interrelationship between the "TMJ's" Teeth, Muscles, Joints and how to balance this system into beautiful form and function.

Dr. Wahib is a member of the Academy Of Dental Sleep Medicine and American Association of Functional Orthodontics. He achieved Diplomate status in the American Academy of Craniofacial pain and is a Fellow in the International College of Cranio-Mandibular Orthopedics. The office utilizes the most advanced technology to accurately diagnose and treat head, neck and facial pain, and sleep disordered breathing. Many patients require the care of more than one physician. Drs. Wahib welcome a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment that focuses on treating the whole patient rather than just symptoms.
