At Erskine Family Dentistry, we offer DTR (Disclusion Time Reduction) Therapy, a specialized treatment for TMJ disorders and facial pain. This innovative therapy is designed to address bite issues that may lead to chronic pain, discomfort, and jaw tension. What is DTR Therapy? DTR therapy focuses on optimizing the timing and coordination of your bite. By reducing the disclusion time between teeth when you chew, it helps relieve pressure on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding muscles. This results in reduced pain, improved jaw function, and less facial discomfort. Why Choose DTR Therapy? • Effective Pain Relief: DTR therapy targets the root cause of TMJ disorders, offering long-lasting relief from jaw, head, and neck pain. • Non-Surgical Solution: Unlike traditional treatments, DTR therapy is a non-invasive, pain-free procedure that requires no surgery or lengthy recovery. • Personalized Care: Each treatment plan is tailored to your unique dental and medical needs, ensuring the most effective results for your specific condition. If you suffer from jaw pain, headaches, facial discomfort, or teeth grinding, DTR therapy might be the solution you’ve been searching for. Our team at Erskine Family Dentistry is committed to helping you find relief and improve your quality of life. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn how DTR therapy can help you achieve a pain-free smile!
While DTR therapy is most commonly used for patients with TMJ disorders, the treatment is not limited to TMJ. If you are experiencing the following symptoms, DTR therapy could be right for you: • TMJ disorder symptoms • Bite feels off/pain after dental work • Bite feels off/pain after braces or Invisalign • Facial pain, Meniere’s Disease - Vertigo, Trigeminal Neuralgia pain • Migraines and other headache pain • Neck pain / Cervical Dystonia We can use DTR therapy to determine what is causing bite pain or discomfort for each patient’s individual situation. Patients can experience a reduction in pain and discomfort after just one appointment. If DTR Therapy is something you are interested in, please call for a consultation. Dr. Susan Cocquyt and Dr. Lori Risser are two of only 49 dentists in the world that are DTR Certified.
"I have had a LOT of dentists in my life (I've moved a zillion times) but the folks at Erskine Family are THE BEST I've EVER had by far. I just had two fillings redone in spots that have previously been very painful and problematic for other dentists to deal with. At Erskine, it could not have been a better experience, and the resin fillings look beautiful. They are so skilled, nice, helpful, and organized. Thank you all,"
