- A young man travels from Pennsylvania to see Dr. Nick in Arkansas to see if he was a candidate for the bite alignment treatment known as MAGD (measured anterior guidance development) therapy to help him with his chronic problems that he has had while chewing for many years. This video documents what his experience was like seeing Dr. Nick for a bite/TMD consultation, start to finish. He and Dr. Nick explain many of the steps involved with the Neural Occlusion screening protocols, why they are done, and what they mean. Neural Occlusion screening = MRI & CBCT 3D imaging interpretation, EMG, Tscan, JVA; all of these technologies plus a very detailed and thorough and comprehensive exam. All of these steps are accomplished BEFORE we ever consider attempting DTR therapy (or any other type of bite, splint, or surgical manipulations), as we are objectively looking for stability in the jaw joint hinges (the TMJ's) themselves, as well as objectively measuring the muscles, the timing of the bite, etc. Finding a diagnosis precedes initiating treatment; MEASURED really MATTERS!
Dr. Nick discusses his rationale behind why he does what he does, and why it helps identify problems that typically are missed by others. He even describes how he applies many of these principles to his everyday practice of dentistry. Orthopedic and growth and development evaluations, the condition, position, and degree of herniation of the TMJ disks (or lack thereof), lack or presence of joint inflammation, status of the bone, muscular output measurements, force/time measurements between opposing teeth, and much more...
Dr. Yiannios calls the above protocols "Neural Occlusion" screening, and his teaching center, the Center for Neural Occlusion, strives to teach other health care providers these principles. Doctors who have (or are) undergoing training in this regard can be found on the Center for Neural Occlusion (CNO) website, CNOtmj.com. Dr. Yiannios' practice can be contact at: valana@drnickdds.com. Patients seeking out providers who follow the Neural Occlusion protocols on the CNO website are strongly encouraged to find doctors who have reached the level 3 status. Over time, more and more providers will pass through the curriculum and become listed as level 3. The higher their CNO level, the more able the provider will be to tie in the hard and soft tissue 3D imaging to the practical diagnosis and treatment of confounding bite and TMJ disorders.

Everyone should be a patient like this guy. You need to ask the right questions and take responsibility for understanding how to fix your health and not rely on doctors to make decisions without you understanding what’s going on. Great interaction
This was 5 years ago. Did he come back into his office to get the treatment he needed?
I’m in metro Detroit. Is there anyone close by trained in your methods? I was hit in the head by an 8 foot long falling metal bar which caused a concussion and screwed up my jaw; it doesn’t hinge right and really hurts to chew.
Wish you were my dentist.
How much does a consultation cost?
we cant all afford Dr. Piper. I wish he took insurance. I'd call him Monday to schedule my surgery. I just can't afford it though. And he won't take insurance. So. I'm screwed...?
IF my joints are in a bad condition (having scan on March 30th), is surgery the only option for me ?
Jimmy ...I have same question, I wish dr nick answers it.
I am assuming may be need to get repositioning split or something that positions the mandible so that it hurts less and then when they are stable try DTR if ever we reach that point depends on the doctor giving the splint and our own body to start to heal itself.
Not sure what you mean by bad condition but surgery should usually be your last option and should be the only option in extreme TMJ/TMD cases (once you've exhausted all other options).
I wonder if our work CPU and Cell Phone posture is increasing this Jaw Issues as we continue to drop our heads and our Jaws are out of the proper posture. Just a thought 💭
Most definately it does
Do any Canadian dentists or specialists practice these sorts of diagnostics?
Yes one in Alberta and one in toronto however alote of dentist do things differntly.

@@amalhassouna2130 All I did was typ dtr.Digital byte analysis.It came up in Toronto.Another is doctor bouchier in moncton NB.He does things verry difernt tho
That is SO weird. This is my second comment on one of Dr. Nick's videos and my "orofacial specialist" says the exact same thing every time she brings up Dr. Piper "I know him, we talk on the phone all the time, I guess you could say we're friends but I don't get any kickbacks for sending him patients." Why do you guys go out of your way to point that out? It never crossed my mind that you might be getting some kickback by sending him people to operate on at $40+k a pop until you mention it. Nobody just says that out of the blue. My other dentist who refereed me to another orofacial specialist at UF/Shands never said "I don't get any kickbacks from the university for sending them people". Something just seems kind of fishy to me the specialist I see that sent me to Piper AND now this guy - Dr. Nick - have both said the same thing - "I don't get any kickbacks for sending him people." I have a very hard time believing in coincidences. Something tells me you guys are getting something for sending people down to St. Pete to see Dr. Piper because normal people don't go out of their way to say that they're not. Why does Dr. Nick and my specialist (that as I'm writing this I'm now considering not going back to) try to sell us on Dr. Piper so hard? I went down there and paid the $1800 or $2000 for his "full day" consult which really was only about half an hour of Dr. Piper's time, and I got his whole sales pitch. I just can't afford the $40,000+ he wanted to do my surgeries. So I found Dr. Cheung who is also in St. Petersburg and went and saw him. He also recommended surgery but he said it doesn't have to be fat. He can use muscle or just about any tissue to do it and lower the cost. Plus, Dr. Cheung will take major medical insurance and I don't have to come up with the entire $40k up front. I just want to know why you guys say you don't get kickbacks when its obvious you probably are and why do you sell Dr. Piper so hard when there are other perfectly capable surgeons out there?
