RESTORING HARMONY BETWEEN YOUR TEETH, MUSCLES, AND JOINTS

DTR Therapy (Disclusion Time Reduction Therapy)

DTR Therapy is an advanced treatment that helps your teeth and jaw work together more smoothly. It uses real-time data from our T-Scan™ system to find exactly where your bite is uneven and then gently adjusts those areas to take the pressure off your jaw muscles.


By doing so, it reduces the strain that causes jaw pain, clicking, and headaches, often providing noticeable relief within one or two sessions. When your bite isn’t perfectly balanced, some muscles work harder than others even when you’re not chewing.


Over time, this can lead to tightness, pain, or fatigue. DTR Therapy corrects those tiny imbalances with exceptional accuracy, helping your jaw relax and move freely again.

 

Relief in milliseconds

DTR Therapy corrects your disclusion time, the fraction of a second your teeth stay in contact to help muscles relax almost instantly. 

Microscopic precision

Each adjustment removes less enamel than the thickness of a strand of hair, yet the difference in comfort can be dramatic. 

Results you can feel

Many patients notice their jaw feeling lighter and more relaxed right after treatment, often without needing splints or long-term appliances. 

The Science Behind a Balanced Bite

How DTR Therapy Helps Your Jaw Work in Harmony

 Teeth and muscles

out of sync

When your bite isn’t even, your jaw muscles have to work harder to keep things aligned.

This constant tension limits how smoothly your jaw can move — often causing tightness, clicking, or fatigue.

Timing makes the

difference

DTR Therapy focuses on disclusion time,  how long your teeth stay in contact as you move your jaw. By shortening this time, your muscles can relax sooner, allowing your jaw to open, close, and move naturally without strain.

Small changes,

big relief

Using digital feedback from T-Scan™, we make tiny adjustments that balance pressure across every tooth.

With even contact and relaxed muscles, your jaw joints can glide freely, improving function and comfort with every movement.

The Benefits of a Balanced Bite


A balanced bite means your teeth, muscles, and joints all share the workload evenly. Through DTR Therapy, you may experience:


Fewer headaches and less tension through the jaw, temples, and neck.

Experience recurring headaches, neck tension, or ear discomfort that don’t respond to traditional care.

Reduced clenching and grinding, especially during stress or sleep.

Easier, more comfortable chewing and speaking.

Long-term protection for teeth, restorations, and jaw joints.

A smoother, more natural bite that feels light and effortless.

Relief from jaw and facial pain caused by muscle overuse.

FAQs

  • How many sessions will I need?

    Most people only need one or two sessions.

    In complex cases, a short follow-up may be recommended to ensure full stability and comfort.

  • Will DTR Therapy change how my teeth look?

    No. Adjustments are microscopic, often removing less than the width of a human hair.

    They don’t alter the appearance of your teeth; they simply correct how they meet and move.

  • Can DTR Therapy replace a splint or night guard?

    Often, yes.

    Because DTR Therapy addresses the source of muscle overuse rather than masking the symptoms, many patients no longer need to rely on appliances afterward.

  • How long do the results last?

    Results are long-lasting because the treatment creates a stable, balanced bite.

    We may suggest a check-up if you have major dental work or notice new changes in your bite later on.

  • s this just for people with TMJ problems?

    No  it’s also ideal for people who grind, clench, or simply feel their bite is “off.”

    Even without TMJ pain, balancing your bite can reduce tension, headaches, and uneven tooth wear.

  • Will it stop me grinding my teeth at night?

    For many patients, yes , or it greatly reduces the intensity. Grinding is often your body’s way of trying to self-correct a bite imbalance. Once that imbalance is fixed, your muscles can finally rest.

  • How is this different from traditional bite adjustments?

    Traditional methods rely on coloured bite paper ,but that only shows where teeth touch, not when or how hard.

    DTR Therapy uses digital data and timing precision to correct bite forces at a level that paper can’t detect.
