CMIC Mission
Welcome to CMIC!
Our mission is to share the biological principles of adaptation and compensation behind any dental occlusal treatment with the goal of improving both oral and overall health.
Craniomandibular orthodontics is a concept introduced by the world-renowned Prof. Sadao Sato after researching for over four decades and concluding that the effects of the MEAW orthodontic technique along with functional restorative dental therapies over the occlusal plane influence both the jaws and the cranium to re-arrange in harmony without the need of orthognathic jaw surgery, bicuspid extractions and/or any other intraoral/extraoral device.
The concept of "occlusion medicine" was born when the teeth were able to functionally support the jaws and the jaw dimensions reached the maximum genetic potential and many ailments considered to be incurable by western medicine demonstrated drastic and long-term reliefs. The desire to share the holistic and integrative nature of the human dental occlusion and the orthodontic technique capable of allowing craniomandibular adaptation and compensation is at the core of CMIC.
About Us
Functional Orthodontics
"Life does not care about form. Life only cares about function".
-Prof. R. Slavicek.
The masticatory organ is what makes us human and allowed us to communicate and survive throughout the millennials. Curiously, no other living specie suffers from malocclusion as humans do. Ancient humans never had any crooked teeth, their nasal and oral cavities were several times bigger than ours. It is unsurprising to know that our jaws and cranium had narrowed especially during the last 300 years with the advent of drastic modifications in human masticatory function derived from diet and lifestyle changes. It is not an exaggeration to state that malocclusion with all its derivates is affecting humankind in detrimental ways. Craniomandibular orthodontic treatment based on organic dental occlusion and occlusal plane control replicates what nature intended to do in the first place. Once you practice orthodontics using MEAW and GEAW functional orthodontic techniques, you will make a profound change in patients' lives improving not only their smiles but their overall health!
Interdisciplinary Treatment Approach
In order to achieve an ideal masticatory organ function and stable orthodontic results, a multidisciplinary team approach becomes essential. We work closely with integrative Doctors of physical therapy, chiropractic, optometry, myofunctional therapy, ENT, and beyond to find and treat the source of the disease and restore the entire body!
Paradigm Shift
How would you feel to treat a patient with an open bite, underbite, overbite, or mandibular asymmetry without orthognathic jaw surgery? or provide pain relief for patients who suffer from chronic orofacial pain with no lasting improvement after a dozen of different treatments? or to drastically improve body posture for a patient who'd been treated for years at the chiropractic clinic? You will find answers to these questions and more at CMIC! But more importantly, practicing orthodontics and occlusal dentistry will become predictable and fun!
