  • Who "Nose" This Hack to Protecting Yourself From viruses?

    Focus on replacing mouth breathing with nasal breathing, it's really that simple! Did you know? Your Nose is your first Line of Defense Against majority of Viruses, Bacteria, Fungi, etc? When you breathe through your nose properly, the air that enters your body is sterilized by Nitric Oxide (NO). NO is such a powerful gas that when combined with Nitrogen, it becomes a commonly used sterilization substance in the medical field to disinfect tools. Studies have shown #antiviral activity of Nitric Oxide gas. To maximize the sterilizing effects of NO gas in your body, consciously replace mouth #breathing with nasal breathing. Nitric Oxide: "Molecule of the Year" In 1989, Nitric Oxide was named "Molecule of the Year" by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. So what exactly is Nitric Oxide? It's a colorless gas that your body is constantly producing in your #paranasal #sinuses. It improves pulmonary function as well as sterilizes the air that enters your body.

  • Expert Spotlight: Dr. William Williams

    Dr. Bill Williams is the founder of Solstice Dental Advisers and director of the 5M Masterminds- a program where dentists learn to produce $10,000/day and market & manage multi-million dollar practices. Over his 45 years in practice he has been a noted international speaker, business coach, #1 best-selling author and clinician all while maintaining a thriving private practice in Suwanee, GA. As for Dr. Williams select accomplishments, he has achieve Mastership status at the most reputable International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics (ICCMO) and the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD). He earned Small Business Person of the Year in 2005 as well as the Ron Lamb Award from Christian Dental Society in 2007. He is a certified Guerrilla Marketing instructor and certified trainer for Bio Dent Inc.'s Ultra Tooth Implant System. Most recently, Dr. Williams has focused on teaching about pediatric airway development, dental practice management and the Ultra Tooth Replacement System. He held lectures on the Smiles At Sea Cruise in Havana, Cuba & at the annual ICCMO conference in Kansas City. Dr. Williams also dedicated his time to teaching medical physicians and dentists in DaNang and Hanoi, Vietnam. On December 4th, I got the chance to sit down with Dr. Williams to discuss his career and his thoughts on Myoaligner® treatment protocols. The Interview Can you start by telling me a little bit about your background in dentistry? I've had 45 years in dentistry, starting in 1975. My first class was in St. Petersburg with Pete Dawson. I came back and went to Harold Gelb's class and said "this is conflicting information." But then I took Barney Jankelson's (a renowned prosthodontist) class up in Seattle and I felt it was compatible information [with Harold Gelb's philosophy.] With my background in occlusion and TMJ, I started teaching TMJ, orthodontics and [dental] reconstruction back in the early 80's. I traveled around the U.S. as an instructor for the United States Dental Institute and I enjoyed that. Along with my colleagues, I started a group called TMJ Framework. It was a residency type of program that [I co-founded]. We ran that for 10 years but eventually I packed up everything and sold the practice in Stone Mountain. I moved up to Suwanee, GA at age 48 to start over again. I built a nice big practice here and have continued to be in business there for about 23 years. That's awesome. What are you doing right now? My favorite thing, what I really focus on mostly is practice management. Things like how to build a profitable practice, how to market, and grow your practice. I [also] teach implant & bone grafting and oral systematic connections. There are tons of things I like to talk about but the business of dentistry is my significant focus. Would you say that the business of dentistry is the most interesting part of dentistry for you? What specifically interests you? Well, my intention is to really focus on technology. Specifically Redox, which is a signaling technology. It's a new emerging science that's never come to dentistry until this year. I enjoy bringing Redox technology into the dental practice to show dentists, hygienists and [other people in the workforce] how it works. [All in hopes that they will] implement the program so people get the advantage of having this health and wellness supplement added to their daily regimen. I've never seen anything quite like it in all my years of practice. It is something that will benefit more people. I am making it a mission to focus on that for the next 5-10 years. In addition, I will continue what I already do which is teaching the practice development and business side of dentistry and what I call Decathlon Dentistry - the implants, the bone grafts, the TMJ and the Neuromuscular Dentistry. How have you seen technology impact your specific practice? I've always been a high tech kind of dentist and we computerized in 1981. We got the Kinesograph, the forerunner to the K7 Scanner in 1979. I have always been on the edge of whoever's creating something unique, I tried to find it and use it. I got a T-Scan back in 1987. If I had a dollar for every toy I bought, I would've probably had enough to retire already! I don't think it was the money I made from using the toys that was most valuable. The value came from the perception of the patients. They gave me a significant advantage over other dentists because I was into high tech equipment and they couldn't do things that I could do. It's just a matter of staying on the edge of the learning stage of technology. You will always stay ahead of the curve that way. Awesome! So I just have one more question to wrap it. What would be your advice for new dentists? My advice for new dentists: if they don't know Comprehensive Dentsitry, they need to learn it. If they already know, then they need to experience what Myoaligner® educations would do for them as far as a extending their reach. Get in Touch With Dr. Williams!

  • Sitting Down With Dr. Maryam Motlagh, Co-Founder and CEO of Myoaligner®

    Dr. Maryam Motlagh Dr. Maryam Motlagh is a general and cosmetic dentist who focuses in TMJ treatments at her Portland, OR based private practice, Aesthetic Smiles. After decades of treating patients with TMJ and related dental jaw alignment issues. Today, I got the chance to sit down with Dr. Maryam Motlagh and talk to her about her research and experience. The Interview Q: Tell me about your education, where did you study? A: I have dedicated my professional life to helping patients improve their smiles and overall health with natural, non-surgical, & bio-remodeling techniques. I sought extensive training in post-doctorate institutes including Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry & Spear center and Las Vegas Institute (LVI) to help patients alleviate the pain associated with poor bite alignment commonly known as TMJ. As a Fellow of International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics, my research has led to Myoaligner®, a PACE approved dental technology company that provides general dentists with the latest education on the connection between poor jaw alignment and other aliments like TMJ disorders and even sleep apnea. Q: What do you consider to be your specialties? A: The focus of my practice is cosmetic and complex restorative dentistry which has led to my nationally recognized Smile Makeovers by the American Academy of cosmetic Dentistry. The comprehensive approach to patient care is the driving force behind everything I do. I believe that beyond providing my patients with a beautiful smile I can also offer treatments that lead to better jaw alignment & improved facial profile. I am passionate about bringing awareness on TMJ/TMD treatments to patients and providers around the world. Q: Could you explain what a comprehenisve approach is? Why do you feel it is the best way to treat patients? A: a comprehensive approach in dentistry goes beyond fixing one or 2 teeth and takes into consideration the harmonious function of the entire masticatory system: muscles, joints and teeth . For example, I have a patient who suffers from TMJ disorders and experiences intense headaches and jaw clicking when she eats & talks. Instead of suggesting she take pain relief medications, I will determine the root cause of her pain. In this case, if her pain is caused by the misalignment of her bite. I can alleviate the bulk of the pain by relaxing the jaw muscles and supporting the the jaw in that relaxed position with custom made dental devices. Once relief of symptoms are achieved, we plan on a long term solution by correcting the bite either with orthodontic or restorative options. The comprehensive approach can be utilized in many ways, but I have found it very beneficial in treating TMJ patients. People who suffer from common TMJ symptoms may not even know they have TMJ, which is why I believe education and awareness is critical for both patients and providers. Q: Each year, more than 3 million people report symptoms of TMJ/TMD. Can you explain what TMJ/TMD is? A: TMJ stands for Temporomandibular Joint, so technically everybody has TMJ. People associate symptoms like jaw popping, muscle spasms in their face or pain when eating to be linked with TMJ. Actually the correct term is TMD or Temporomandibular Disorder. Usually TMD is caused by misalignment of the upper and lower teeth which negatively effects the muscles and jaw alignment. Q: Do you have a solution? A: Yes. In my opinion the best solution is a comprehensive and non invasive approach. Some people have TMD caused by a bad bite, others cannot breath or swallow correctly due to chronic congestions and mouth breathing which causes mal-occlusion. To have a good orthopedic balance in the jaw and the head and neck, the bones, muscles and teeth all need to work together in harmony. After years of treating patients suffering from TMD, I have put a multidiciplinary protocol together based on physiologic, functional and Neuromuscular treatment modalities. Q: What is your mission with Myoaligner®? A: Our mission is to empower dentists with training, knowledge and simple solutions so they can expand their treatment services and impact millions of lives.
