What Is DTR Therapy?
To expand our abilities to help patients find relief, Dr. Lathrop has extensively studied Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR) Therapy, which is an innovative approach to correcting bite malfunctions that cause TMD and its chronic symptoms. By digitally measuring bite force and the action of clenching jaw muscles using Tekscan pressure mapping technology, we can identify bite and facial muscle disharmony that could lead to broken teeth, facial pain, migraine headaches, postural imbalances, and more. By determining the time it takes for all of your teeth to fully separate and come together, your dentist can more accurately diagnose your specific TMJ disorder and suggest the most effective treatment.
