Dr. Curtis Westersund practices out of Calgary, Canada, but his knowledge and passion for dentistry are spread all over the world. He focuses on the treatment of TMJ disorder, sleep apnea, and chronic pain, holding lectures at various locations near and far.

“Dental malocclusions are at the root of many of a dentist’s frustrating dental problems. Understanding how digital occlusal technology can help change the physiologic strain of a malocclusion is the key to getting patients better. My approach is to look at how a patient’s malocclusion first creates a problem and then how to use T-Scan technology to resolve the problem.”

 

– Dr. Curtis Westersund
