Hi all,

 

I am looking for a holistic orthodontist who does not use head/neck gear, and avoids extractions to fix my son's underbite. Thx!

Hi Patty,

 

Our Intergrative Dr. give me information on a dentist in my area, that practiced more in a holistic way. She was loads of help when I need to know anything in our area that I just could not find in a phone book.

 

Hope all is well with you.

Pat,

 

That is interesting that you are looking for a holistic ortho. We had a consult from one in Washington, DC and he told me that headgear can cause problems down the road like TMJ. I was not able to find any info on this subject on the internet. Do you know of where I can read more about holistic orthodontics? I need to find a good ortho closer to home who is up on the latest in holistic orthodontics. Thanks

CP,

 

Unfortunately, two of our NPs do not know of any holistic orthodontists. I go to a holistic dentist and they gave me 2 referrals. One i was not certain about and the other one is a dentist doing orthodontic work. So i am still looking.
