CNO Foundations – Online Webinar Format

Designed to systematically disprove the dogmatic approaches relating to dental occlusion, proferring an understanding of how measurable neurologic, orthopedic, and timing issues associated with the human bite can profoundly and positively improve patient outcomes.

Course Features

Certification Overview

Measured Matters

CNO Foundations (CNOF) is highly recommended for all health care professionals, including any dental professional, physician, naturopath, dental laboratory technician, chiropractor, or dental student who is interested in vetting mainstream thinking regarding dental occlusion (especially in regards to how the occlusion can be responsible for confounding chronic tension headaches).  This is the basic CNO course designed to underline the flaws in mainstream occlusal diagnostic and treatment concepts.

Level Requirements

3 CE Hours

CNO Foundations curriculum is designed for professionals who wish to learn more about DTR therapy and 3D imaging, and how this digitally-centric knowledge base, in particular, pertains to occlusal and TMJ pathology.  A separate CNOF exam is available to allow a doctor a listing within the CNO “find-a-doc” database so that patients may find them as having been introduced to CNO concepts.

What You’ll Learn

Online Course: A Slideshow With Interactive Video Links

Enrollees will be better armed to help diagnose occlusal (bite) and TMD related conditions such as headaches, nonspecific orofacial pains, and TMD-related neck and shoulder pains in ways that are not taught in any other mainstream curriculum in existence.  A basic introduction to digital occlusal/T-Scan analysis, TMJ MRI and TMJ CBCT, EMG, and more is proferred.

  • Washes away the “dogma” that exists in dental medicine
  • Explains why MEASURED MATTERS using scientific references
  • TMJ MRI & TMJ CBCT importance for dental practice
  • Osteochondral growth defects & how stagnated TMJ growth can directly affect the occlusion

TESTIMONIALS

What Patients Say

“Before the computerized bite alignment, my mouth was telling my brain that things weren’t right, but I didn’t know what to do about it. Several months after having gone through the treatment, I have nothing bad to say about it! If things keep going the way they are, I’m going to be a very happy person! The things that I’ve done w/ this disability… imagine what I’m going to do without it! I’m going to take over!” His case study: https://youtu.be/AWv-1-_JhKQ

Taner A Patient

“Nobody in my area, not one dentist, could get my bite right. Every time I had dental work done, the bite was shifting all over to the point that I had teeth banging from my front teeth to my back teeth. Jaw pain, headaches in the back of my head, neck and shoulder pain; all of that has improved since getting my bite balanced to the way it was supposed to be!” Her case study: https://youtu.be/rJEN8CoqGTA
