Whole-body orthodontics is a comprehensive approach to orthodontic treatment that considers the entire body rather than just the teeth and jaws.

The procedure focuses on establishing a healthy balance among the whole body to achieve optimal orthodontic alignment, function, and aesthetics.

It involves a thorough evaluation of the patient's posture, muscle function, and breathing to identify any underlying issues that may be affecting their orthodontic health.

Based on the assessment findings, the orthodontist may recommend a combination of orthodontic treatment, myofunctional therapy, and other complementary modalities such as osteopathy or craniosacral therapy.

Whole-body orthodontics recognizes that the health of the teeth, jaws, and face is intimately connected to the overall health of the body, and seeks to achieve optimal alignment and function while promoting overall wellness.

The Balanced Beauty Lyft®️ procedure is a holistic approach to restoring facial harmony and youthfulness that focuses on establishing a healthy balance among the whole body.

In this procedure, the teeth are restored to their natural proportions, which in turn creates a more youthful, attractive appearance.

Unlike traditional facelifts that require surgery, this non-surgical facelift procedure does not involve any incisions or sutures.

The procedure begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's dental and facial anatomy, including the teeth, jaw, and soft tissues.

This evaluation helps to identify any dental issues that may be contributing to facial asymmetry, such as uneven or worn teeth, a misaligned bite, or a collapsed jawline.

Once these issues have been identified, the dentist will use a combination of techniques, such as orthodontics, restorative dentistry, and neuromuscular dentistry, to restore the teeth to their natural proportions and improve the balance of the facial structure.

This this a not an invasive procedure and requires no surgery or something along those lines

Natural sedation in holistic dentistry refers to the use of natural remedies and techniques to help patients relax and reduce anxiety during dental procedures.

Unlike traditional sedation methods that use drugs such as nitrous oxide or oral sedatives, our natural sedation techniques provide the body with natural supplements that encourage a restful state of mind, eliminating distracting external stimuli, and applying gentle micro-current that induces relaxation within the brain,.

These natural remedies and techniques are intended to promote a calm and relaxed state of mind and reduce stress and anxiety associated with dental procedures.

They are often used in conjunction with other holistic dental treatments, such as ozone therapy or homeopathy, to provide a more natural and holistic approach to dental care.

The goal of natural sedation in holistic dentistry is to provide a safe and effective alternative to traditional sedation methods that may have side effects or interactions with other medications.

By using natural remedies and techniques, patients can feel more in control of their dental experience and enjoy a more comfortable and relaxed visit to the dentist.

Whole-body balancing is a non-invasive treatment for TMJ disorder that aims to establish a healthy balance throughout the body to alleviate symptoms of jaw pain, discomfort, and limited movement. The procedure involves a comprehensive assessment of the patient's posture, alignment, and musculoskeletal system, as well as an evaluation of any emotional or psychological factors that may be contributing to their TMJ symptoms.

Treatment uses various manual techniques, such as soft tissue release, joint mobilization, and myofascial stretching, to release tension and restore mobility in the affected areas. They may also recommend exercises or relaxation techniques to help manage stress and improve overall body awareness.

Whole-body balancing is a holistic approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of the body and seeks to address the root causes of TMJ disorder rather than just treating the symptoms. It can be used alone or in conjunction with other treatments such as oral appliances or medication, depending on the individual needs of the patient. Overall, it aims to promote healing and restore balance to the body, resulting in reduced pain and improved function for those with TMJ disorder.

I want to thank my patient for taking the time to write my latest google review: "I have been to more than 7 dentists throughout my life & 3 Aestheticians during adulthood, all in attempts to find a very clean, professional, knowledgeable, & friendly business to which I could dedicate my patronage. It shouldn’t have been so hard to find an office that met my criteria; after all, dentists & facial aestheticians should be skilled, clean, & professional. I was getting discouraged when a friend recommended I see Dr. Roland at THE CENTER FOR INNOVATIVE DENTISTRY & FACIAL AESTHETICS. I called to schedule an initial evaluation & from my very first encounter with Dr. Roland’s assistant through the countless appointments since, I've encountered continuous professionalism, kindness, & a dentist/BOTOX aesthetician with a gentle hand. I’ve never looked forward to going to the dentist, and many people don’t, but I can guarantee that once you become one of Dr. Roland’s patients, you’ll never miss or reschedule a check-up again. My entire family sees Dr. Roland, my 10-year-old daughter, 16-year-old son, & 45-year-old husband, & we all feel as strongly about her personality & services, we’ll never go anywhere else than her office. My husband didn’t go to the dentist for years because of a CRIPPLING FEAR of dentists & once he saw Dr. Roland, his attitude & outlook on dental maintenance changed. I was nervous that getting BOTOX & FILLER would hurt & not be worth it, BOY WAS I WRONG, Dr. Roland explained the entire process for each, took her time, & made sure I was entirely comfortable throughout my visits. I’ll never give my family’s patronage to any other HOLISTIC DENTIST in ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY."

I would love for your feedback too!

The oral cavity has the second largest and diverse microbiota after the gut harboring over 700 species of bacteria. It nurtures numerous microorganisms which include bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa. The mouth with its various niches is an exceptionally complex habitat where microbes colonize the hard surfaces of the teeth and the soft tissues of the oral mucosa. In addition to being the initiation point of digestion, the oral microbiome is crucial in maintaining oral as well as systemic health.

The oral microbiome usually exists in the form of a biofilm. It plays a crucial role in maintaining oral homeostasis, protecting the oral cavity, and preventing disease development.
