Dr. Hira Khan’s Journey

As a dental student, I always had plethora of questions to understand the physics and biology the way jaw joints and teeth function to withstand chewing forces. In my teenage years, I suffered with bite problems that later on caused me TMJ dysfunction, headaches and chronic head & neck pain.

I wondered that there has to be a correlation of jaw joints with occlusion (the way teeth bite together) and its musculature. It is imperative to look into the entire system altogether. In my quest, I happened to meet great instructors who became my mentors later on. I started learning about occlusion, bite, jaw joints, airway through different CE courses and wasn’t just satisfied. Orthopedic instability of the jaw joints was the main missing link, and I knew that without addressing the root cause, TMJ dysfunction and bite problems cannot have the right balance.

‘When a student is ready, teacher appears’. That’s exactly what happened with me. One of my instructors carved my path to learn these principles through Orognathic Bioesthetics International/ Foundation of Bioesthetic Dentistry where the entire chewing system is considered as one to understand the disease process that can result in TMJ problems, tooth wear, fractures of teeth, worn down smiles, sleep disordered breathing and more.

Function, comfort, health, balance, beauty and harmony can be achieved in the entire oral system that we call ‘SMILES FOR LIFE’ at Dental Distinction.
