Discover the untapped production potential in every case.
Everyday Occlusion will open your eyes to the dentistry that you’re leaving undone. For too many dentists, occlusion was a topic in dental school based on a rigid philosophy that really doesn't seem to apply to the dentistry you are doing on a daily basis.
This course will teach dentists an array of treatment options that lead to improved outcomes for patients. Forget everything you think you know about occlusion and prepare for a paradigm shift with unlimited possibilities.
A changed dentist speaks for herself.
Thousands of dentists have increased production using our approach to occlusion.

I was blown away!
"Every dentist should start with this course. It has become the foundation to how I approach all my cases and it allowed me to deliver better treatment options while increasing the production in my practice."
