For dentists, orthodontists & oral surgeons
A collaborative partner for your TMJ and airway patients
Dr. Grace Cho provides gentle, non-invasive whole-body care that complements dental, orthodontic and surgical treatment—addressing the cranial, cervical, postural and breathing factors that often accompany jaw dysfunction. As a mobile chiropractor, she can see co-managed patients right in your office.
How co-management works
Care that fits around your treatment plan
Before treatment
Assessment of cranial, cervical and postural patterns, along with breathing habits, so patients begin dental or orthodontic care with less compensation working against it.
During treatment
Support as patients adapt to splints, appliances or aligners: easing muscle tension, addressing cervical and postural strain, and retraining nasal breathing and posture.
After treatment
Following surgical clearance or the completion of orthodontic care, ongoing support to help patients stay comfortable and maintain stability over time.
Who may benefit
Patients who often do well with co-management
- TMD patients with neck, postural or headache involvement
- Patients in splint, appliance or airway-focused orthodontic therapy
- Patients with mouth breathing, forward head posture or tongue-posture concerns
- Orthognathic surgery patients, before surgery and after clearance
- Patients with persistent jaw tension or orofacial discomfort
- Patients who prefer to explore non-invasive options alongside your care
