Dr. Kaspers has created a course to aid both orthodontists and dentists diagnose their patients more accurately by utilizing 3D technology.  Course participants will learn how to diagnose their patients correctly to help them find the structural imbalances which are the cause of their TMD.  Participants will also learn how to treat the patient to a balanced occlusion.
