They provide comprehensive, minimally-invasive solutions for headaches, facial pain, and other symptoms associated with TMD, often utilizing devices like the MAGO (Maxillary-Anterior-Guided-Orthotic). Bechtel Dentistry also utilizes advanced technologies and techniques such as Guided Biofilm Therapy. This innovative approach offers a gentle, minimally invasive way to remove plaque and biofilm using warm water and specialized powder, reducing the need for traditional scraping and polishing. This aligns with their commitment to patient comfort and preserving healthy tooth structure.
