Dr. Silkman has an outstanding reputation in holistic dentistry, holistic orthodontics, TMJ treatment, and obstructive sleep apnea treatment. He does orthodontics using Advanced Lightwire Functionals, which is a state-of-the-art low force technique for achieving facial balance and correct oral posture. It is a technique requiring a lot of finesse and skill. Dr. Silkman always has a full slate of patients — so much so, that he doesn’t even need a website to promote his business (but maybe I should create one for him anyway). Two aspects of his orthodontic approach which distinguish them from most others in the profession are:

• Nutrition is an integral part of his therapeutic approach to TMJ. In fact, all the patients he takes on need to agree to follow his nutritional program.  From a nutritional point of view, you’re going to get really healthy. Definitely not for everyone, but he might be just right for you.
• He is an expert in cranial osteopathy and TMJ cranial therapy. Normally, you need to see another specialist in order to get this therapy.

The following article is written by Dr. Silkman, and it is one of the best I have ever read on facial development, the holistic implications of orthodontics, TMJ, and obstructive sleep apnea:

Note: It is wise to get multiple opinions before proceeding with an orthodontia procedure for TMJ. There are multiple approaches, and Advanced Lightwire Functionals is one such approach.
