Dr. Curtis Westersund practices dentistry in Calgary, Canada, but his expertise and enthusiasm extend across the globe. Specializing in treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, sleep apnea, and chronic pain, he travels extensively to deliver lectures and share insights with fellow dental professionals.

"Dental malocclusions often lie at the heart of many frustrating dental issues. Grasping how digital occlusal technology can alleviate the physiological strain caused by malocclusions is essential for improving patient outcomes. My focus is to identify how a patient's malocclusion leads to problems and then utilize T-Scan technology to address them effectively."
