General OSB^® Therapy Procedure:

1.      An initial history is obtained to determine if you are a candidate for OSB. This allows us to learn as much about you and your unique situation to help you achieve greater wellness.  

2.      Diagnostic casts from impressions from the patient are made to study tooth anatomy, jaw configuration, etc. Using official OSB^® equipment, specific body measurements are taken for analysis. This includes cephalometric x-ray, heart rate variability, ekg and posture measurements from OSB Posture Pro.   This visit takes about 90 minutes.

3.      A treatment plan and type of orthotic is determined by individual conditions and needs.

4.     The diagnostic casts are sent to Tacoma, Washington for the orthotic to be exclusively processed and created.  

5.      Once the orthotic is created (which takes about 2-3 weeks), it is delivered to the patient followed by an extensive OSB^® interview which allows the patient to understand and experience the Oral Systemic Balance^®. During the delivery visit, the OSB^® practitioner will adjust the orthotic to balance the throat, tongue, and jaw into a more harmonized relationship. Many times it is at this visit that initial results can be seen.   This visit  takes about 2 hours.

6.      At first, adjustments and maintenance of this balance needs to be made on weekly basis. Later, the duration for the maintenance visits will become months apart depending on individual needs. Each visit ranges from 30-60 minutes.
