Treating your Body as on ORKESTRIAL SYMPHONY, where every part plays on important role in the HOLISTIC approach!!!
The following web site is expressing my knowledge, experience and believes acquired during the 44 years of my medical and dental practices for the purpose of a human well being..
CONFUSION is the most dangerous feeling a human being may have. Why? It creates FEAR & leads to self PROTECTION. Because once confused not many will admit that having on open mind, study, expend knowledge on the subject or actually do something for clarity on the subject is the solution. In reality just the opposite happens: " You know what you know and no one can convince you otherwise". But how about what you don�t know ? Or even worse: you don�t know what you don�t know ??? Are you hopeless?
Therefore, what I am begging the reader is: have patience, do not make speedy conclusions or decisions. Read through the few pages, see if it makes sense to you. If it does, better give me a call and I will help to put clarity in to your doubts.
DISCOVER the Power of Mouth Space Restructuring & Body Revitalizing, a HOLISTIC alternative healing for Medically compromised Children & Adults.
The concept developed and used by Dr. Micki Gelb is: Holistic Intra - Oral Cranio Maxillary - Vertebrae - Mandibular Integration. Applying this concept is the only way to Holistically correct, improve, rejuvenate and Heal.TM It is about considering The Mouth (Oral Cavity) as the source of Body Health & Wellness vs Illnesses.
IMPORTANCE of Structural MOUTH SPACE not Symmetricaly DEVELOPED during the timely process of GROWTH & MATURITY since childhood through ages, lead to numerous health problems.
Not medication, nor any miracles or alternatives will get you out of it. Only a knowledgeable dentist will.
It is NOT about TEETH, CAP's, Crown-Bridges, Implants or BRACES !!!
It is about the DEVELOPED ( or NOT ) existing ENVIRONMENT of the 3 x D Mouth Space structure, influencing the entire Body joint's spaces and balanced (or NOT) Dental Support.
It is WHAT & HOW TEETH, Cap's, Bridges, Implants support (HEALTH or ILLNESS), leading to
- Postural Neuro - Muscular dysbalances (expiriencing as dyscomfort & pain ) and
- HYPOXIA ( low Oxygen flow & saturation ) leading to many breating, Sleep Apnea, Asthma, Cardio-Vascular, Endocryne, metabolic illnesses, etc.
My recent successful completion of the "CERINATE" Smile Design Studio workshop for placement of non-invasive, no shuts, no pain, no cut Lumineers super thin & invisible aesthetic laminates (seen on National TV ) will allow less time for exceptional completion and patient satisfaction.
In simple words the majority problems in a human Body are caused by 2 reasons:
1 - Body's structural disharmony with gravity and loss of joint's space
2 - Body's lower Oxygen saturation levels
The majority of disease could be managed without drugs, using two basic, Holistic approaches through the Mouth :
1 - Increase 3 x Dimensional body Joints Spaces through Posture control and Harmonious Balance with Gravity ( eliminates pain & discomfort )
2 - Increase Oxygen Saturation of Body tissue & cells (freeing Oxygen by removal of amalgam fillings which poison the Body with mercury toxicity, improve physiology, function of all Body systems, heals & prevent Cancer )
Clinical appearance varies with age and depend on specific symptoms of decompensation individual in every case. Terefore it requires on initial evaluation.
The UNITY of our BODY in skeletal anatomy and physiological Function is Fundamental.
To understand the time and wear factor during our BODY'S growing, developing and aging changes is essential.
Your jaw, face, neck, and back all act together as a system. This system is affected by the number of amalgam fillings and amonth of mercury it releases every day poisoning your Body + your existing Dental bite, or the contact between your upper and lower teeth when your mouth closes. How many of you realize: it is not about your teeth only. Your upper teeth represents the Cranium, with the lower teeth together creating sufficient or non sufficient, balanced or not support for your Tongue,breathing, hearing, vision, harmony etc, in the same time influencing the condition of your Vertebral column, Discs, spaces between them, creating your problems which you feel as pain and discomfort.
When you have a healthy bite, your body system is in harmony. But when the occlusion is flawed, such as when teeth are crowded or the jaws are under/overdeveloped, the bite becomes misarranged, amalgam fillings fracture & break and throws your entire body structure systems off balance.
The oral cavity or MOUTH space is a very important controlling and sensitive area of our Body Existence through the Cortex of the Brain, Thalamus, Cerebellum and Pituitary gland. It changes with age and every time when a tooth filling is placed or replaced, a tooth or few are removed, implants or braces are placed or even cosmetic work is done.
It is always better to consider those influences of a changed Mouth dimension, dental bite occlusion, teeth alignment for HARMONY of a Healthier Body, Clear Mind and Better Spirit as WE DO in OUR Holistic Cranio-Mandibular Functional Health & Structure Rehabilitation for amalgam replacement & dental occlusion practice. How ?
* We Create a Holistic healthy & cosmetic makeover of Mouth & Body to Total Wellness * Boost Oxygen for your Body functions by freeing it from Amamlgam's Mercury toxicity & through enlarged 3xD Mouth Space * Balance the Body & Mouth with gravity * Align & Restore Teeth with gravity.
Pieces and bits don't work. You need a comprehensive Treatment plan.
The benefits from our HOLISTIC INTEGRATED approach are:
- improved AIRWAYS and breathing,
- reduced STRESS and muscle FATIQUE,
- increased Oxygen Body saturation,
- improved Endocrine Balance,
- Cardio-Vascular Stability,
- healthy TMJ,
- stability of teeth alignment and their aesthetics in a balanced dental Bite support, coordinated with
- improved Cranial, neuro-muscular function,
- aligned Body Posture, harmony with power of Gravity and Body-Mind-Spirit.
How does one achiev Health & Wellness ?
Understand: a Healthy Adult begins at Childhood !
- Preventively a women preparing to give birth to a child should examine & consider the postural health of her Body and supportive function of her teeth.
- Pacifiers are allowable untill age of 6 month only.
- All or any pacifier is a powerful uncontrollable dental & mouth appliance depressing bone growth & development.
- The timely sequence and symmetry of baby teeth eruption are important signs to how well the child is growing & developing.
- Similar criteria may be applied to the permanent teeth.
- Posture and breathing patterns are important criterias for the future of Health & Wellness
- Remember TMJ dysfunction starts early, at age 5-6
- If you consider orthodontic treatment for a child start early at 5-6, do not delay until age 11-12.
- Never ever remove permanent teeth, especially for orthodontic treatment. (Look for another dentist )
- Avoid extractions of eye & wisdom teeth.
Health is a timely process !!! And you are responsible for whether you like it or not.
If you do not care, who will?
The old saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it" does not work for your health, only for your mind.
Consider the Mouth Space as a Source of either health or illness.
Most illnesses do not just happen, they develop over time.
Critical ages are : 6 months, 4-6 yrs, 8-10 yrs, 12-13 yrs, 20-25 yrs. 35-50 yrs, 60 -75 yrs + Why are most ailments specific for certain ages ???
Unless * a harmonious balance is created between the Body joints, Mouth Space & Gravity;
* Jaw's & Teeth are developed, aligned and restored to Gravity;
* Sufficient flow of Oxygen is created through 3xD Mouth Space & Nasal cavities ,
* All Mercury evaporating amalgam (silver) fillings are changed to biocompatable materials by a safety protocol * a Holistic Healthy Structural makeover to total Wellness is accomplished & maintained.
Wondering what does this mean to you ?
A healthy joyful life, no pain, no discomfort, no sleepless nights, no medications, no self distruction, depression or anxiety.
Imagine your life without antidepressant medication, pain killers, or even steroids & hormones.
A new fulfilling life , a makeover.
How much? What is it worth to you ?
Health is your most precious commodity. Invest in it for the highest return - WELLNESS .
Lack of Structural Body knowledge, leading to skepticism of traditionally minded doctors, dentists and sufferers, is the main barrier to Health & Wellness.
Fear was never the right advisor. Destiny can be controlled. The earlier, the better.
For You, Medically compromised people.
Do not get disappointed. Life is not over! There is help! Just open your mind.
Do NOT assume you know everything there is to know about you or children�s health or problems. Spend some time to discover a new paradigm. Invest in yourself, have a consult and evaluation and then decide.
Better sooner than later.
Never forget about your children. A healthy adult begins at childhood, remember ???.
I start seeing children from 2-3 years old and older to monitor their development and Body relation to gravity, Body space availability and Oxygen body saturation as fuel..
Sincere Best health & wellness wishes and warm regards to you, your family & friends, or any body you wish to be well.
If you are serious as I am about your health call immediately, don�t delay !

Philosophy and Comments
Why H O L I S T I C ?
The MOUTH space is a very important 3-dimentional OXYGEN entry to our Body. It becomes less with age and every time when a filling is placed or replaced, a tooth or a few is removed, on implant or braces are placed and even cosmetic work is done. It is always better to consider those influences when creating HARMONY of a Healthier Body.
A word about holistic dentistry: instead of treating your tooth alone, we initially treat and prepare the entire body by aligning your body with the power of gravity.
Than we develop and balance underdeveloped maxillary(upper jaw) and Mandibular(lower jaw) bones. Only than we create healthy balance with Harmony by finally aligning and cosmetically restoring the teeth to maintain health of the body.
INTEGRATED DENTISTRY ...the best of all worlds...
by coordinating holistic dentistry with facial bone development, balanced bio-mechanic, Chirodontics, osteopathy, nutrition, and mind-body techniques with necessary cranial releases by craniopats and vertebral adjustments by SOT chiropractors.
By approaching dental care from these different angles we can also eliminate your chronic ailments such as head-neck-back pain, muscle fatigues, dizziness, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromialgia, etc.
A HOLISTIC ALTERNATIVE For MEDICALY COMPROMISED CHILDREN & ADULTS........
* no medication * no steroids * no njections
HOW ? By controlling 2 main causes of developing disease :
* loss of Bodys joint space & disbalance with Gravity leading to POSTURAL NERO-MUSCULAR dysfunctional dyscomfort & pain
* less Oxygen flow & saturation on cellular level leading to HYPOXIA
WHERE IS THAT SOURCE ? The INTRA ORAL or Mouth Space is the Source.
WHAT IS THERE TO DO ?
1.REPLACE the source of Mercury Toxicity-Amalgam(silver) filling with biocompatable materials 2. RESTRUCTURE: Increase 3 x Dimensional anatomical structural Space & Balance it;
3. RESTORE FUNCTION positively influancing the entire Body;
4. REVITALIZE PHYSIOLOGY of the Body;
CAN any MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL DO THIS WORK ?
Only a specially trained Crainio-Mandibular Dentist, who unites & coordinates the Body's Scull-Upper Jaw-Neck-Back- Pelvis -Lower Jaw-Mouth and Teeth functions with Body's health conditions, a Cranio -Vertebrae-Mandibular Rehab Dentist.(C-V-M RD)
NEVER HERD ABOUT SUCH a DENTIST ?! It is a rare complicated field. It takes many, many years of gradual studys and training to obtain the appropriate knowledge & experience .
HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM a REGULAR DENTIST ? A C-V-M Rehab Dentists training and knowledge unites your Body in structure, function and physiology not limited to teeth only.
IS the CRANIO-VERTEBRAE-MANDIBULAR REHAB DENTIST work beneficial to the PHYSICIAN's EFFORTS ? Definitely. Both, improving joint spaces & balancing your Body + increasing Oxygen flow will eliminate many health issues and rejuvenate your Body coordinating with your physicians efforts to control your problems.
WHAT AGE SHOULD I START ?
Any age: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 or even 70. Sooner is always better. Every age has specific age related distinctions .
HOW ABOUT my CHILDREN ? A HEALTHY ADULT begins at CHILDHOOD !!!
Best time to start is evaluate from 3-4 years old for Cranio-Vertebrae-Mandibular structural growth and development. Maturing is a timely process of growth & developing ether HEALTH or ILLNESS. But critical ages to intrude in existing problems is before ages 8-9, 11-12 or 14-18 is also good.
BUT I TAKE my CHILDREN REGULARLY to the PEDIATRICIAN ? Most pediatricians don't know about advantages of a Cranio-Vertebrae-Mandibular evaluation & rehabilitation.
HOW ABOUT on ORTHODONTIST ? A Traditional orthodontist is targeting straight teeth only. Not considering overall Body health or TMJ, harming when decide to pull out sound teeth. A Cranio-Vertebrae-Mandibular Rehhab Dentist is controversally targeting & benefiting a healthy Body & creating straight teeth and a gorgeous smile.

- Jaws upper and lower Bone Development (Orthopedics)
- Braces , clear and invisible (Orthodontics)to align teeth

- Teeth-bite-body posture interaction (Chirodontics)
- Dental bite in a Neuro-muscular relation as a bodies healing source for Cranio Sacral lesions
- Dental & Gum 3-D reconstruction Treatment and Balanced Cosmetic esthetic Rehabilitation after amalgam silver filling removal .
STEPS TO SMILES
STEPS TO SMILES from consultation to maintenance Since we care about total Health of our patients, not just their teeth, we make it a goal to guide them through each step from the first evaluation visit to diagnostics and in to each phase of treatment and even maintenance. Our gradual Holistic Cranio-Mandibular systematic evaluation allows me to fully diagnose your problems. The entire management of such complicated cases is done in four major stages:
I - introduction and evaluation
II - diagnostic procedures for a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan
III - phases of comprehensive treatment to achieve Health and Harmony with teeth, bite, TMJ and Body.
IV - stabilization and maintaining the results.
Each stage requires a fulfillment of the above. Yes, it is time consuming and finance dependent. It also requires my time for evaluating results. So cooperation and patience is the key to success.
A Word About your Development
We think of treatment not only as a relieve of present discomforts and pain (immediate target),
but as a complete problem elimination (total CranioMaxillary - Vertebrae - Mandibular Intraoral Integration or simply said Head-Mouth-Teeth-Face-Body recovery and healing) while developing Bones, increasing joint spaces, create balance and harmony of the Body with gravity forces, improving breathing airways, eliminating obstructions, increasing Neuro-muscular physiologic activity function, endocrine function; teeth support, aesthetics and function, , enhancing individual's metabolism and the immune system .
The role of the M o u t h in achieving Total Body W e l l n e s s.
It is always a funny experience to witness the reaction of people when I tell them about my work as a dentist benefiting entire Body Health & Wellness.
Why ?
Because the historical power of the habitual mentality of a sufferer is shocking.
To some of them A Dentist is " supposed to " clean teeth, place fillings, crowns , bridges and finally implants.
But a Dentist to cure breathing problems ? or migraines, or finally back & neck problems?
How is that possible?
Never heard about it. Is there something devious about it ?!
NO, it is NOT. Just most of professionals are trained and concentrating to correct symptoms and complaints not considering them as a timely process of changes & MATURITY.
Therefore, not many consider the cause in the ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE of the Intra-Oral Cavity space (Mouth), which is the source either for Health or Sickness!?
How is the mouth connected with all of it ? Anatomically (Structurally), Functionally (healthy Balancing vs dyscomfort & pain), Physiologically (experiencing Wellness or Illness).
Like a house or apartment does not start with the wallpaper or quality of paint, it starts with the structural beams.
Why didn't anyone tell you about this before ?
I don't know. But what I know is that anatomy as a science has exist for over 300 years at least. And it was rewritten many , many times without doubting or changing it.
No, I don't take out teeth, even with neglected root canals(I retreat and save every root as it is necessary as long as it is not inflamed) Why? Because the fascia covering every root and your entire Body in & out connects the whole Body as one . No implant can replace that Proprioceptive connection.
No, I don't take x-rays at first visit, but I take a bunch of photographs. After tracing them and evaluating, they will tell me a lot about the breathing, Bodys posture alignment in balance or disharmony, compensation v/s decompensations, breathing pattern, teeth alignment, occlusion interferences, etc
No, I dont rush to change fillings good or bad, silver or white. But I check the occlusion interferences, trauma and support before replacing the Amalgam (silver) fillings .
No, I don't start with gum surgery either, but I take impressions and bite registrations to study the jaw's arch development, relation, teeth alignment, teeth & bite condition, occlusion guidance and Cranio-Mandibular 3-dimentional space, etc.
No, I don't start orthodontic treatment by taking out good , healthy teeth with an explanation and excuse "...there is not enough space in the arch ?! Because every tooth is very precious for the total Wellness in Cranio-Mandibular & dento-alveolar support, physiological function of breathing, hearing , vision and finally, facial aesthetics and balance.
No, I don't take out wisdom teeth. And don't recommend it to my patients. Why ? Because they are completing the total of 32 teeth ( joints in periodontal spaces) to fulfill support of the vertebral column through all 32 vertebral joints in inter-vertebral spaces. So, unless you consciously would like to become a cripple, no wisdom tooth has to be taken out !!! Otherwise your life will become a misery.
Neither do I start with removing old and dysfunctional crowns and bridges. Why not ? Because I don't want to repeat the previous mistakes, which were done when the previous dentist was placing these crowns & bridges benefiting the destruction of the entire Body immunity and compensation. (but neither the dentist , nor the patient knew about it, so who could be blamed for it ?! )
So, what do I do?
RESTRUCTURE Mouth Space dimensions & Balance, Balance, Balance;
RESTORE Body function,
REJUVENATE Body physiology.
Only after achieving Health and Wellness I encourage to precede with the usual necessary treatment plans restorative and especially cosmetic.
Where can I be found ?
