DBU is a TMJ practice first. That changes how everything else is approached - alignment, restorations and imaging are all decisions about how your jaw closes, not only how your teeth look.
“I want to know if I have TMJ Dysfunction”
A 15-minute structured diagnostic that tells you whether your jaw joint is the cause. For ages 12 and up.
This is the starting point for every TMJ patient at DBU. Rather than treating one symptom at a time, the screening assesses the joint, the bite and the muscle pattern together, so the answer you leave with is about the cause and not the latest flare-up.
“I want the pain to stop coming back”
The non-surgical program Dr. Uy spent ten years curating, built around your own bite and symptom pattern.
Personalised rather than protocol-driven. The program addresses the joint mechanics, the muscle overload and the habits that keep re-loading it, which is why it targets recurrence rather than momentary relief.
“I need imaging of my jaw and teeth”
On-site digital imaging, so diagnosis does not depend on sending you elsewhere.
Imaging is done in-clinic during your visit. Seeing the structure of the joint and the surrounding bone is often what finally explains a symptom that has been investigated for years.
“My jaw clicks, or I grind my teeth”
Treatment for bruxism and joint noise - the two signs most often dismissed as harmless.
Clenching is the top and bottom teeth pressing together; when that pressing moves side-to-side or front-to-back it becomes grinding, medically known as dental bruxism. Left alone it wears enamel, overloads the joint and drives the headaches patients arrive with.
“My teeth are misaligned”
Invisalign and alignment treatment from a Certified ASEAN Invisalign Provider.
Alignment at DBU is planned with the bite in mind, not only the look of the smile. How your teeth meet is what the jaw joint has to work around every time you close.
“I need a tooth replaced”
Restoring missing teeth so the bite loads evenly again.
A missing tooth changes where the force goes when you chew. Replacing it is a bite decision as much as a cosmetic one, which is why it belongs in a practice that reads the whole jaw.
Most patients do not arrive knowing. That is what the screening is for - it establishes what is happening before anyone recommends treatment. If you would rather ask a question first, message the clinic and someone from the team will answer.
The TMJ Health Screening is a 15 minutes diagnostic that tells you whether the joint is the cause. Php 3,800.00, ages 12 and up.
