Small group. Personal instruction. Dr. Chan teaches every course.
Objectively measured. Physiologically confirmed. Clinically proven.
Most dentists sense it at some point in their career — a gap between what they learned and what they actually need to deliver consistent, predictable results.
“Why doesn’t my dentistry last?”
“How do I deliver esthetic dentistry that also functions?”
“How do I successfully diagnose and treat TMD?”
OC Masterclass Training was built to close that gap — permanently. This is not a weekend seminar. This is a journey — one that clinicians from across the globe have described as the most transformative continuing education of their careers.
Your only decision today is Level 1 & 2. Everything else follows in sequence — each level building purposefully on the last.
A proven, sequenced continuum from foundational understanding through advanced clinical mastery. Each level builds purposefully on the last — creating a complete, integrated framework that no single course or weekend seminar can replicate. Courses are held exclusively in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A.
Levels 1–4B — the threshold of foundational competency · Levels 5–9 — advanced clinical mastery · plus the Ortho track and K7 instrumentation
The complete diagnostic, treatment planning, and orthotic foundation every GNM clinician must own before advancing. Completion of Levels 1–4B represents the foundational clinical competency every GNM-trained dentist should hold.

“World-class clinicians from across the globe — united in pursuit of mastery at OC.”
GNM Dentistry is not a single technique or a piece of technology. It is a triad — an integrated framework built on three essential pillars working together to improve the outcomes of restorative, orthodontic and TMD cases. It is the integration of all three that produces the clinical stability and quality of the success.
The study of jaw movements and occlusal relationships.
The foundation of establishing physiologic homeostasis for muscle and occlusal health in an optimized mandibular positioning.
The measured, data-driven verification that makes diagnosis reproducible and treatment predictable.
No other continuing education program in the world covers the full clinical continuum that OC provides. This is the program that closes every gap. GNM Masterclass Training in occlusion is built around five pillars that set OC apart:
Go beyond classical NM teachings — integrating K7x instrumentation, J5 TENS, and Dr. Chan’s uniquely developed Optimized Bite protocol — the only methodology of its kind in the world.
Master jaw tracking, EMG, and ESG joint vibration analysis — tools that reveal what traditional diagnostic models consistently miss.
Apply GNM principles to restorative, implant, orthodontic, and TMD cases with predictable, stable, and objectively verifiable outcomes.
Learn directly from Dr. Clayton Chan — the originator and developer of GNM — whose 38 years of clinical experience have shaped the global standard for physiologic occlusal education.
Join a worldwide network of GNM trained clinicians — united by the pursuit of clinical mastery and the highest standard of patient care.
“I really got hooked… it took me two straight years to complete his 8+2 courses. Thanks Dr. Chan for your unique OC GNM teaching — in everything I do in dentistry, from restorative, ortho, and TMJ treatment to full mouth rehab.”
— Cory N. Nguyen, D.D.S., Dallas, TX · OC Levels 8+2, K7 owner
“It has increased the success level of my patient care significantly. My patients, my referring doctors, and the doctors I work with all thank you… It’s made it worth making those trips to Las Vegas.”
— Stephen C. Fisher, D.D.S., Clarksville, AR · OC Levels 1–8, Ortho 1–2, K7 owner
Every eye on the data — up-close learning has defined OC from the start.
Dr. Clayton Chan is the originator and developer of Gneuromuscular Dentistry — a pioneering framework that integrates gnathologic and neuromuscular principles into a unified, physiologically grounded system of diagnosis and treatment. He is widely recognized as a foundational pillar in physiologic dentistry — a clinician whose teachings have resolved clinical questions that textbooks and lecture halls left unanswered for decades.
His teaching is not theoretical. It is lived, tested, and refined through more than 38 years of advanced clinical practice — every principle proven at the chair before it is ever taught in the classroom.
Before founding Occlusion Connections, Dr. Chan served as Director of Neuromuscular Dentistry at LVI (2000–2006). He holds Mastership and Fellowship in the International College of Cranio‑Mandibular Orthopedics (ICCMO) and continues to teach the complete OC Masterclass curriculum personally, in small‑group settings, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“Read Dr. Chan’s landmark paper — the intellectual foundation behind everything OC teaches.”
The OC Recognition Awards Program — a merit-based pathway honoring the doctors who complete the journey. Your levels, your casework, and your clinical growth are formally recognized as you advance.
