Everything You Were Taught About the Bite Was Incomplete.

Not wrong. Incomplete. Here is what was missing. GNM does not reject what you were taught. It completes it.

Set the Record Straight

GNM is not a rejection of gnathology. It is its completion. GNM is not against centric relation. It is the first methodology that measures it objectively rather than assuming it.

GNM is not a theory. It is a proven clinical discipline — principles, protocols, and skilled hands working at chairside on every patient. Every visit.

Master Your Occlusion. Transform Your Dentistry

Hear from dentists whose practices and confidence were transformed.

Still have unanswered clinical questions after post-graduate training? That gap has a name. It’s called GNM.

See Our Scientific Evidence & Peer-Reviewed Research →

GNM does not guess CR. GNM measures it. Because your patients deserve a dentist who knows — not one who assumes.

What Your Current Training May Not Have Told You:

Your intraoral scanner captures the bite that exists. GNM finds the physiologic bite that should exist. Those are not the same thing.
Every occlusion course you have taken assumed a starting point. GNM measures it.
If occlusion was ruled out as a TMD factor — ask what measuring instrument was used to rule it out. Subjective examination is not measurement.
Digital analysis of a wrong bite position is still a wrong bite position — rendered in higher resolution.

Occlusion Connections. Precision. Predictability. Stability. Results.

Precision. Insight. Technology. Every bite measured. Every patient understood. Every clinician excels.

The Missing Piece

Occlusion should not be mysterious. The optimized bite is measurable, physiologic, and objectively defined. Are you ready to find it?

Clinicians know that OC teachings make sense—both gnathologically and neuromuscularly.

***This is where fragmented concepts become unified.”* “Where clarity replaces confusion.” *“Where dentists evolve into true physicians of the mouth.***

Dentists come to OC to discover what traditional education never taught.

Understand the critical relationship between muscle health and jaw position.

The answers exist. The science supports them. OC teaches them.

Testimonials — Seeing the Bigger Picture

SEEING THE BIGGER PICTURE

“Having attended level one this weekend really makes me appreciate the sequencing of your curriculum. As has been said many times on the forum, and after originally jumping in at level five because I made some wrong assumptions about what might be presented in the more “
beginner courses ” I truly appreciate the sequence of transitioning from one tooth dentistry to whole mouth dentistry. As one matures as a dentist one continually seeks answers. Mine were all about occlusion. If your information had of been as readily available as its is today through OC, my journey would have been more self satisfying and stress free because your work provides so much more of the bigger picture than any dental school can. I wholeheartedly advise anyone who is early in this
journey to partake in your curriculum. It will make them so much more confident in their daily practices and. The patients really appreciate knowing what is going on in their mouths and bodies. ” No one has ever explained that to me before.” — Marke Pedersen, BSc, D.D.S., Chairman of Pacific Dental Conference, Vancouver/Vernon, B.C. Canada (K7 owner, NM experienced)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND: YOU WON’T REGRET

“I encourage every dentist who has some or no occlusion background should take Occlusion connection courses. I have taken 8 +2 courses with Dr.Clayton Chan and no doubt it has transformed my dental career and allowed me to practice advanced dentistry with high confidence. Honestly speaking, I have used and applied OC or GNM concept taught by Dr. Chan, in everything I do in dentistry from restorative, ortho, TMJ treatment to full mouth rehab with crowns or AOX prosthesis. Highly recommend his courses and I can reassure you won’t regret. I really got hooked and addicted to his teaching at the beginning and it did take me two straight years to complete his 8+2 courses. Thanks Dr. Chan for your unique OC GNM teaching!!!” — Cory N. Nguyen, D.D.S., Dallas, TX (K7 owner, OC Levels 8+2).

Master the Physiology of Dental Occlusion

“If you don’t see the problem, you can’t diagnose it. If you don’t diagnose it, you can’t treat it. Diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment planning—and the key to patient success.”

TREASURES THAT SHOULD BE CHERISHED

“Our chest is full of little treasures that should not only be cherished, but fully appreciated for they are keys to unlocking the mystery of WHY people don’t respond to so many other medical modalities and professional treatments. Understanding WHY canine rise and what happens after the canine is done (or WHY even some people have limited range of motion and can’t move past their canines, WHY condyle/disc relationships cannot be ignored, but must be reduced) – these are critical pieces of the TMJ-NM puzzle. What are the dentists biggest challenges?”

Do we attribute our failures to something other than what we are doing and blaming airway, or psychological issues, or . . . something else?” — Lawrence M. Stanleigh BSc MSc DDS, Calgary, AB (OC Levels 1-8, K7 owner)

MICRO OCCLUSION IS THE HALLMARK OF GNM

“Micro Occlusion is the hallmark of GNM”. Too often this is not worked out in detail in other teachings. The missing “DOT dentistry” isn’t appreciated enough. There is a lack of emphasis to truly allow the teeth to come into contact into a terminal end point without torque and tension. There is so much talk on finding the trajectory which is important but too little on the end point Micro-Occlusion.” — Dr. Jerry Lim, BDS (Singapore), FRACDS (Australia) , (OC Levels 1-7, K7 owner)

“From Guesswork to Precision—Learn Objective, Measured Protocols.”

OC HAS INCREASED MY SUCCESS LEVEL

“As you know, my practice is limited to TMD and Sleep Dentistry. I’m basically a bite doctor. In addition to my local office, I work with a group of prosthodontists. Taking your curriculum has increased the success level of my patient care significantly. My patients, my referring doctors, and the doctors I work with at Ozark Prosthodontics all thank you for what you have allowed me to do for them. It’s made it worth making those trips to Las Vegas. I think you know how much I hate leaving my little farm here in rural Arkansas, so that’s saying a lot.” — Stephen C. Fisher, D.D.S., Clarksville, AR (OC Levels 1-8, Ortho 1-2, K7 owner)

DID WE OBJECTIVELY MEASURE AND ANALYZE?

“Often we seek to get our patients “NORMAL, out of pain and comfortable. We stop at that point in our treatment. Did we objectively measure and analyze what the physiology of our finished treatment? Did we measure clinically the QUALITY OF THE FUNCTION and the QUALITY OF RESTING ABILITY of our CASES to prove we achieved our NM Goals Objectively?” — Brad Hester, D.M.D., Bend, OR (OC Levels 1-8, Ortho 1-2, K7 owner)
