K7x Occlusal Evaluation & Bite Registration Technical Training

Are You a New K7 Owner, Looking for Training?

This program was designed for you — and your team.

OC’s K7 Training is built for the brand-new K7 owner and every team member who will touch the system. We teach simple, step-by-step instruction from a clinical perspective — from the ground up — so your team can do it right alongside you. You will be introduced to all the diagnostic scans: how to record them, what keys to push, what to say to your patient, and what to do to get world-class data on your screens. Then we help you interpret those recordings — bringing new meaning to your patient diagnostics and your practice.

Never connected your K7? Or familiar with it, but need the training to get it implemented into a busy dental practice? We will show you how to do exactly that.

Learn from the team that developed and pioneered the original K7 training program for dentists, here in Las Vegas — training dentists and their teams since 2001.

• When you capture a Scan 4/5 bite, are you confident it represents a truly optimized physiologic position — or are you accepting the first repeatable result and calling it good enough?
• Do you know the clinical difference between a Classic Scan 4/5 bite and an Optimized Bite — and why that difference matters to every restorative, TMD and orthodontic case you treat?
• Can you identify correct duotrode placement with confidence — and do you know what faulty placement does to the reliability of your EMG data?
• When your TENS session is complete, do you know how to verify that true physiologic muscle relaxation has been achieved — or are you trusting the timer?
• Do you know what the frontal jaw tracking tracing is telling you — and why ignoring it is one of the most common errors in neuromuscular bite registration?
• Is your team equipped to support your K7 protocols with confidence — or are they operating the equipment without truly understanding what they are doing and why?

If any of these give you pause, you are not alone — and OC’s K7 Live Training was built for exactly this gap.

• Dentists who own a K7 or K7x system with no prior K7 or NM training background — this course is the ideal and correct starting point for your K7 journey
• Dentists who purchased a new, used or refurbished K7 unit seeking authoritative clinical training on using it correctly and confidently
• K7 owners who want live hands-on clinical training beyond what standard equipment training provided
• Clinicians who completed standard NM or K7 training and sense that something important was left unaddressed
• OC Masterclass graduates at Levels 1–4 who want to deepen their hands-on K7 implementation skills
• Teams seeking to integrate GNM protocols into daily practice with confidence and consistency
• Any K7 owner ready to move beyond classical NM into the next level of clinical mastery

Standard K7 training — when it is provided at all — teaches you how to operate the equipment: place the sensors, run the software, collect the scans, capture a Classic Scan 4/5 bite using the traditional Jankelson protocol. That training is a starting point. It is not a clinical education. Here is what it does not teach you:

• How to verify that your TENS session has achieved true physiologic muscle relaxation — not just reduced EMG numbers
• How to capture an Optimized Bite using CMS and TENS together in a sequenced, reproducible protocol that goes beyond the classic method
• How to identify correct versus faulty scan data — and what to do when the data is not telling a clean story
• How to interpret the frontal jaw tracking tracing and its clinical significance to your bite registration
• How to correlate your scan findings with your patient’s musculoskeletal signs and symptoms
• How to think with the K7 — not just operate it

Equipment trainers know the software and the hardware. What Dr. Chan is — and what makes this training different — is a wet-fingered clinician who has used the K7 on real patients with real problems for over 37 years, and developed the protocols that turn scan data into clinical decisions.

In most practices the K7 becomes a documentation tool — a way to collect records and justify decisions already made by other means. In OC-trained hands it becomes something entirely different: a diagnostic and treatment guidance system that objectively measures, verifies and confirms the physiologic bite registration in three dimensions — vertical, anteroposterior and frontal.

That transformation begins with the most important skill in all of K7 clinical application: the Optimized Scan 4/5 Bite Registration — Dr. Chan’s protocol for finding, verifying and recording a truly physiologic bite using CMS and TENS together in a sequenced, reproducible methodology that no other training program in the world teaches.

The bite is either right or it is not. OC teaches you how to know the difference — and how to achieve it every time.

Participants are encouraged to bring crown-and-bridge quality model casts of their own mouth for bite registration exercises. This session allows clinicians to experience Dr. Chan’s Optimized Bite protocol firsthand and refine their technique under direct personal guidance.

How confident are you in your K7 bite? After this training, you will know. No more uncertainty at the bite registration appointment. No more accepting good enough when optimal is achievable. Just clear, objective, physiologically-grounded bite registration — performed with the confidence of a clinician who truly understands what the K7 is telling them.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain the foundational principles of GNM Dentistry and the rationale for physiologic occlusion and objective instrumentation in comprehensive treatment planning
• Accurately record and interpret EMG, CMS and ESG diagnostic data using the K7x system
• Perform precise duotrode placement for reliable diagnostic EMG recordings of both A group and B group muscles
• Apply proper myotrode placement for effective therapeutic use of Dental TENS
• Interpret basic scan data clinically — habitual rest, post-TENS, clench EMGs and jaw tracking cycles
• Record and identify a Classic Scan 4/5 Bite and explain its diagnostic role and limitations
• Record and identify an Optimized Bite using Dr. Chan’s sequenced CMS and TENS protocol with precision and reproducibility
• Differentiate Classic from Optimized bite registration and explain the clinical implications of trajectory, vertical dimension and frontal tracking
• Correlate K7 scan findings with musculoskeletal signs and symptoms for physiologically-grounded treatment planning
• Integrate GNM protocols into team workflows for consistent scan quality and auxiliary confidence
• Implement practice management strategies that position the K7x system as a productive clinical and financial asset

Clayton A. Chan, D.D.S. — Founder and Director, Occlusion Connections — The Center for Gneuromuscular Dentistry and Orthopedic Advancement.

Dr. Chan is the originator of GNM — Gneuromuscular Dentistry — and the developer of the Optimized Bite protocol that forms the clinical foundation of OC’s entire Masterclass curriculum. With over 37 years of hands-on clinical experience using the K7 and Dental TENS with real patients and real problems, he teaches from a depth of clinical knowledge that no software trainer or equipment specialist can match — the most advanced and complete live K7 training, exclusively available in Las Vegas, Nevada.
