Dr. Curtis Westersund practices out of Calgary, Canada, but his expertise and enthusiasm for dentistry have taken him across the globe. His focus lies in treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, sleep apnea, and chronic pain, often delivering insightful lectures in diverse locations near and far.

"Dental malocclusions are often at the heart of many challenging dental issues. Understanding how digital occlusal technology can alleviate the physiological strain caused by malocclusions is crucial to improving patient outcomes. My approach involves examining how a patient's malocclusion leads to problems and then leveraging T-Scan technology to address those issues effectively." – Dr. Curtis Westersund

Dr. Westersund has contributed to the academic community through publications like the Handbook of Research on Computerized Occlusal Analysis Technology Applications in Dental Medicine. He has also been featured in CRANIO®: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice with a piece titled "The Relationship between Craniocervical Orientation and Centre of Force of Occlusion in Adults."
