15 Years of Trigeminal Neuralgia Pain Gone in 15 min with DTR

[@karilynch4466]

How do people afford this. I’m on disability from this horrible pain since 1998 and a failed MVD in 2001. I just want to end it all…

Hi, Dr. Ben Sutter. I really appreciate your content; it gives me hope for my own TMD issues that I've been dealing with for nearly 10 years. Does DTR work when someone is missing a single tooth? I'm currently wearing braces to correct a deep overbite, and I'm missing tooth #21 (34 in international notation), leaving only a gap where the tooth used to be. Would DTR still be possible after completing orthodontic treatment with one missing tooth? Do you suggest I get the tooth implanted before starting DTR, or can I proceed with DTR without the implant? I've been in pain for almost a decade, and I really want to end this suffering. If I could have DTR done without needing an implant, that would save me a lot of time and stress.

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

yes, DTR is still highly effective with 1 tooth missing

[@amirtak9886]

@DrBenSutterEugene thank you Dr Sutter! 🙏

​@DrBenSutterEugene my constant neuropathic pain has been from lots of dental work over the past 2.5 years. I have 3 dental implants , and I have 4 teeth missing on the right side. Tooth extractions have made this worse and bilateral. I do have an overbite too. If I get partial dentures to fill in the gaps, will I be possibly eligible for DTR therapy?

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

@@the_city_gent2856 it is possible. Without completing an exam it is challenging to offer any real advice. I do offer phone consults if interested to dive into your specifics. We would have you submit photos of your bite so we could have some representation of how your teeth come together

[@SarahLabbett]

I have t.mj and have had nerve sensations. You said I wasn't suitable for dtr because I would need braces first. I'm worried braces will make my tmj worse.

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

Sounds like your orthodontist/dentist is having good result from a different post. Have symptoms diminished then?

[@SarahLabbett]

@DrBenSutterEugene hi im not in treatment. I emailed your good self with a 3d scan. You said i would need braces first. I spoke with a dentist in London who does dtr. He said i probably don't need braces first. So im a little confused.

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

@@SarahLabbett the tie breaker goes to the dentist that saw you and did an exam, not the doc that saw pictures! If he feels confident then proceed.

[@SarahLabbett]

@DrBenSutterEugene ha ha i haven't actually seen him in person yet. I wish I lived near you.

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

@@SarahLabbett no worries, and I get that a lot!

[@reclaimingamericaandthepro2770]

So that I am clear..., the DTR is effective for TMJ but not for atypical trigeminal neuralgia, correct?

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

you are 100% correct, but the point is most of the people that have the MRI DONA ARE MISDIAGNOSED!!! I have other videos with people that have had multiple MVDs and Gamma knife that didn't work. The confusing part is poor patients go in looking for help, they get the diagnosis of whatever and don't dig any further. TMJ is a great chameleon and can look like many different things. I would rule this out before signing up for any kind of brain surgery. I hope that helps

[@SarahLabbett]

So dtr cant treat a typical tn?​@DrBenSutterEugene

[@zaynalzarqany6206]

How much will it cost to come from Michigan and where are you located

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

@zaynalzarqany6206 first thing is to do a phone consult with before booking travel, ect. Call the office tomorrow 541-683-7500. I am in Eugene, OR.

Can you work with wisdom teeth that are grown in too ? I bite on them only and most left side. I have so many symptoms going on it’s ruining my life. Just had a baby 8 months ago and chasing structural symptoms and now I know it’s my jaw and bite. 😢😢😢

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

Wisdom teeth make DTR way more difficult than it has to be. As a rule lower 3rd molars need to be out at a minimum. Generally, I do not treat patients with this therapy that have wisdom teeth. Of course these are generalities and it is impossible to comment on your specific case without a consult/exam.

[@tashamcmahon251]

@ Thankyou for your reply! One more question: is it more beneficial to have my wisdom teeth taken out to maybe balance out my bite ? I’m scared to have them removed and affect anything else in my brain. Idk how important wisdom teeth are

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

@@tashamcmahon251 Wisdom teeth are not critical. but hard for me to answer that in your case without seeing you

[@tashamcmahon251]

@ Thankyou. I love your videos. It’s helping me so much in this hell I’m in

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

@@tashamcmahon251 you are welcome, its great to give people hope. The purpose was people can be their own advocate and not have to stay on meds or have brain surgery as their only choices.

[@rainbow20112011]

Is your work similar to "neuromuscular dentistry"?

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

DTR does not use a TENS, nor does it alter jaw position. It does reduce overactive muscle activity for sure. data very clear om that

[@rainbow20112011]

@@DrBenSutterEugene So, do you believe they are equally effective?

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

@@rainbow20112011 Thats a great question. They can be but from patient to patient symptoms and factors can be so customized. I would say broad strokes yes. I have had probably 15-20 people where DTR was not effective so I built a NM Orthotic, which didn't work either, which means the patient had something else going on. 3 of those I referred to Chiropractic and they improved even more. So sometimes conditions are so complex "it takes a village" to help people. All made more complex by the fact we cant see pain. The bottom line is, if the bite is off should it be corrected, regardless of symptoms, because by not correcting it, you will need more restorative or periodontal dentistry to maintain a faulty occlusion.

[@rainbow20112011]

@@DrBenSutterEugene Gotcha. Is your work similar to another dentist named "Nick Yiannios" from Arkansas?

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

@@rainbow20112011 We were both trained by Dr Robert Kerstein, who is the developer of DTR

[@Iamranasameer]

Please look into cases where MRI showed neurovascular compression and then dtr helps then it would be great success

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

This has already been done and published some of these results

[@Iamranasameer]

@@DrBenSutterEugene can you share a video where a person have compression on MRI and they did not opted for mvd and dtr helped it please as I did not get it

[@DrBenSutterEugene]

@@Iamranasameer there are several videos on here. here is one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX23g6eViLSZZrMsi=UBWcUnmhjT9S7lLZ

ما معنى dtr ؟

[@Iamranasameer]

@@DrBenSutterEugene Thanks , I will look into it and it would be helpful for people because I have seen your videos where people who opted mvd for relief from pain but in that case like we think that there compression got relieved through mvd if that was the cause but in this video as compression is now there too and dtr helped so it means etiology of pain is different clearly
