Jeremie's DTR PROFILE: BBPV (Vertigo) on Jeffrey Harden, DDS - YouTube

Apr 24, 2024 DTR THERAPY treatment provided by Dr. Jeffrey Harden.

Jeremie discusses his journey with chronic dizziness, vertigo, and various associated health issues. After years of consulting numerous specialists (ENTs, neurologists, and cardiologists) and receiving a formal diagnosis of sleep apnea, Jeremie found relief through DTR (Disclusion Time Reduction) THERAPY. Key takeaways from the video include: Patient History: Jeremie experienced intermittent dizzy spells for over a decade, which he initially attributed to various factors like neck strain, anxiety, and ear issues (1:43-5:09). He previously underwent unsuccessful treatments, including the placement of ear tubes (14:40). The Path to DTR: Inspired by the success stories of other patients treated by Dr. Ben Sutter in Eugene, OR ( / @drbensuttereugene ) Jeremie sought out DTR therapy to address potential TMJ (temporomandibular joint) involvement in his symptoms (6:35-8:40). DTR Treatment Impact: After the initial adjustment, Jeremie noted an immediate sensation of release and improved comfort in his bite (0:14-0:53). Over time, he reported a reduction in jaw tension, neck pain, and a decrease in the frequency and intensity of his dizzy spells (17:10-18:15). Ongoing Management: Dr. Harden conducts a screening for DTR THERAPY, which includes measuring muscle activity and joint function to tailor the treatment to Jeremie’s specific jaw movements (15:46-16:09). Jeremie emphasizes that while he still experiences some minor issues, the progress made through these dental adjustments has significantly improved his quality of life (20:30-20:47).

Christian's DTR PROFILE: Idiopathic Myositis on Jeffrey Harden, DDS - YouTube

Feb 24, 2025 DTR THERAPY treatment provided by Dr. Jeffrey Harden

Christian spent seven years suffering from chronic, 24/7 jaw clenching and related TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder) symptoms, sharing his experience with DTR (Disclusion Time Reduction) THERAPY. Christian's DTR PROFILE: The Trigger (2017): Christian describes his symptoms beginning after falling asleep in an awkward position on a flight, waking up unable to open his mouth to eat (1:16-1:43). Chronic Struggle: Since that incident, he dealt with persistent muscle tension, facial asymmetry, joint noises, and a constant feeling that his jaw was "out of sync" (1:45-2:07). Searching for Answers: Christian found DTR videos online and eventually located Dr. Jeffrey Harden through a professional directory (https://www.digitalocclusionseminars...., seeking a data-driven approach to his issues (3:40, 5:06-5:20). DTR THERAPY Overview Precision Adjustments: Dr. Harden explains that the protocol involves making microscopic adjustments to the biting surfaces of the teeth to alleviate interferences that trigger muscle recruitment and tension (6:59-7:25). The Process: The treatment uses Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA) to listen to joint sounds and EMG (Electromyography) to measure and synchronize muscle activity, ensuring the bite is balanced (7:34-8:18). Expectations: Dr. Harden emphasizes that DTR THEAPY is a process during which each bite adjustment requires time afterward to allow for muscle rebalancing. Head and neck muscles are interconnected, so relieving tension in one area may cause others to adjust, which can occasionally make symptoms feel different or shift before fully resolving (8:21-10:10). Outcomes Immediate Relief: Following his first session, Christian reported an "instant release" of tension, describing the sensation as finally feeling something other than constant tightness (0:01-0:40, 11:36-12:00). Recovery: He experienced no adverse side effects, reported sleeping significantly better, and expressed that the data-driven, methodical approach was a "life-changing" investment for his health (11:43-13:31).

Guillermo's DTR PROFILE: Nystagmus and Tinnitus on Jeffrey Harden, DDS - YouTube

Sep 17, 2025 DTR THERAPY treatment provided by Dr. Jeffrey Harden

Guillermo shares his 10-year journey with debilitating symptoms—including idiopathic nystagmus, tinnitus, dizzy spells, and neck/jaw pain—and his significant improvement via DTR (Disclusion Time Reduction) THERAPY. Key Takeaways from Guillermo's DTR PROFILE: The Struggles: Since 2016, Guillermo experienced severe eye strain, a sensation of walking on a trampoline, and persistent left-side facial soreness. He was officially diagnosed with Meniere's disease but found only temporary, partial relief through regular Botox injections and nightguards (1:06-1:58, 12:16-13:42). The Turning Point: Searching for a root cause beyond stress or idiopathic labels, Guillermo discovered how malocclusion (bite imbalance) can create muscle tension that affects the trigeminal nerve, potentially triggering ear and eye symptoms (17:04-21:56). The DTR Process: Dr. Harden explains that DTR THERAPY uses data from T-SCAN sensors and EMG leads to identify and correct specific bite contacts that provoke muscle hypertonia. Unlike his previous treatments, this approach is non-invasive and aims to permanently balance the bite to allow the muscles to relax naturally (24:41-26:29). Significant Improvement: After three months of treatment, Guillermo reports a significant reduction in symptoms. He no longer requires Botox or daily nightguards, his balance has stabilized, his eye strain is gone, and he has regained the ability to chew comfortably (0:00-2:07, 34:25-37:21, 43:47-44:58). Guillermo emphasizes that while he remains a scientific skeptic, the data-driven nature of the treatment provided him with objective proof that his bite was indeed the root cause of his suffering, offering hope to others who feel lost in a cycle of idiopathic diagnoses.

Leo's DTR PROFILE: Meniere's Disease on Jeffrey Harden, DDS - YouTube

Apr 9, 2026 DTR THERAPY treatment provided by Dr. Jeffrey Harden

Leo found DTR THERAPY when he found Dr. Sutter's video titled: "You don't have to live with Meniere's Disease" ( / @drbensuttereugene ), while searching online for real solutions to address the debilitating drop attacks that were becoming more frequent and affecting his daily life. Key takeaways from the discussion: The Debilitating Nature of Drop Attacks: Leo describes the severity of his Meniere's symptoms, which began with occasional vertigo but escalated to frequent, life-altering drop attacks that made daily activities like driving dangerous (0:33 - 7:42). The Connection to Jaw Tension: Leo discovered that by placing a floss pick or toothpick between his back molars on the left side, he could achieve significant, immediate relief from his symptoms (0:24 - 1:07, 8:02 - 8:38). Dr. Harden explains that this confirms a connection between malocclusion (misalignment of the bite) and imbalanced chronic muscle tension, which can impact the autonomic nervous system and trigger symptoms (32:35 - 34:04). DTR THERAPY as a Conservative Solution: Dr. Harden explains that DTR THERAPY is a conservative, non-invasive process. It involves measuring the bite using T-SCAN and precisely adjusting the enamel (microns at a time) to allow muscle tone to relax for improved balance during mandibular range of motion (26:21 - 27:03, 56:06 - 57:24). The Process of Recovery: Both patient and doctor emphasize that this is a multi-month process, not a quick fix. Leo notes that while he felt immediate improvement, he experienced a recovery period where his body needed to adjust to the new bite configuration (28:04 - 29:03, 54:05 - 54:16). Beyond TMD: The discussion highlights that while DTR is essential for severe TMD and Meniere's cases, it also offers value for routine dentistry by addressing underlying hypertonia (chronic muscle tension) (37:44 - 38:08, 59:54 - 1:00:11).

Suzanne's DTR PROFILE: Meniere's Disease on Jeffrey Harden, DDS - YouTube

May 2026 DTR THERAPY treatment provided by Dr. Jeffrey Harden

This video features a consultation with Suzanne, a patient diagnosed with Meniere's disease, as she discusses her treatment journey and experiences with Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR) therapy provided by Dr. Jeffrey Harden.

Key Highlights of Suzanne's Journey:

Diagnosis and Initial Struggles: Suzanne was diagnosed with Meniere's disease in late 2019 (1:34). Following dental work involving six crowns in 2022-2023, she noticed a significant worsening of her symptoms (2:26-2:55), including frequent, intense vertigo episodes she refers to as "freight trains" (3:15, 23:46).
The Impact of DTR Therapy: Since beginning DTR therapy—a bite calibration process designed to relax jaw muscles and reduce nerve stimulation in the ear (12:49)—Suzanne reports significant improvements (23:02).
- She has not experienced a "freight train" (drop attack) since her first DTR session (23:54, 33:57).
- While she still occasionally feels minor "sways" or prodromal sweating, these symptoms have been shorter in duration and less severe, not requiring medication (25:15-25:40).
Holistic Approach: Suzanne emphasizes that her recovery involves a multi-pronged approach, including:
- Upper cervical chiropractic care for neck tension (0:07, 40:16).
- Vestibular rehabilitation exercises (5:53, 26:46).
- Management of allergies and sinus pressure (8:28, 43:54).
Current Status: As of this latest visit (23:00), Suzanne is no longer hyper-vigilant about potential vertigo triggers (45:18). Dr. Harden notes that the primary goal remains fine-tuning the bite to eliminate the remaining prodromal symptoms (34:59, 44:48).

Note: Suzanne continues to maintain a "safety kit" with a cane, pillow, and supplies, though she uses it primarily for psychological reassurance as she recovers (36:20-37:12).
