Dr. Curtis Westersund

Dr. Curtis Westersund has dedicated his career to solving one of dentistry’s most misunderstood and under-treated challenges: TMJ and TMD disorders. With decades of experience in clinical practice, he has seen how these conditions affect not just the jaw, but the entire body, from posture and breathing to chronic pain and overall wellness.

Dr. Westersund is a biomechanical TMD dentist who treats the body from teeth to toes. His approach focuses on breathing, posture, and the full-body connections that influence jaw health. He believes in a multi-disciplinary, collaborative approach, making his experience and perspective truly unique.

Through Digital TMJ, Dr. Westersund shares his proven methods, research-backed knowledge, and practical tools to help dentists feel confident diagnosing, treating, and managing TMJ and TMD in their practices. He also provides education for patients, helping them understand their condition and take an active role in their care.
