Meet the team

Julia Kagan, DDS

General Dentist

 Dr. Kagan received her degree from the University at Buffalo, School of Dental Medicine in 2004. Since then she has been on an adventure practicing dentistry, exploring the fields of TMJ disorder and Sleep Apnea and learning about the body through her own yoga practice. Her curiosity about the body went even so far as to become certified in acupuncture. The past 5 years have been a deep dive into ALF Therapy. She's been lucky to call the field's inventor and leaders her teachers and mentors. Dr. Kagan has a way of connecting the mouth, body and individual that just makes you feel better.

Jessica Tunis

A welcomed new addition to the team, Jessica was wide eyed when she first began working with Dr. Kagan. Although she has been a dental assistant for many years, she knew she'd learn a whole new set of skills in this office.

How We Treat It

ALF Therapy

Sleep Appliances

TMJ Appliances

ALF Therapy uses a deceptively simple oral appliance that interacts with nervous system to create periods of rest, growth and expansion of the jaws.  More on that later.

TMJ Appliances

Sleep Appliances

TMJ Appliances

TMJ appliances used are as low profile as an oral appliance gets with out being an ALF. It is based on the same principles as the ALF and can be thought of as a static ALF. We call it an NLA.

Sleep Appliances

Sleep Appliances

Sleep Appliances

Sleep Apnea Appliances hold the lower jaw forward when worn during sleep. This allows the airway to stay opened and stops the collapse of the airway space.

Team Approach

Self Care Exercises

Sleep Appliances

We use a Team Approach as the ALF Therapy principles are based on integrating principles of osteopathy as well as the reinvigorating oral function. Commonly, body workers and myofunctional therapists are recommended.

Self Care Exercises

Self Care Exercises

Self Care Exercises

Self care exercises are taught and recommended to help you retrain your neuromuscular patterns and manage facial and TMJ tension in between your appointments.  It empowers you!

OraLase/BabyLase
