In His Own WordsOCB is the acronym for Occlusal Cranial Balancing Technique. The OCB concept is based on the architectural principle of a level foundation. The principles of Occlusal Cranial Balancing are a monumental discovery and if applied will enhance total body function. The Occlusal Cranial Balancing Technique is based on two principal paradigms. The first focuses on the accepted orthodontic model that the maxillae, represents the anterior two-thirds of the cranial base and functions as the foundation of the human skull. The second focuses on the occlusion as being the self-correcting mechanism for re-balancing the cranial bones. The integration of these two paradigms is profound. Imbalances in either the maxillae and/or occlusal alignment has the potential for causing structural instability of the entire spine and pelvic complex, muscles, ligaments and fascial systems and functional imbalance of the central and autonomic nervous systems. The effect of a distorted maxillae coupled with a malocclusion provides answers to many of the age-old questions regarding the source of chronic pain and ill health. The testimonial above (video) was unsolicited from Mark Blatstein, a patient of Dr. Smith's. The resolution of Mark's neck pain occurred within several days after "shims" were placed on three teeth. In six weeks his lower back pain reduced by 75%. Mark has been pain free of neck symptoms since 1998. The original accident occurred in 1984, fourteen years before the patient was treated. This case study reconfirms the concept that most people are walking "time bombs." That is, they have structural imbalances which are stabilized by healthy muscles, ligaments and fascia. However, once the "band aides" becomes injured the muscles and supporting soft tissues can no longer stabilize the dental/spinal imbalances. Until dental structural stability is restored the soft tissues cannot heal and the patient lingers in pain.
