Melbourne, VIC Region
Dr Meetal Shah | Dentist and FJO practitioner
Melbourne, VIC
Dr Meetal Shah (dentist) is passionate about a Holistic approach to dentistry, understanding that the mouth can often be the gateway to a person’s well being. His philosophy is to try to get to the root of the problem as opposed to symptomatic treatment. He provides treatment for children and adults, providing treatment for crowded teeth, narrow jaws, sleep disorder breathing such as sleep apnoea and jaw joint issues with related facial pain (TMJ associated symptoms). His aim is for his patients to function at their best. He works closely with a Holistic chiropractor where necessary to achieve optimum health for his patients because in his experience he has found anyone with long term jaw joint issues or bad bite generally has other concerns that need addressing.

Global Learning Process
Orthodontics and braces treatment options have come a long way here in Australia and New Zealand. We are fortunate to have access to some of the most advanced treatments and dentists and orthodontists practicing them. In our discussions of Orthodontic Braces here, its worth mentioning how lucky we are to call this wonderful place home. In addition, have access to good quality healthcare and financing options like those offered by Mediplan and GE Money.
Dentists are able to access excellent postgraduate courses, such as those run by Dr Skip Truitt (www.cfoo.com), a lecturing practitioner from USA, and learn this form of orthodontics, known as Funtional Jaw Orthopaedics. Due to the clear benefits of FJO dentistry, more and more orthodontists and dentists are changing the way they practice, both in Australia and worldwide.
International Practitioners
Other international FJO practitioners include Dr John Mew from England, you can see his You Tube video by searching “John Mew Dispatches.” Others include Dr Steven Olmos (www.tmjtherapycentre.com) – his courses are excellent for TMJ treatments.
