Based upon Dr. Gelb's videos in favour of airway centric dentistry(a valid medical concept) and his statements against extraction orthodontics( a practice that was never proven by ALL relevant medical specialties:ENT, neurology, gastro, orthopedics, pulmonology etc. to NOT be dangerous) , one would expect Dr. Gelb and his university affiliation to have already completed CLINICAL TRIALS to prove the validity of airway centric dentistry, the harm of extraction orthodontics, and natural, FREE ways for toddlers to grow large arches to avoid TMD. INSTEAD, one sees that Dr. Gelb offers only various "approaches" to see what MAY help victims of orthodontics extractions/TMD. During his career, spanning several decades, extraction ortho has continued, and plenty of TMD patients with extractions have sought his "approach"to TMD. IF 30 YEARS AGO- DR. GELB AND THE REST OF AIRWAY CENTRIC DENTISTS HAD ADVOCATED FOR A BAN ON EXTRACTION ORTHO AND ANY UNSTUDIED TREATMENT THAT COULD CAUSE TMD, THEN THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANY EXTRACTION ORTHO AND A NEW GENERATION OF TMD PATIENTS FOR DR. GELB. It's time for patients to take a stance against extraction ortho! and advocate for clinical trials to prove the efficacy of natural, free alternatives that enable toddlers to grow better without TMD! -because dentistry is still NOT taking the strong ethical stance that it should by doing the clinical studies! Until dentistry does the trials that it should have done 100 years ago,, then the public should avoid all unstudied dentistry. It would be most ethical for Those with TMD to organise funds to advocate together for a ban on extractions to spare future generations from harm, instead of wasting funds on TMD- a band-aid treatment that is NOT AS GOOD as avoiding the harm of extractions!

Will Dr. Gelb and his colleagues join the ETHICAL advocacy for a ban on extractions, and PROMOTION OF FREE, NATURAL METHODS with clinical trials for toddlers to grow better, avoiding TMD? People are waiting for dentistry to do the right thing for patients by banning extractions-probably it might take another hundred years and millions more extractions to get there- another million cases of TMD for dentists to "treat"-also without clinical trials to guide treatment! TMD dentists treat without clinical proof-Orthos extract without proof from medical specialties-the TMD dentists condemn the orthos for the same approach that TMD's take with patients. THAT IS IRONIC! BIZARRE to AN EDUCATED MIND!

Scam artist. You pay upfront with the promise of being reimbursed for $$he gets from your insurance carrier. His billing office is “not available “ EVER!!! Still waiting for over $2000. They said insurance never paid them - funny my insurance company sent me a copy of the check he endorsed. STAY AWAY! The nightly appliance causes me to bleed, and every morning I wake up to a bloody mess!!!!

Dr. Gelb makes his secretary spend 10 minutes asking patients lots of unnecessary questions over the phone so that he will be able to investigate you and determine the extent to which he can manipulate and fool you into unnecessary, damaging "treatments". STAY AWAY FROM this fraudster. Do your own TMD treatment safely by doing your own research. There is no scientific proof that anything that Gelb does is safe or effective.

As a cardiologist, I can confirm that patients who wear the sleep apnea and tmj appliances that are fabricated by Dr. Gelb and other TMD dentists,are detrimental to their dental and cardiovascular health. The appliances decrease the flow of saliva around teeth, increasing anaerobic bacterial counts within periodontal pockets,and they block the airway, increasing heart rate.
