Dr Michel Clauzade obtained his degree in dental surgery in 1974, continued to study to later obtain the title of Dr of Science in Odontology in 1979. Assistant at the Medical University of dental surgery in Toulouse. "I have always been interested in occlusodontology, odontal occlusions and in particular craino-mandibular dysfunction. As I am very much in touch with pain and sensitive to my patients ailments and their problems, I found myself confronted with the paradox of today's medicine. In this day and age of high technology and electronics, robotics, microsurgery, genetics, "a cure for all" pharmacology ruling the medical world. People are still suffering, abandoned by the medical world, diagnosed with postural deficiencies, migraines, diseased with psycho-somatic illnesses".

These "patients" become life's outcasts, excluded from the work place and social activities. How much of a burden are these patients really to our society?

It has taken us twenty years of study, to evolve with theories such as neuro-muscular to menisco-condylien to a holistic osteopathic concept that we have called Orthoposturodonty. This theory is based on facts concerning posture and dental occlusions.
