This hands-on fabrication lab takes dentists beyond theory and into the clinical application of the Pattern Altering Dental Appliance (PADA). Participants will sharpen their skills in prescribing, fabricating, fitting, and adjusting PADA, with a focus on precision, patient comfort, and neurological optimization. Building on The Body and the Bite I and The Body & The Bite Foundations courses, the PADA FAB LAB course emphasizes how a properly designed and adjusted oral appliance supports whole-body integration and neuromuscular balance.

​

Who The PADA FAB LAB Is For

​

This lab is designed for dentists who have completed The Body and the Bite I or The Body & The Bite Foundations Course and are ready to translate foundational knowledge into practical expertise. It is ideal for clinicians seeking confidence and consistency in prescribing, fabricating, fitting, and adjusting PADA, while deepening their understanding of how oral appliance design influences neurological regulation and overall body function.
