Mom, try this quick check at home
You don’t need to be a dentist to notice changes in your child’s development. Take a minute to look for these 5 signs. They don’t necessarily mean something is wrong, but they can tell us what deserves a closer look.
Snoring or mouth breathing
How to check: Watch your child while they sleep. Do they regularly snore or sleep with their mouth open? Do they often breathe through their mouth during the day?
Why we check: These can be signs that we should take a closer look at their airway and development.
Jaw clicking or popping
How to check: Ask your child to slowly open and close their mouth a few times. Listen or ask if they feel a click or pop.
Why we check: Clicking or difficulty opening can be a sign that the jaw joint needs closer assessment.
Crowded teeth
How to check: Ask your child to give you a big smile. Are any teeth overlapping, twisted or coming in without enough room?
Why we check: Crowding can give us clues about the space available as their teeth and jaws develop.
Midlines don’t match
How to check: With their teeth gently together, look at the line between the two upper front teeth and the line between the two lower front teeth. Do they line up?
Why we check: An off-centre midline is one of the bite and jaw-development signs we screen.
Crossbite or open bite
How to check: Ask them to gently bite their teeth together. Do some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth? Or is there a space between the front teeth even when they're biting?
Why we check: These bite patterns are important to notice while your child is still growing.

EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After years of suffering from unbearable pain as a result of my TMJ disorder, I was in search of a solution. I came across Dr. Bis online and after reading her other client testimonials, I felt a sense of hope that I hadn’t in quite sometime. After my first visit to the office, I left feeling so confident that Dr.Bis and her team were going to be the solution I was so desperately searching for. Dr. Bis is nothing short of a miracle worker. She is driven, focused, attentive and a master of her craft. Not only is she extremely passionate about her specialty and helping those who are suffering, she is kind, generous and informative. Coming in on her days off when I was in agony to adjust me, always taking time to explain everything to me in a way that I understand. She quite literally gave me my life back. I am now completely pain free and have nice straight wide teeth which was an unexpected bonus. She has constructed a powerhouse team of incredible women who were always so kind, gentle and accommodating. If you are suffering from the dreadful symptoms of TMJ disorder, this is the practice for you. 10/10 could not recommend Dr.Bis and her team more.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nothing to complain about Dr. Agatha's clinic. Everyone is really nice, she is very competent. She knows what she is talking about and explain everything with details..Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went here for a TMD/TMJ consultation. This was the most helpful consultation I have had with some hopeful recommendations. I have been to many physio, chiro, dentist, and other doctors. She took it seriously and validated my symptoms as well, including dizziness which my doctor was saying is normal. She explained things well and so did Roanna. 5 stars for Roanna too- friendly, knowledgeable and kind. She was patient with me as well which was wonderful for me as I had limited opening ability. Exceptional customer service. I will note, it is pricey but you have to understand there are factors that need to be considered. Tons of free parking space available so no issue there. I was seen in a timely manner as well. Decided to go with them for a treatment. Will update with results after.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am incredibly grateful for the care I received from Dr. Agatha Bis and her amazing team while dealing with my lock jaw. From the moment I walked in, I was met with kindness and professionalism. Dr. Bis was patient and took the time to explain everything, which made me feel much more at ease. Thanks to their support, I am feeling much better now and plan to check back in a year to ensure everything remains on track. The entire team was friendly and supportive, helping me to overcome this challenging issue. I truly appreciate their dedication and expertise. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to take the right step in addressing lock jaw. Thank you for everything!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This review is written because Dr. Bus and her team are amazing. I start with the team always courteous and helpful. The professionalism to patients was excellent. I want to say I was a little apprehensive as I had been having TMJ for a year, dentist and specialist before lots of money and no solution. I found Dr. Bis on my own and went in with blind faith. First visit was knowing my issues and lots of pictures of the mouth to see the issue at hand. Second visit a bit more follow up and develop a mouth piece. Third visit the mouth piece. As it was a long history Dr. Bis said it may work as I had it for so long but I needed hope in her expertise. Wow with the first month I noticed some changes. This was an issue I would never want for anyone. Painful on the Jaw but she was amazing. With the follow up I seen more improvement and had better results. The detail in Dr. Bis expertise to understanding each underlying issue and listening to me was key. I never felt that my voice or issues were not heard. I have faith to anyone who goes here. Key so listen and find a solution. This was the best experience I have had and would recommend the team to anyone. Thank youPosted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. She gave me my life backPosted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't thank Dr. Bis enough! After waking up with limited mouth opening due to jaw displacement, I tried various facial massages from a chiropractor, which helped alleviate some tension on my face, but unfortunately, the pain would return after a couple of days. Eventually, a maxillofacial surgeon recommended surgery, which I was not prepared to proceed with. Luckily, I found Dr. Bis online and decided to schedule an appointment. She suggested an appliance, and my headache and earache disappeared almost instantly! Dr. Bis has been fantastic throughout, and her entire team is warm and friendly, creating such a welcoming environment. Highly recommend her to anyone needing TMJ treatment!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Dr. Bis since January for a challenging TMJ case complicated by other co-morbidities. After having previously seen another jaw specialist there was a notable difference in both the level of care and diagnostic approach she provided. Dr. Bis brings an incredible depth of knowledge, kindness, and genuine commitment to her patients’ well being, qualities that are rare to find. She has invested significant time and effort into understanding my specific needs, considering both my TMJ and other co-morbidities. I appreciate her candor about which treatments she believes will help and which won’t, ensuring no one’s time or money is wasted. Dr. Bis has also been proactive in suggesting other avenues to explore, expanding my treatment options and resources. I’m still in the midst of receiving treatment from her and I feel hopeful about the progress we’re making, I would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with TMJ issues. I also want to recognize Dr.Bis' wonderful team. Laura is always cheerful and kind, whether on the phone or in person. Kera, Roanna and Kelly are all so friendly and skilled at their jobs, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. Their genuine compassion and dedication to patient care are commendable.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough about the level of care Dr Bis has provided. She took the time to detail what was wrong, how to fix the issue, the cost and time involved. I have been under her care for over 2 years and my “ear infections” that were determined to be TMD have now been fixed with “trays”. I have been 2 years without ear pain and would highly recommend Dr. Bis.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When the symptoms first started to appear, a bite and jaw disorder was the furthest thing from my mind. I was experiencing pain and numbness in my left hand, which eventually radiated up to my arm, to my chest and back… At first, my doctor blew it off as workout related … But when the pain increased & persisted, I was prescribed a cocktail of drugs from gabapentin to Lyrica, a handful of painkillers and sleeping pill, just to cope. Nothing would touch the pain, which, within weeks became debilitating… Thats the best way to describe it, I felt like a wet bag of cement on top of the excruciating discomfort radiating throughout my chest, back and arm The doctor finally sent me to a specialist who wanted to do a surgery to open up the spinal column, to give the nerves room, to alleviate the compression. This seemed extreme, so I sought out the care of a chiropractor, which yielded no measurable results. My search for answers finally led me to Dr Bis who I have known for years. She has had amazing success with jaw pain and TMJ patients So while I was waiting for my neck surgery, she suggested “let’s try this”. No guarantees. She always says that, by the way. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, I went through her protocol. And that was a Game Changer: I was noticeably better the first evening, the first evening in months I was able to sleep, without medication, I might add. It’s been almost a year now. I am 98% back to normal life, with no meds and more importantly, no surgery!!!! There are a few steps left in the process, but I’m eternally grateful for how far we’ve come. The whole journey has been life-changing. Dr Bis is truly one of a kind. It’s impossible to imagine what life would be like, having not gone through this treatment.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
