Proof, not promises

An airway you can actually measure.

Structural proof. Imaged in 3D, measured in cubic centimeters, read by two doctors on the same scan. No named patients, no promises. The number does the talking.

The proof wall

One person. Three measured changes.

When structure changes, it shows in more than one place. The airway opens, the arch widens, the body re-stacks, three measured changes on one de-identified patient.

The airway, in volume

The space available to breathe, measured

Sagittal 3D cone-beam CT. The colored channel is the airway, reconstructed and measured in cubic centimeters.

Before Airway volume reconstructed on 3D CBCT, before, measured at 18.32 cubic centimeters
18.32 cm³ measured volume
After Airway volume reconstructed on 3D CBCT, after, measured at 28.00 cubic centimeters
28.00 cm³ measured volume

De-identified, education only. Individual anatomy and results vary.

Airway volume increased from 18.32 to 28.00 cubic centimeters, a 53 percent increase.
The arch, in three dimensions

A wider palate to breathe and rest the tongue in

3D intraoral scans of the upper and lower arch. The same arch, redeveloped wider, with more room behind the teeth.

The body, on a grid

A frame that re-stacks once it can breathe

Read against a plumb-line grid wall. As the airway opens, the head and shoulders tend to come back over the spine.

Procedures don’t heal patients. Physiology does.

De-identified imagery from one patient, shown for education. Faces and names withheld. Non-diagnostic, and not a typical, expected, or guaranteed result. Individual anatomy and results vary.

Why we can measure it

The same anatomy, from every angle.

A flat X-ray gives one shadow. A 3D scan lets two doctors read the same structure in volume, cross-section, and context, so proof becomes a number.

In three dimensions

Volume, not a shadow

  • The space available to breathe through
  • Reconstructed in 3D, then measured in cm³
In cross-section

The narrowest point, visible

  • A slice through the same airway
  • Where the tightest points become measurable
In context

Muscle and soft tissue

  • The structures around the airway
  • Jaw and tongue posture, read together
Patient stories

The proof, in their own words.

The second lens

The airway is read alongside what the eyes reveal.

Aligness reads systems, not symptoms. The oxygen the airway carries reaches the smallest vessels, and the eye is one of the few places those vessels are seen directly. The scan and the eye read the same person from two angles.

Clinical cases

What neither specialty sees alone.

Dental and ophthalmologic care under one roof catches what neither specialty sees alone, a pattern our physicians documented where the mouth and the eye read the same body.

Case 01

A graft stable for nearly six years, then refractory rejection

A corneal transplant stable for nearly 6 years began recurrent rejection that was refractory to standard ophthalmic management for about 2 years. A dental exam found lichen planus.

After targeted oral treatment, the graft cleared and vision reached 20/60 within one month, without changes to ophthalmic therapy.
Case 02

Graft failure with rejection, and an untreated mouth

A corneal transplant with graft failure and recurrent rejection for about 3 years. Dental evaluation found active infection and untreated caries.

Within one month of dental treatment, the graft cleared and vision returned to baseline.
Case 03

Progressive edema that tracked a lost crown

A corneal transplant with progressive edema and recurrent rejection that correlated with the loss of a dental crown and oral neglect.

After crown restoration and resolution of oral inflammation, rejection resolved and vision stabilized within one month.
The clinical note

These cases do not establish causation. They show a pattern we observed, so we now treat oral-health evaluation as a standard part of the workup for refractory graft rejection.

Taught to clinicians

The method other doctors travel to learn.

Dr. Pastouk created Glossodontics®, the method that releases the tongue then redevelops the airway, jaw, and face. The same read he and Dr. Skeens use with you.

Who reads your picture

The credentials behind the room.

Two board-credentialed doctors who read your picture themselves, and together. One makes the hidden structure visible. One reads the whole pattern of airway, oxygen, and what the eyes reveal.
