Dr. Rajesh Raveendranathan was born and brought up in the gulf kingdom of Bahrain. He completed his graduation from Rajas Dental College attached to the Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University, Chennai in 1998. He had always evinced a keen interest in orthodontics even in his early years as a general practitioner. This interest led him to ICNOG (International College of Neuromuscular Orthodontics and Gnathology, Italy) whose India chapter in co-ordination with IDRR guided him to the successful completion of its Level One in Calicut, India. ICNOG introduced the concept of TMD (Tempero-mandibular joint disorders) and its relation to orthodontics and kinesiology. He then followed it with his Level Two held in conjunction with IDRR in Dubai. Being the pioneer to have done so in India, he is he currently trains dentists to use the K7, the mandibular tracking device manufactured by Myotronics, USA. He has, since then, attended various international conferences worldwide.
The IAO Conference in April, 2008 at San Antonio, Texas, USA paved the way for catapulting him to the arena of Iatrogenic Headaches, Neck-aches and Migraines which are actually not idiopathic but related to TMD. This relatively new theory changes the occlusion to a more physiological Myocentric Occlusion relieving the condylar pressure from the retrodiscal pad in the TMJ space, thus eliminating the headache/neck-ache. The new relaxed position of the condyle is maintained by different sorts of appliances such as splints, MORA’s and other jigs; or even through occlusal build-ups, crowns and even orthodontic treatment.
The Myotronics conference at Seattle, Washington, USA in June 2010, introduced him to the concept of neuromuscular dentistry in sports wherein a mouth guard (PPMTM) is built according to the person’s myocentric occlusion and is worn during the physical activity, thereby increasing his/her balance, strength and stamina.
He is currently an associate member of the IAO (International Association for Orthodontists). He is also a member of the AACP (American Association of Cranio-Facial Pain) and IFUNA (International Functional Orthodontics Association). He was the Honorary Secretary of the Malappuram Branch of IDA (Indian Dental Association) and has won state and national awards for the same. He is currently the President of the same.
He is currently the only AACP-Tufts certified Dental Sleep Medicine specialist in India after completing his residency programme on “TMJ and Sleep Medicine” at Tufts University, Boston, USA in 2011.
