Welcome to

The Functional Therapy Centre

Dr. Kelly Wells is part of an integrative team of specialists focused on reversing the underlying causes of dysfunction and correcting habits that prevent patients from experiencing health and wellness at their full genetic potential.

The Centre for Integrative Orthodontics and the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Chicago go far beyond the traditional approach, restoring proper function and good health gently and effectively. Conditions that typically respond favorably to our integrative model include OSA/sleep apnea in adults and children, dental crowding, headaches, jaw pain, ear aches and infections, breastfeeding/feeding issues, vertigo/dizziness, neck and back pain, sciatica, plagiocephaly, tongue/lip tie, and more.

Our team of highly qualified doctors and staff are here to make a profound impact on people’s lives. We put decades of proven hands-on experience to work for you as we look at, evaluate, and consider your overall health and well-being.

What is Integrative Treatment?

The way we breathe and use the muscles of the face, cheeks and lips, have an impact on how the jaws, faces and teeth develop. Ultimately, when the face and jaws don’t grow to the ideal size or proportions, the airway doesn’t grow enough for normal function.

If our airway is compromised enough, it has a chronic negative impact on brain function and overall health. The nervous system becomes stuck in fight or flight mode and healing is compromised.
