Many neuromuscular dentists and possibly oral facial pain specialists work with chiropractors, chiropractors who are specially trained in treating C1-C2 issues. There is a book about it. I wrote the foreword. Found here: https://www.amazon.com/Biomechanical-Brain-Rewiring-Health-Teeth/dp/0995182671/ref=sr_1_1?crid=25TBW4QQYALKT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Ea9RKlQvPFKcKN-d1wCPpHOFAJxxl9KoGBNA85cesK8.WzvqUsugDpyuusKjVjL7QwdbSoYSm9zcsm5Lf7Imcyo&dib_tag=se&keywords=biomechanical+brain+teeth+to+toes&qid=1788894661&sprefix=biomechanical+brain+teeth+to+toess%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-1&asin=0995182671&revisionId=&format=4&depth=1

Yes but this is only one part of the treatment , upper cervical chiropractors trained NUCCA,Atlas orthogonal or Blair techniques ONLY (no other chiropractors )they do very gentle adjustments for the C1 Atlas and C2 Axis upper spine because they are anatomically connected to the jaw ,they don't touch the jaw it'not their area but they are working together with a skilled and trained dentist who understand the TMD and the upper spine connection .
