Liliia Zhernova

Liliia Zhernova leads TMJ-centered orthodontic care at the clinic, combining functional diagnostics with aesthetic and bite reconstruction. As Medical Director, Orthodontist-gnathologist, and Therapist, she is also the founder of DentalDate and is described as a TMJ Expert. Her work focuses on balancing aesthetics and functionality through occlusion analysis and full-mouth rehabilitation. The clinic’s TMJ and gnathology framework supports this with in-house diagnostics and treatment planning. Among her pediatric orthodontic cases, treatment has been started at age 6, with parallel consultation involving an ENT doctor. One documented pathway includes normalization of upper jaw width with HAAS, followed by onlays to correct the position of the lower jaw and bite height. For TMJ dysfunction, she uses a structured three-stage approach that includes diagnosis, splint therapy, and follow-up MRI control to confirm functional improvements.
