NEUROMUSCULAR DENTISTRY

Neuromuscular dentistry is the art and science of using the relaxed position of the muscles of the head and neck to place the jaw into an optimal physiologic position. Thirty years of research and clinical experience have shown this technique to be effective in treating patients with various levels of head and neck pain. It is also used in finding the optimal jaw position before restorative dentistry and greatly increases the longevity of restorations and natural dentition.

The process involves using a sophisticated computerized calculation to record and interpret tempromandibular joint (TMJ) sounds, masticatory (chewing) muscle activity (EMGS) and the path of movement the jaw follows in function. This information allows us to find the most relaxed physiologic position for the jaw and combined with tomography (specialized jaw joint x-ray) helps determine the best bite for comfort and aesthetics.

WE MAY BE ABLE TO HELP YOU, IF YOU SUFFER FROM:
  • Headaches

  • Unexplained loose teeth

  • Worn, chipping, or cracked teeth

  • Cracking, chipping, or breaking dental restorations

  • Pain or soreness around the jaw joints

  • Pain in teeth that seems to move around

  • Neck, shoulder or back pain

  • Facial pain

  • Clicking or grating sounds in the jaw joints

  • Limited movement or locking jaw

  • Numbness in you fingers and arms

  • Congestion or stuffiness of the ears

Tempromandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) also referred to as Myofascial Pain Dysfunction (MPD) or tempromandibular joint syndrome (TMJ). This is a chronic illness that affects 75 million people at any one time. There are many people who have no pain but still have occlusal disease (misaligned bite). Worn, chipped or broken teeth, broken fillings, changing position or shape of the smile are all indications that can benefit from treatment.

Neuromuscular dentistry seeks to cure TMJ by retraining muscles, tissues, and nerves to properly align the jaw at rest. If the jaw is not in proper position at rest, it must work harder to perform basic functions - such as chewing or speaking - and in turn may repeatedly injure surrounding muscles. We specialize in a variety of treatment options, including neuromuscular dentistry, designed to alleviate and eliminate the symptoms of TMJ.
