Neuromuscular Dentistry

The way that your upper and lower teeth come together is part of the neuromuscular system of teeth, muscles and joints. If your teeth do not fit together properly and are misaligned, the muscles and joints must accommodate; that is, they need to work harder and become stressed in order to bring the jaws and teeth together. A misaligned bite often leads to various painful conditions such as migraines, headaches, clicking and popping jaw joints, dizziness, ringing in the ears, or pain of the head, neck, and face, just to list a few. 

Using a computerized neuromuscular evaluation, we can accurately determine the proper jaw-to-jaw and tooth-to-tooth alignment of your particular facial structure. We also have a full range of biomedical technology designed to help us re-establish healthy relationship of the dental structures. In fact, our expertise in this technology has enabled us to successfully treat patients with TMJ pain, headaches, dizziness, and other problems related to the neuromuscular system of the head, neck, face, and jaws.
