Neuromuscular Dentistry

Experiencing jaw joint and muscle discomfort? A misaligned bite could be the cause. When your upper and lower teeth don’t align properly, your muscles and joints must work harder, leading to discomfort. This condition, known as Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD), occurs when the jaw joint is overworked, causing pain and discomfort in other areas.

Treatment Options

Neuromuscular dentistry examines the interaction between your jaw, muscles, and teeth to identify misalignments. Treatment is then planned to correct your bite and alleviate TMJ/TMD symptoms. Diagnosis may include X-rays, electromyography (EMG) to assess jaw muscle stress, and sonography to detect joint abnormalities.

TENS

(Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation) – Ultra-low-frequency electrodes are placed on the jaw, neck, and shoulders to stimulate and relax the muscles, helping to alleviate muscle pain and spasms.

Tooth Recontouring

Tooth recontouring, or equilibration, helps TMJ issues by adjusting the bite for even teeth contact. This reduces strain on the jaw joints and muscles, easing TMJ discomfort and improving jaw function.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns assist with TMJ issues by correcting damaged or misaligned teeth. This adjustment reduces stress on the jaw joints and muscles, alleviating TMJ discomfort and enhancing overall jaw function.

Mouth Guards

Custom-fitted mouth guards help relieve jaw joint strain and prevent teeth grinding, reducing pain and promoting better sleep.
