Neuromuscular Dentistry

TMJ pain is a chronic and often debilitating illness, which affects millions of people. The underlying conditions that cause the above mentioned signs and symptoms are structural, biochemical, and/or emotional.

Any one of these conditions can stimulate hyper activation of the head, neck, jaw and related muscles, and can lead to tension, pain, and spasms. By using the art and science of neuromuscular dentistry we can determine the relaxed position of the muscles that control the head, neck and jaw, and place them into physiological resting position.

By using computerized instrumentation we can derive a diagnosis and individualized treatment plan that most often will lead to improvement and/or elimination of pain.
