TMJ & Neuromuscular Dentistry

TMJ & Neuromuscular Dentistry is a specialized dental service designed to address temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and related neuromuscular issues. The TMJ is the hinge-like joint that allows you to speak, chew, and yawn, as it connects your jawbone and skull. When this joint becomes misaligned or dysfunctional, you can experience a variety of painful symptoms, including headaches, jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, and even issues with your bite. Neuromuscular Dentistry focuses on finding the optimal alignment of the jaw and the muscles surrounding it, aiming to restore harmony and alleviate discomfort.

This treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including advanced diagnostic tools like electromyography (EMG) and jaw tracking technology. By analyzing muscle activity, jaw movement, and bite alignment, our skilled dental professionals can identify the root cause of your TMJ issues. Following this assessment, a personalized treatment plan is crafted to address your unique needs. It may involve orthotic devices, dental restorations, or muscle relaxation techniques to bring your jaw into proper alignment. TMJ & Neuromuscular Dentistry is crucial for those suffering from TMJ disorders, as untreated conditions can worsen over time and lead to more severe pain and discomfort. We recommend scheduling regular check-ups and assessments to monitor your progress and ensure lasting relief.
