Neuromuscular Dentistry - Where the Mouth Meets the Body
Learn about how neuromuscular dentistry can affect the entire body, alleviating pain and headaches.
/Dental PR News/ - EDMONTON, AB, CANADA, November 15, 2006 - Neuromuscular dentistry places your jaw back into its correct alignment so as to relieve the symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder or TMJ (TMD). Dr. Pavlenko, a neuromuscular dentist in Edmonton, Alberta, says, "TMJ is a disorder that the majority of North American suffer from, but have not been diagnosed for."
TMJ/TMD is an illness that affects you when your jaw is structurally imbalanced. The symptoms of TMJ/TMD can cause pain, discomfort, and serious dental problems that can be treated with neuromuscular dentistry. Symptoms of TMJ/TMD include:
· Headaches
· Migraines
· Ringing in the ears
· Locking of the jaw
· Clicking/Popping of the jaw
· Limited jaw movement
· Worn Teeth
· Chipped Teeth
· Cracked Teeth
· Grinding/Clenching your teeth
· Sensitive/Sore Teeth
· Sore jaw muscles
· Pain in the head, neck, and shoulders
· Facial Pain
These symptoms arise when your temporomandibular joint is misaligned, giving you a bad bite and creating excess stress on muscles, joints, teeth, and bones in your face, head, neck, and shoulders. If you are suffering from one or more of these symptoms, a neuromuscular dentist may be able to relieve you of your TMJ/TMD symptoms by placing your jaw into its optimal position, giving you a better bite.
Neuromuscular dentists use state of the art computer technology to observe the movement of the temporomandibular joint when your jaw is being moved and when it is at rest to determine its optimal placement.
In order to treat you and alleviate the symptoms that you are suffering from, your neuromuscular dentist will work with you to design a treatment plan that is specifically designed for your wants and needs. In general, treatments follow three steps.
First, ULF-TENS technology is used to stimulate, massage, and relax the muscles in your jaw in order to rid them of waste and stop the pain and muscle spasms that are associated with TMJ/TMD. Next, your jaw will be stabilized so that the neuromuscular dentist can determine what the best treatment plan will permanently fix your bite. Lastly, your neuromuscular dentist will work with you to design and implement a long-term management process that will correct your bite.
