Neuromuscular Dentistry/TMJ Therapy

How Neuromuscular Dentistry/TMJ Therapy Relieves Pain

We want you to have a healthy, comfortable, and confident smile. Neuromuscular dentistry or TMJ therapy focuses on correcting underlying issues to create optimal health and function.

Here's a non-dental-related example to help you understand the benefits of neuromuscular/TMJ health. Imagine riding a bike with a comfortable, sturdy seat. Over time, the seat deteriorates. Maybe the original materials were faulty, or perhaps outside factors contributed to the seat's decline. As the seat deteriorates, you adjust your riding posture. However, these adjustments strain your muscles and cause discomfort. Ultimately, you may have to forego bike riding because it's simply too painful.

Now consider if your jaw joints were forced to operate in ways that cause discomfort and prevent optimal function. Some muscles may shrink and others expand, which causes tension and pain. Neuromuscular dentistry/TMJ therapy restores harmony and optimizes jaw, muscle, and nerve function for a strong, healthy smile. You'll look better, feel better, and experience improved quality of life. Click here to find out if you're a candidate for a neuromuscular exam.
