Neuromuscular Dentistry - Full Mouth Reconstruction (TMJ)

Many individuals don’t realize that dentistry is not only your teeth. In the dental treatment dentist should consider not only the teeth. Muscles also play an important role in dentistry. It is necessary to evaluate and treat your overall oral health by considering how your muscles, teeth, joints all work together. If all of these factors are not considered, your upper and lower teeth may not fit properly, the position of the jaws will not be in optimal position, muscles will have improper posture and all that can lead to bite problems, muscle pain, headaches, jaw pain, and joint problems (TMJ).

With special techniques and devices (face bow, articulators, lab microscope, etc.) is determined the jaws position and the occlusion (bite relation) is altered so your teeth meet in new position where your muscles and joints are at their best for optimal function and comfort. With restorative procedures is accomplished adjusting of your bite with changing the shape of the teeth.
