Neuromuscular Dentistry/Jaw Re-positioning - Cosmetic Dentistry

Neuromuscular dentistry is specifically designed to treat patients with jaw positioning disorders, which are commonly a result of teeth, facial muscles, and/or jaw misalignment. Neuromuscular dentistry can help alleviate the symptoms of TMJ and TMD, two common but often misdiagnosed disorders.

According to the TMJ association, over 10 million Americans suffer from the condition, commonly referred to as lockjaw or jaw popping. The symptoms of this disorder can be very inconvenient and uncomfortable, and include chronic pain in the jaw, teeth, face, head, neck, shoulders or back, snoring, grinding of teeth and frequent ear infections. Additionally, some neuromuscular dentists have reported that some patients suffer from numbness and tingling in the arms and depressive episodes. Neuromuscular dentists are specially trained to treat your TMD/TMJ symptoms. This is accomplished by realigning and retraining the muscles in your jaw so that your pain and symptoms disappear.
