Neuromuscular dentistry involves looking at the muscles, joints, jaw development, and teeth to help alleviate issues that may be related to your bite. In order to find your optimal bite we take measurements and scans which show us the muscles that are overworking. We then relax muscles with TENS. Once the muscles are relaxed your optimal bite is found and impressions are taken. The next step is to have a temporary fixed orthotic placed. This allows you to have a trial run at your new bite and for minor adjustments to be made if necessary. Once you are comfortable in your new bite we can provide options to permanently change your bite – orthodontic treatment, restorative treatment, or snap on smile.
