TMJ / TMD / Neuromuscular Dentistry - Utah
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder
Traditional dentistry is two-dimensional and focuses on the belief that your natural occlusion, or bite, is the best position for your jaw.
However, if you begin to demonstrate the symptoms of a TMJ disorder, including a popping or clicking of the jaw, headaches, migraines, shoulder, neck, and back pain, or a ringing in your ears, you may want to consider neuromuscular dentistry.
Neuromuscular dentistry is used to determine the ideal position for your jaw by focusing on all three dimensions. By discovering the perfect resting position for your jaw and adjusting your jaw to this position, neuromuscular dentistry is able to relieve you of your discomfort.
