Neuromuscular Orthodontics
With neuromuscular orthodontics, Dr. Fallah uses sophisticated analytical and treatment techniques to readjust a patient's jaws and teeth and provide relief from pain and other symptoms caused by a misaligned bite pattern.
Why Neuromuscular Orthodontics?
Problems with the alignment or functioning of the bite - such as in temporomandibular disorder, or TMJ. - can result in many painful or disruptive- Headaches
- Clicking and popping in the jaw
- Problems swallowing
- Facial discomfort
- Shoulder and neck discomfort
- Dizziness
- Ringing in the ears
- Tingling in the fingertips
- Even nervousness and insomnia
Neuromuscular orthodontics can effectively treat many of these symptoms by realigning a patient's teeth and jaw, resulting in relief from pain and in a much improved quality of life.
How Neuromuscular Orthodontics Works
Diagnosis
Neuromuscular orthodontics involves a sophisticated set of diagnostic techniques and technologies that can be used both to determine what may be causing a patient's symptoms and to suggest the optimal bite pattern for alleviating them. These techniques might include:
- Using TENS (transcutaneous neural stimulation) to relax tense muscles and joints and help identify the ideal positioning for a patient's muscles and teeth
- Measuring muscle activity using electromyography (EMG)
- Measuring jaw movement using computerized electronics
- Studying the sounds made by the jaw using sonography
With these techniques, Dr. Fallah can identify the cause of your symptoms and also determine the best bite pattern for relieving them. Once your optimal bite pattern has been established, many options exist for achieving it, including:
- Reshaping your teeth using veneers
- Realigning your teeth with sturdy porcelain crowns
- Aligning your bite using Invisalign or traditional braces.
Once your new bite has been achieved, you'll see the difference that it makes in your day-to-day life.
Neuromuscular orthodontics can provide a wide range of health benefits, including relief from chronic pain, and can even be an alternative to surgery for TMJ. Call Dr. Fallah today to find out what neuromuscular orthodontics can do for you.
