Neuromuscular Dentistry
Dentzz has been one of the pioneers in introducing neuromuscular dentistry, with the primary objective of correcting the alignment of jaws and the bite of the teeth. Our neuromuscular dentists place the jaw in its best-suited position, thereby relieving patients from the various problems associated with TMD. We create a balance between teeth, gums and bones, muscles and joints and nerves, unlike traditional dentistry that focuses on teeth alone. Through this branch of dentistry, we deal with typically all the functions of the mouth, which include swallowing, yawning, singing, chewing, biting and speaking.
Once the symptoms are identified, neuromuscular dentistry can cure
Shoulder pain
Jaw pain
Ringing in the ears
Neck ache
Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw joints
Headaches or migraines
These problems are often caused by or are the result of Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MFP) and Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD). TMD is a chronic degenerative disease wherein patients suffer from an imbalance in the jaw-to-skull relationship due to malocclusion or ‘bad bite’.
Neuromuscular Dentistry Diagnosis
Neuromuscular dentists do not rely only on X-rays or digital radiographs, which reveal the condition and position of the jaw joints. Other diagnostic technologies help them in determining the perfect position of a person’s jaw so as to relieve them from TMD symptoms.
T- Scan or computerized occlusal analysis of a person’s bite
EMG (Electromyography) to measure the stressed and relaxed positions of a person’s jaw muscles as well as to identify the structural defects in the jaw joint
Jaw Vibrational Analysis (JVA) or Jaw Sonography to record the sounds made by the jaw joint and to determine the presence of abnormalities in the jaw
