Neuromuscular/TMJ

IF PAIN IS DICTATING THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE, THIS INFORMATION CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER!

neuromuscular dentistry Houston TMJ is just one of the symptoms of a Neuromuscular disorder. Others are MIGRAINES, frequent headaches, facial pain, neck, shoulder and back pain, unexplained loose, sensitive or painful teeth, worn or cracked teeth and/or crowns, jaw pain, clicking or popping of the jaw joints, numbness in fingers or arms, depression, vertigo and ringing in the ears. MOST people who are needlessly suffering have no idea that these symptoms can be stemming from their mouth! A misaligned bite which is preventing their jaw joints, muscles and teeth to be working harmoniously together is physically stressful enough to do this. Through miraculous advances in detecting Neuromuscular disorders, patients who thought they were doomed to live like this forever, are being cured everyday!

Neuromuscular Dentistry is the art and science of repositioning the jaw into it's most relaxed position. The muscles and joints of the jaw suffer from a great deal of stress and tension if the upper and lower teeth do not meet properly when you bite down. An overworked jaw results in pain and deterioration of teeth. With extremely advanced technology and the expertise of a highly trained and skilled Neuromuscular Dentist, the optimal position of your jaw is determined. There is no guesswork involved. A low frequency Myomonitor Tens Unit is used first to release your muscle tension and allow the jaw to relax. Then Dr. Clarke runs a series of muscle tests using the Myotronics K-7 EMG Unit to measure muscle activity. Through this very sophisticated computer and his knowledge, an analysis then pinpoints your exact optimal position, bringing harmony to the jaw joints, muscles and teeth. Dr. Clarke corrects this ailment with either a custom orthotic or Full Mouth Reconstruction, depending on your individual needs. With this procedure, your teeth are rebuilt with all porcelain veneers and crowns to reposition your bite to a new, pain-free one. The benefits of Full Mouth Reconstruction can change your life forever. It can take an unhealthy, painful, unattractive mouth and transform it into a healthy, functional, relaxed one. The bonus of an absolutely beautiful smile is just a plus!
