Neuromuscular Dentistry

Traditional dentistry is based on mechanical concepts that assume that your present bite (occlusion) is best for you. Such dental treatment generally aims to restore your bite to that position - what might be called two-dimensional dentistry. Neuromuscular Dentistry takes into consideration a third dimension - the status and function of the muscles that control jaw position, chewing and swallowing.

Using computerized equipment, the Neuromuscular Dentist can measure and study that pattern of jaw opening and closing through its full range of motion and in three dimensions. The computer can also document the precise point at which your jaw is being held in relation to the upper teeth and can measure the activity of the key muscles that control the jaw - both in function and at rest. Rather than relying on  your present jaw position as being the best one for you, the dentist can use the additional objective information to determine if your jaw position (bite) should be left as is or adjustment to a more optimal position.
