Neuromuscular Dentistry
Neuromuscular Dentistry focuses on the proper alignment of the jaw in relation to the muscles that control the functioning of the jaw. An imbalance in the jaw-to-skull relationship results in a bad bite (malocclusion).
Using neuromuscular dentistry techniques and technology, Dr. Forslund is able to place the jaw into its optimal and most comfortable position position, relieving the symptoms associated with TMJ (temporomandibular joint syndrome).
Problems that can arise from an improper bite include:
Headaches/migraines; jaw pain; neck, shoulder and back pain; bruxism (tooth grinding); tinnitus (ringing in the ears); vertigo (dizziness); limited jaw movement; uneven or excessive tooth wear; or clicking or popping in the jaw joint.
How is Neuromuscular Dentistry Different?
Neuromuscular Dentistry treatment serves to correct the bite and realign the jaw. Using the most technologically advanced treatment available, Dr. Forslund is able to record muscle activity, relax overworked muscles that contribute to pain and restore your bite into a balanced, harmonious, stable and pain-free position.
The Process:
First your dentist determines the optimal position of the jaw by measuring the relaxed position of the head and neck muscles, and then repositioning the jaw to achieve those exact measurements.
Malocclusion is relatively easy to correct. Treatment options include adjusting the bite, orthotics, orthodontics or restoring the teeth to their correct positions.
Benefits:
Patients of neuromuscular dentistry experience a range of benefits from decreased or eliminated pain and discomfort to better overall health and longer-lasting dental restorations.
Dr. Forslund received his advanced training in Neuromuscular Dentistry, TMJ and Pain Treatment at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, the world’s leading training facility for neuromuscular dentists.
