Neuromuscular Dentistry

What is Neuromuscular Dentistry?

Neuromuscular Dentistry is an approach to dentistry that looks at a person's teeth as part of an interrelated whole, composed, not only by teeth, but by facial muscles, nerves, bone, joints (jaw bone and jaw joint), neck, posture, and a person's airway.  Why?  Because science has shown that each of these body parts impacts how the other works.

The Neuromuscular Dentist looks to establishing the ideal "optimal" bite position for each individual based on in-office studies that allow for the teeth, muscles, nerves, joints, and airway to function at their very best. Tooth restorations and other dental procedures are performed in accordance with the individual's optimal bite.  It's easy to comprehend really, if you see your mouth as a part of the whole body and understand that every aspect of your body has a function to perform which is vital to the well-being of the whole.

Science and technology allow the neuromuscular dentist to give you the best care possible.  As a result you will have a beautiful smile, and above all, an optimally functioning bite.  Check out our page on Your Bite, What's the Big Deal?  for more information and pictures of bites that lead to problems of a diverse nature.
