TMJ / Headaches LVI dentist Philadelphia

Neuromuscular Dentistry If you woke up with a headache again this morning, you weren’t alone. Millions of people spend their sleeping hours grinding their teeth. Most attribute it to stress. Most are wrong. Nocturnal grinding is a common symptom of malocclusion – a misaligned bite; a condition that leads to symptoms that range from annoying to painful. But the problem is easily diagnosed and corrected with neuromuscular dentistry.

What is Neuromuscular Dentistry?Neuromuscular dentistry is a nonsurgical discipline used to diagnose and treat malocclusion through the gentle repositioning of the jaw, alleviating years of pain and discomfort and enhancing the appearance of the smile.LVI dentist Philadelphia: TMJ Signs & SymptomsWhen the bite is off (malocclusion), many problems can occur. The most common is TMJ (temporomandibular joint syndrome), a condition that causes pain and soreness in the jaw. But malocclusion also causes many other symptoms that make diagnosis for most health professionals difficult, including:

  • TMJ pain
  • Clicking and popping in the jaw joints when eating or talking
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Sinus problems
  • Tinnitus (ringing in ears)
  • Unexplained loose teeth
  • Worn, chipped or cracked teeth
  • Cracked, chipped or broken dental restorations
  • Pain or soreness around the jaw joints
  • Pain in teeth that seems to move around
  • Stiffness or soreness in the neck, shoulders and back, sometimes radiating down your arm to your fingers
  • Snoring
  • Vertigo (dizziness)
  • Congestion or stuffiness of the ears, or subjective hearing loss

The symptoms are so diverse; they may be attributed to stress, injury or illness. In fact, patients often seek the help of a variety of specialists, from family physicians to chiropractors. But the pain is never fully resolved. LVI Neuromuscular dentistry may be the answer.

Benefits of LVI Neuromuscular Dentistry: LVI Dentist Philadelphia

To put it simply, LVI Neuromuscular dentistry places the jaw into its optimal position, relieving the symptoms associated with TMJ. While traditional dentistry evaluates primarily the teeth, bones, and gums, LVI Neuromuscular dentistry works with the hard tissues and the soft tissues, muscles and nerves. LVI Neuromuscular dentists understand that your hard and soft tissues have a complex relationship and work to make that relationship a harmonious one. LVI Neuromuscular dentists understand the necessity for including the power source (muscles) and the controls (nerves) which create the movement, pressures, and function of the mouth.

When the jaw is misaligned, both the hard and soft tissues are affected and many physiological problems can result, such as headaches, jaw pain, neck and shoulder pain, tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, and clicking or popping sounds in the jaw joint. In a number of cases, these symptoms are the result of TMJ (temporomandibular joint syndrome), also referred to as TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) or MPD (myofascial pain dysfunction).

LVI Dentist Philadelphia TMJ / TMD is a chronic degenerative disease that often takes years to develop. TMJ affects millions of people. People who suffer from TMJ have an imbalance in the jaw-to-skull relationship, which is caused by a bad bite (malocclusion).

Treatment LVI Dentist Philadelphia

Neuromuscular Dentistry serves to correct the bite and realign the jaw.

First the dentist determines the optimal position of the jaw by measuring the relaxed position of the head and neck muscles, and then repositions 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 LVI Dentist Philadelphia experience a range of benefits from decreased or eliminated pain and discomfort to better overall health and longer-lasting dental restorations.

TMJ / TMD and LVI Dentist Philadelphia

When the teeth, facial muscles, and temporomandibular joints are out of alignment, the symptoms of what have been identified as TMJ / TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome or Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) arise. Click here for more information about the symptoms of TMJ/TMD.

If you are suffering from TMJ symptoms, know that you are not alone! Although the vast majority of North Americans suffer from TMJ, most do not relate their pain and/or symptoms to a “bad bite”. Many people with TMJ are not diagnosed as having TMJ and are not treated correctly as a result.

Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies is the leading training facility for LVI Neuromuscular dentists. LVI Neuromuscular dentists that come from LVI are specially trained to recognize signs of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, a disorder that is so commonly passed by or misdiagnosed, and to provide the most appropriate care for the individual patient.

What is TMJ / TMD?

About Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction

TMJ / TMD, or temporomandibular joint disorder, is a term used to describe a group of symptoms including headaches; facial pain; jaw pain; sore, chipped, broken, or worn teeth, clicking or popping in the jaw, and limited jaw movement. In many cases people suffering from TMJ / TMD report chronic pain in the jaw, teeth, face, head, neck, shoulders, or back, or any combination of these areas. Snoring, grinding of teeth, frequent ear infections and restricted airway are other problems associated with TMJ / TMD. This group of symptoms is also referred to as MPD (myofascial pain dysfunction) and craniomandibular dysfunction.

LVI Dentist Philadelphia Who Suffers From TMJ

The majority of people suffer to a greater or lesser degree from TMJ. Although women report more pain from TMJ, TMJ in men causes as much or more damage to the teeth, gums, bones and joints. Children are especially sensitive to TMJ and usually show early signs with ear infections, leaning their head on an arm, lip, cheek, or finger biting, sucking or chewing, headaches, snoring, grinding of their teeth at night, and significant chewing of gum.

What is TMJ? LVI Dentist Philadelphia

TMJ stands for “temporomandibular joint,” or jaw joint. These are the small joints in front of each ear that attach the lower jaw to the skull, and happen to be the most complex joints in the entire body. The area of the face where the TMJ is located is an intricate network of bones, including the teeth, muscles, and nerves. Because of this, TMJ (dysfunction) conditions affect many areas of the body, from the top of the head in migraine-like headaches to numbness or tingling in the arms and pain in the neck or shoulders.

What Causes TMJ

In most cases, TMJ disorders stem from a condition called malocclusion, which means having a “bad bite” or accidents and trauma. Malocclusion means that your upper and lower teeth do not close together in the correct way—they are misaligned. This includes underbites and overbites. When the teeth are misaligned, they cannot provide the support the muscles in the face need for chewing and swallowing. These muscles are then forced into a strained position, resulting in pain throughout the face, head, arms, shoulders, and back. Although a person may have beautiful teeth or had orthodontics to line the teeth up for aesthetic reasons, the muscles and joints may not be comfortable.

How Can TMJ Be Treated

LVI Dentist Philadelphia first measure the most relaxed position of your jaw to determine the goal for normal jaw positioning. Then the dentist works to realign the bite and restore the teeth and thus the jaw and joints to their optimal position. Once the bite is realigned and the jaw is in place, pain that resulted from the imbalance disappears.
