703.478.9574Neuromuscular Dentistry
Reston and Arlington, VA
Neuromuscular dentistry is a technique founded upon the belief that a healthy smile begins with a healthy bite (Occlusion). The way the upper and lower teeth come together is part of a system of teeth muscles and joints. If your teeth do not fit together properly the muscles and joints work overtime to get them together. A consequence of the muscles working when they should be relaxed can be headache pain, clicking and popping of the joints and stiff or sore neck and shoulders.
Neuromuscular dentistry considers the entire system that controls the position and function of your jaw. The neuromuscular Dentist seeks to establish a jaw position based on a harmonious relationship of the three main factors affecting occlusion, teeth, muscles and jaw-joints. When the optimal position is achieved a range of benefits are experienced including decreased or eliminated pain and discomfort as well as better overall health and longer lasting dental restorations.
