Neuromuscular Dentistry
West LA » Neuromuscular Dentistry
Sometimes our teeth and bite can have affects beyond our mouths. TMJ, which stands for temporomandibular joint syndrome, affects almost 11 million Americans, and can cause a whole variety of neuromuscular problems that can affect your overall health. Issues ranging from jaw pain to migraines can often be traced to issues that stem from neuromuscular issues in the mouth, and CCIND is here to help you overcome and treat those issues. CCIND offers top-of-the-line technology for treating both the effects of the TMJ and TMJ itself. You will be amazed at how many ailments you may experience on a daily basis can be treated with neuromuscular therapy for TMJ.
Luckily, most treatments for TMJ are non-surgical and non-invasive, and involve realigning the jaw in a natural way, thorough help of bite splints and mouth guards, which slowly slide your jaw back into proper placement in the same way that braces slide your teeth into placement, without the need of metal or any permanent fixtures in your mouth.
We offer the services necessary to evaluate, diagnose, and treat TMJ all here at CCIND in our neuromuscular department. Friendly staff and knowledgeable, highly-trained medical professionals are here for consultations, x-rays, diagnostic models of your mouth, teeth, and bite, and all of our corrective procedures.
