Neuromuscular dentistry and TMD

Have you noticed a popping or clicking of your jaw? How about unexplained ringing in your ears? Perhaps you’re suffering from migraines, neck and back pain or other unusual symptoms that seem to have no explanation.

You may be suffering from TMD, Temporomandibular Joint Disorder. TMD occurs when your upper and lower jaws become misaligned, forcing your bite out of its natural position. Where general dentistry addresses typical problems associated with your teeth and gums, Neuromuscular Dentistry is specifically used to determine the perfect resting position for your jaw, adjusting your jaw to relieve pain and discomfort.

Despite the fact that TMD is a common condition, diagnosis and treatment requires an expert to perform the delicate and precise jaw alignment necessary to alleviate your symptoms. Because the misalignment of TMD is often difficult to note using traditional methods of observation, experts specializing in Neuromuscular Dentistry use sophisticated diagnostics for the most effective treatment, which includes:

Testing the jaw joint
Testing the sounds of the jaw joint
Recording and analyzing muscle activity
Recording and analyzing muscle movements

This refined method of analysis is the basis of your customized treatment plan designed to correct your misaligned bite and end the symptoms causing you pain, with no need for potentially harmful medication.

If you or a loved one is suffering needlessly from the symptoms of TMJ, please contact a neuromuscular dentist in your area. In Rochester, Michigan, please contact Dr. Jeffrey Haddad and Dr. Kurt Doolin at Rochester Advanced Dentistry.

Josie had significant wear, and severe crowding of her front teeth. After searching for the right office, she allowed us to give her the smile of her dreams. With 20 porcelain veneers, Josie was able to correct the shape, position, and crowdedness of her teeth. This is a great example of what we call “instant orthodontics.” Josie loves her new smile and the increased self-confidence it has given her.

Dan came to our office concerned with the severe wear he had on his teeth. He felt that his smile "looked old and worn down." Dan was only 35 years old and due to his severe grinding habit and TMJ Symptoms, his teeth were being destroyed. With a combination of porcelain veneers and all porcelain crowns, we rebuilt Danny's teeth and gave him the smile a man his age should have. Danny now has the confidence to smile again.

Stephanie arrived in “temporary veneers” from a dentist in Boston. She came to us for our opinion on her shocking situation. Stephanie’s temporaries were appalling! We showed her that our temporary veneers are identical versions of the final veneers, and she knew she was in the right place. With 8 porcelain veneers, we gave this stunning girl the smile that rightfully complimented her beauty!
