Neuromuscular Dentistry

Building a Comfortable, Healthy Bite

A healthy smile begins with a healthy bite. When the bite is off (malocclusion), problems occur. Such bite-related problems include TMJ (temporomandibular joint syndrome), causing pain and soreness in the jaw. Malocclusion can also lead to a variety of health issues that may not normally be associated with your teeth, such as migraines.

What is Neuromuscular Dentistry?

Neuromuscular Dentistry is dental care for your bite. Neuromuscular Dentistry determines the optimal position of the jaw by measuring the relaxed position of head and neck muscles; then repositions the jaw to achieve those exact measurements.

Myotronics K7 and the Tens Unit are technologies Dr Murray uses for the diagnosis of malocclusion. These tools gently track the position of the jaw and surrounding muscles, determining the most comfortable position for the bite.
