TMD / Neuromuscular Dentistry in Cary, NC

A healthy smile is more than just beautiful teeth. A healthy smile is when the muscles, bones, teeth and nerves are in harmony. When the teeth are misaligned (malocclusion) they cannot provide the support the muscles in the face need for chewing and swallowing. As a result the muscles are strained causing various symptoms, which can include:

Headaches or migraines, neck, back or shoulder pain, numbness in fingers and arms, congestion, ringing, or stuffiness of the ears, pain or soreness around the jaw joints, pain in teeth that seems to move around, limited movement or locking jaw, clicking and popping sounds in the jaw joint. These symptoms are often referred to as TMJ, TMD, or MPD. Neuromuscular dentistry places the teeth and jaw in its optimal position, relieving the symptoms associated with TMJ.
