Neuromuscular dentistry focuses on the relationship between your jaw position, the jaw muscles, and the nerve tissue surrounding the jaw. Cosmetic dentist David S. Frey, DDS uses neuromuscular dentistry to treat TMJ disorders in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles area patients.

The temporomandibular joint ( TMJ) is the main jaw joint. This joint is prone to developing a dysfunction or disorder, causing pain throughout the jaw, face, head, and even neck and shoulders. Although TMJ is the actual jaw joint, the acronym is often used to describe the syndrome or disorder. More appropriately, TMD is used, but the two are often interchanged freely.

TMJ/TMD can cause not only pain and discomfort, but also a slow erosion of the teeth. When the jaw is misaligned, teeth may become worn or chipped. Neuromuscular dentistry can relax the jaw muscles, allowing the upper and lower jaw to properly align.
Common Symptoms of TMJ/TMD That Can be Treated with Neuromuscular Dentistry

TMJ has numerous symptoms. Dr. Frey utilizes neuromuscular dentistry to help his Beverly Hills and Los Angeles area patients find relief from: * Headaches * Facial pain * Jaw pain * Neck and/or shoulder pain * Popping or clicking of the jaw * Worn or chipped teeth * Limited jaw movement * Ringing in the ears

Unfortunately some patients do not realize that the pain and discomfort that they are experiencing is due to TMJ syndrome. These patients either mask the pain with over the counter pain relievers or seek advice from their primary care physician, all the while delaying the relief that neuromuscular dentistry can provide.

Dr. Frey uses his experience with neuromuscular dentistry to analyze a patient's bite and determine how to reposition the bite so your jaw is in the most relaxed position. This tends to relieve the pain associated with TMJ disorders. After treatment, most patients feel far less pain.

  • @jforgizmo . TMD is caused by muscles but you must understand that your lower jaw is in a sling of muscles. When these muscles are in their most relaxed position, the jaws normal arc of closure may have to work or stress to place the teeth together. By aligning the teeth into this normal arc of closure keeps the muscles of the jaw happy. We help many patients on a day to day basis and the proof is in the pudding.

  • Neuromuscular dentistry (splints then cosmetic surgery) is wrong to assume that misalignment of your teeth causes TMD, and double blind studies don't support splints-then-reconstruction. The only supported diagnostic for TMD (chronic sleep clenching or grinding) is EMG sleep studies, and you can rent an ipod sized unit from a dentist. Most TMD is NOT caused by misalignment, but it was long one of the only causes dentists could address, and the treatment is profitable. Google Grindcare USA.

  • I did this after a dentist pulled out some teeth and my whole bite in my

    mouth shifted. A neck injury flared up and I was totally miserable. I ended

    up wearing an orthodic dental plastic mouthpiece for about ten YEARS. It

    helped but I was always loosing it, and it finally broke. It cost me $8,000.00,and now

    I am not able to replace it and am totally miserable. I wish Dentists like this were

    just a little cheaper. Good luck out there.

  • Doctor, please cite a peer-reviewed randomized controlled clinical trial that shows this treatment works? And what do you do when it does not work?

  • @LinkinParkHotspur Actually, I shouldn't say "we" because I'm not sure if I actually have TMJ yet.

  • I think they make all of this sound a lot more miraculous than it is. We need more of a cure. More of a real non conventional treatment. Not just more accurate diagnosis.

  • do you feel TMJ on your hole jaw because i feel it on my left side of the jaw

  • Watch 90210 good quality

  • As a non medical professional but a person who has tmjd, I believe that blurred vision is a symptom. I would seek out confirmation of a TMJD disorder and treatment by a TMJ specialist. All the best.
