tmd treatment

Many people don’t realize that a wide variety of physical complaints may be related to their oral health.  Do you suffer from headaches? Popping & Clicking in the jaw?  Dull, aching facial pain?   You may be suffering from a Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD -  Also often referred to as “TMJ” ). What is a Temporomadibular Joint Disorder? To put it simply, the Temporomandibular Joint, the joint that connects your jaw to your skull, is not functioning properly. Proper function of the TMJ depends on it’s shape and the teeth and muscles of the face and neck working together in harmony. The manner in which your teeth come together is often referred to as your “bite” (the technical term is occlusion.)
Dr. Mimi utilizes the principles of Neuromuscular Dentistry to evaluate each of these components.  She can then develop an individual treatment plan that brings these elements together in functional harmony creating an optimal occlusion, or a Neuromuscular Bite.
