Because the symptoms of TMJ are so varied, they were once often misdiagnosed. Luckily, this is no longer the case thanks to the advances of Neuromuscular Dentistry. This latest branch of dental care addresses the entire musculature of the face with special attention given to the alignment of the bite.
TMJ can now be easily and painlessly determined using the Myotronics K7, a state-of-the-art computerized EMG system. Dr. Murray will use the K7 in conjunction with an electrical muscle stimulator or Tensing Unit. Your facial muscles will be exercised, built-up toxins will be released and your jaw’s optimum relaxed position will be determined.
To correct TMJ, Dr. Murray will most likely use dental restorations to precisely raise or lower areas of your bite into a more natural position. In most cases, he can reposition your jaw without surgery or braces.
