TMD(Temporomandibular joint dysfunction) is a chronic illness that affects 75 million people at any one time. People who suffer from TMD have a structural imbalance in their jaw-to-skull relationship, most often caused by a bad bite. To correct this condition, a neuromuscular dentist will bring the jaw back to a muscularly balanced position.
Neuromuscular dentistry is the science of using the relaxed position of the muscles of the head and neck to place the jaw into an optimal physiologic position. Healthy muscles work together in harmony and are able to rest more comfortably. When muscles rest in their natural position, symptoms are alleviated.
