Fallbrook TMJ Solutions
What is Neuromuscular Dentistry?
Neuromuscular dentists look at much more than teeth. They examine the bite and your chewing system - how the jaws, muscles and teeth all come together. When your jaw is in its most relaxed position, the muscles are comfortable. A poor temporomandibular joint (TMJ) causes muscle strain, pain, headaches, worn teeth and so much more. Dr. Goble is a neuromuscular dentist who can help you by working with the entire network of hard and soft tissue of the chewing system. This way, the complex system that supports your jaw is adjusted, so you can enjoy long-lasting comfort and relief.
Misalignment of the TMJ results in many painful problems, such as:
- Migraines or headaches
- Facial or neck muscle pain
- Uncomfortable chewing
- Popping or clicking of the jaw joint
- Dizziness
- Tingling fingertips
Fallbrook TMJ Treatment
Neuromuscular Dentistry, or Fallbrook TMJ treatment, serves to correct the bite and realign the jaw. First the dentist determines the optimal position of the jaw by measuring the relaxed position of the head and neck muscles, and then repositions the jaw to achieve those exact measurements. Malocclusion is relatively easy to correct. Treatment options include adjusting the bite, orthotics, orthodontics, or restoring the teeth to their correct positions.
Patients of neuromuscular dentistry experience a range of benefits from decreased or eliminated pain and discomfort to better overall health and longer-lasting dental restorations.
Fallbrook TMJ / TMD and Neuromuscular Dentistry
Neuromuscular dentists bring out the best jaw positions, benefitting your TMJ and alleviating TMD symptoms. The facial system needs teeth, muscles and joints to work together, and Dr. Goble can gently encourage a harmonious relationship of all these parts.
If you are suffering from TMJ symptoms, non-invasive relief may be able to help you! TMJ / TMD is often mis-diagnosed, or few people realize the neuromuscular dentist is able to help them.
Dr. Goble has trained at the preeminent centers for neuromuscular dentists. The Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies or LVI is such an institution where dentists are trained to recognize and treat TMD disorders. By working on the cause of the discomfort, symptoms can disappear completely, instead of constantly treating the symptoms themselves.
Dr. Goble can bring you Fallbrook TMJ relief with these three steps:
- Soothe tired muscles from the pain and spasms of being overworked. Dr. Goble uses ULF-TENS, Ultra Low Frequency Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation. A subtle massage helps muscles relax, through gentle electric pulsing. Muscles flush out toxins, increase blood flow and relax. Also, ULF-TENS releases endorphins, helping you feel better.
- Dr. Goble fits you with a mouthguard to balance and stabilize your bite. Also called an orthotic, it is comfortably worn over your teeth, to position them in a harmonious position. After establishing proper bite harmony, Dr. Goble will work to permanently get your bite correct.
- For your long-term solution, Dr. Goble can provide a solution for your bite. Come in for a consultation and learn how!
