Neuromuscular FAQS

Neuromuscular dentistry is a well-documented system of diagnosis and treatment options that restore balance and harmony to all areas of the jaw - teeth, bone, muscles, nerves, and joints. With TMJ / TMD, the jaw joints and muscles fail to properly align and function as they should, resulting in a ‘bad bite.’  When your teeth match up improperly, many side-effects can result.  Symptoms of TMJ / TMD include head, neck and jaw pain, clicking or popping in the jaw, and ringing in the ears. 

Neuromuscular dentists undergo extensive training to help alleviate their patients’ symptoms of neuromuscular difficulties, and restore a healthy bite.   Because this field of study has just begun to receive widespread attention, symptoms of neuromuscular disorders often go misdiagnosed, undiagnosed, or ignored.  A specially-trained neuromuscular dentist may be able to help patients who suffer from serious neuromuscular symptoms:

• Headaches / Migraines
• Facial Pain
• Neck and Shoulder Pain
• Tinnitus
• Unexplained Loose Teeth
• Sensitive and Sore Teeth
• Depression
• Jaw Pain
• Limited Jaw Movement or Locking Jaw
• Numbness in the Fingers or Arms
• Clicking or Popping in the Jaw Joints

Using state-of-the-art jaw tracking technology, Dr. Massa will map out your jaw joint, skeletal and muscular system to identify the dysfunction and prescribe a high-tech treatment.  Treatment of neuromuscular dysfunction can range from simple bite corrections to mandibular jaw repositioning orthotics, or orthodontics, or dentistry to restore proper tooth contact to a harmonious position.  Dr. Massa has years of experience helping TMJ / TMD sufferers find effective, affordable neuromuscular solutions.
