Neuromuscular Dentistry
Colorado Springs
To have a healthy, attractive smile, you must first have a healthy bite. When the bite is out of alignment (called malocclusion), a variety of problems can occur. The most prevalent is temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ / TMD). Advances in the science of complete dentistry have taught us how to bring the jaw into a relaxed position to help alleviate years of pain and discomfort.
What are the symptoms?
You may be a candidate for neuromuscular dentistry if you experience any of the following symptoms on a regular basis:
- Headaches or migraines
- Unexplained loose teeth
- Worn, chipped or cracked teeth
- Cracked, chipped or broken dental restorations
- Pain or soreness around the jaw joints
- Pain in teeth that seems to move around
- Neck, shoulder or back pain
- Facial pain
- Clicking or grating sounds in the jaw joints
- Limited movement or locking jaw
- Numbness in your fingers and arms
- Congestion or stuffiness of the ears
How can you help me?
Dr. Solich is highly trained in the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular problems. Following a comprehensive examination, if you’re diagnosed with malocclusion, Dr. Solich will recommend a plan to correct your bite.
Treatment plans include the use of a dental orthotic to gently shift your teeth and/or dental restorations, raising or lowering areas of your bite. Placed on one tooth, several, or every tooth, these restorations will create a natural, comfortable position for your jaw.
How will I look after treatment?
We find that many people experience a moderate to significant change in their facial appearance after treatment. The realignment of the jaw creates balance and an aesthetically pleasing result.
