Headaches / TMJ / Chronic Pain
Dr. Markham - Ontario TMJ Dentist
Neuromuscular dentistry focuses on the muscles about the head and neck because 90% of pain, including TMJ, comes from muscle. Dr. Markham has trained extensively in this area of dentistry. Neuromuscular dentistry uses sophisticated instrumentation to evaluate how one's jaw muscles are working and where they would be most comfortable. Unlike all other TMJ dentists, our process of finding "a home" for a patient's bite (how the teeth come together) is precisely measurable. It is because of this precision that a neuromuscular orthotic typically achieves much more symptomatic relief then most splints and night guards which are fabricated in an arbitrary manner.
Many symptoms, ranging from headaches, to clicking/popping of the jaw joint, to ear problems and more, can be related to an incorrect bite. Neuromuscular dentistry is predictable, completely reversible and without the side effects of medications that are commonly used to treat these conditions.
