Neuromuscular Dentistry is the state-of-the-art approach dentists use to evaluate your occlusion. So what is occlusion? The Temporomandibular joint (TMJ), facial muscles and the teeth come together to work in harmony. These things dictate the relative position of your lower jaw (mandible) to your skull. Dr. Bryant can use the Neuromuscular Exam to determine if Neuromuscular techniques could improve your occulsion.

So What do I do Now?

Call Dr. Bryant to see if a Neuromuscular (NM) exam is appropriate for you. If Dr. Bryant thinks Neuromuscular Dentistry may help you, he can explain how Computerized Mandibular Scanning (CMS), Surface Electromyography (SEMG) and Electrosonography tests can help determine your ideal bite, which in turn may solve symptoms occuring from a "Bad Bite".

If you are considering extensive crowning, veneering or bridging of teeth, implants, partials, dentures or jaw surgery consider a NM Dental exam to assure a comfortable, healthy and functional occlusion. Call Dr. Bryant today.
