A Neuromuscular Approach to TMD Therapy

Proper evaluation of your condition is important for a successful treatment outcome. Sophisticated equipment is used to measure jaw-muscle activity and patterns of jaw movement to help make the correct diagnosis.  Your progress can be monitored objectively through the course of treatment as your muscles relax, your symptoms disappear, and harmony is restored to your bite at last.

Neuromuscular Dentistry is helping thousands of people who suffer from TMD.   The incredible success of the neuromuscular approach to TMD therapy lies in its ability to effectively treat the source of the dysfunction, rather than simply remedy the symptoms.  Neuromuscular Dentistry recognizes that all three factors of the bite (occlusion) must function together in harmony for true health and comfort to exist.  As a specially trained neuromuscular dentist, Dr. Morhaliek seeks to establish a harmonious relationship within your occlusion.  By applying your body’s natural laws of physiology and muscle isotonicity, the proper equilibrium can be restored to your masticatory system, leaving you healthy and feeling comfortable at last, without the use of potentially harmful medications.  The benefits of this care extend far beyond those people suffering from chronic pain and migraine headaches.  Neuromuscular principles can be applied to almost everyone, offering a lifetime of comfort, health and longevity for both you and your precious smile.
