Aligning the Jaw. Relieving the Pain. Restoring the Balance.
Neuromuscular Dentistry is a modern approach that goes beyond teeth and gums—it focuses on the intricate relationship between the jaw joint, muscles, and nerves to achieve a healthy bite and overall wellness. At Dr. Sakina Dental Care Clinic, we use advanced diagnostics to evaluate jaw alignment and muscular health, offering relief for a variety of chronic conditions.
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD)
TMD affects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects the jaw to the skull. Misalignment or dysfunction in this joint can cause headaches, jaw pain, neck stiffness, and difficulty chewing. Through neuromuscular analysis, we identify imbalances in the joint and surrounding muscles and offer custom treatments such as splints, bite adjustments, or relaxation therapy to restore harmony and relieve pain.
Muscular Imbalance
When the muscles responsible for jaw movement are strained or out of sync due to an improper bite, it can lead to fatigue, clenching, and chronic discomfort. We assess muscle activity using computerized technology to determine the ideal resting position of the jaw. By guiding the jaw into its optimal position, we help reduce stress on the muscles and eliminate symptoms like facial pain or tension headaches.
Sleep Apnea
Neuromuscular dentistry also plays a vital role in managing sleep apnea—a condition where airflow is blocked during sleep, causing fatigue and health risks. If the jaw or tongue position contributes to airway obstruction, we provide custom oral appliances that gently reposition the jaw to keep the airway open during sleep, offering a non-invasive alternative to CPAP therapy.
At Dr. Sakina Dental Care Clinic, our neuromuscular dentistry services focus on treating the root cause—not just the symptoms. Discover long-term relief and improved quality of life through holistic jaw alignment.
