Neuromuscular Orthodontics
Neuromuscular Orthodontics for Adults
Understanding neuromuscular orthodontics for adults requires the recognition of how the positioning of teeth, jaws, and muscles can greatly influence the state of health and wellness. The approach in neuromuscular orthodontics for adults seeks to achieve proper functioning of the jaw and its musculature by addressing the neuromuscular system as a whole, rather than focusing on the teeth alone.
Neuromuscular orthodontics for adults can correct chronic jaw pain, TMJ disorders, headaches, and posture problems caused by misalignment compounded by using your jaw over 5,000 times a day will create the above listed issues. In the end, neuromuscular orthodontics is a comprehensive solution for adults looking to have long-term relief from issues related to jaw misalignment and muscle tension by creating consistent function to the posture and musculature of the face and body.
The Importance of Timely TMJ Care for Adults
Issues of jaw misalignment should be treated as soon as possible to avoid long-term complications. Early treatment will reduce discomfort and improve alignment, preventing the condition from getting worse. In this way, adults can protect their health and enjoy a more active and fulfilling lifestyle. Creating 5,000 times a day of function through measured jaw alignment will create optimal results.
Adults who experience the symptoms listed below should seek professional evaluation by Dr. Insolera to help determine an appropriate specialized approach:
- Those with TMJ Disorders – Individuals who have pain related to their TMJ or issues such as jaw clicking, popping, or limited movement may benefit from a type of neuromuscular orthodontics.
- People with Chronic Jaw Pain or Headaches – Those who frequently experience jaw pain, facial discomfort, or headaches related to muscle tension and jaw misalignment could find relief through this approach.
- Individuals with Malocclusion (Misaligned Teeth) – If misalignment is causing discomfort or functional issues like difficulty chewing, speaking, or biting, neuromuscular orthodontics can help optimize jaw position for improved comfort and function.
- Those with Postural Issues – Forward head posture, neck pain, and spinal alignment issues due to jaw imbalances may benefit from neuromuscular techniques that correct the jaw and posture.
- Patients with Sleep Apnea or Snoring – Neuromuscular orthodontics can help in certain cases to correct a misaligned bite or jaw that causes sleep apnea or snoring.
- Individuals with Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) – People who grind their teeth due to misalignment of the jaw or tension in the muscles may be treated with neuromuscular orthodontics.
- Anyone experiencing TMJ has to have forward head posture with subsequent head and back issues with head being forward at the shoulders over time. This creates a whole body muscle imbalance that all TMJ sufferers experience.
