TMJ / Neuromuscular Dentistry - Scottsdale AZ
Scottsdale - Phoenix - Arizona
Neuromuscular Dentistry (TMJ) is the premise that when the teeth are shortened the jaw over closes. Some of the causes are by wear, grinding, old age, clenching or even the cumulative effects of large amounts of dentistry. Dr. Alverson works on restoring the vertical dimension of the teeth by positioning your jaw with possibly orthodontics or other means to create a balance in the jaw.
Here are just a few of the symptoms you might be suffering from:
- Loose teeth
- Loss of teeth & bite changes
- Ringing in the ears
- Clenching of jaw
- Grinding of teeth
- Ear congestion
- Difficulty swallowing
- Jaw pain
- Clicking / popping in the jaw joints
- Limited opening of the mouth
- Headaches
Dr. Alverson has the technology and education to help you create a healthier bite and align your jaw so you are no longer in pain.
