Neuromuscular Dentistry
Solving the pain puzzle
with neuromuscular dentistry.
Dentistry plays a vital role in diagnosing and treating many
chronic aches and pains. Neuromuscular dentistry is a branch
of dentistry that considers the physiologic aspects of head
and neck symptoms. The focus of neuromuscular dentistry is
finding the etiology of a number of TMJ-related symptoms,
such as...
Migraines
Headaches
Sore neck muscles
Tinnitus (Ringing in the ears)
Vertigo
Worn, chipped teeth
Facial pain
Sore jaw joints
Numbness of the fingertips
Orchard Scotts Dental is the leading neuromuscular/TMJ
analysis facility using state of the art diagnostic
instruments. With sophisticated computer analysis we are
able to quantify your optimal jaw and bite position and
thus, find balance between facial muscles and joints (fig.1
& 2).

Porcelain Veneers
Veneers can be used to improve your smile. They are thin
shells of porcelain or plastic bonded to the teeth to
improve color and shape. It generally covers only the front
and the top of a tooth. It can be used to close spaces
between teeth, lenghten small or mishapen teeth or whiten
stained or dark teeth. It takes two or more appointments to
restore teeth with veneers
Porcelain Crowns
If you are having a tooth colored crown made it could be a
porcelain metal crown or with new technology available today
it could be a full porcelain crown. To have enough strength
to withstand biting forces, porcelain crowns always used to
be built on a metal core. This may result a dark blue or
black line at the gum level due to the metal inside the
crown.
Sleep Apnea
The Greek word "apnea" means "without breath".
Sleep apnea is a common disorder in which you may
actually stop breathing while you sleep.
There are three types of sleep apnea. Central sleep
apnea is a condition where the brain does not send a signal
to the body to breathe. Obstructive sleep apnea is a
condition where there is a physical obstruction to inhibit
breathing. The last type of sleep apnea is Mixed, where
there is an obstruction to breathing and a brain signal
issue. The Obstructive Sleep Apnea is the most common type.
In all three types, people with untreated sleep apnea
stop breathing or breath insufficiently to keep their blood
oxygen saturation up. This can occur hundreds of time an
hour. Each time it occurs, the brain arouses the individual
to resume "normal" breathing. This results in interrupted
and poor quality sleep.
