Neuromuscular Dentistry
As an LVI Master, instructor, and neuromuscular dentist, Dr. Burch understands the importance of whole-mouth harmony. Your jaw joints, bones, muscles, and nerves rely on proper occlusion and alignment for optimal function. Stress, heredity, injury, and a number of other factors can cause jaw joints (TMJ) to become misaligned. This irritates muscles and nerves, and many patients find themselves suffering with migraines, earaches, face and neck pain, jaw pain, impaired oral function, and habitual teeth grinding (called bruxism).
If you experience any of these symptoms, the trigger could be related to TMJ disorder. With state-of-the-art diagnostics and proven, minimally invasive neuromuscular therapy, Dr. Burch can restore optimal jaw positioning and relieve your TMJ migraines and pain.
Here's what Joey Burch said about neuromuscular dentistry on our recent radio broadcast:
I absolutely love what neuromuscular dentistry does for patients. It catapults dentistry into another echelon.
You could be lulling yourself into a false sense of security if you believe that dental health is just about being cavity free, flossing regularly, and seeing your dentist two or three times a year. When was the last time your dentist asked you if you felt you were prematurely aging…or losing your vitality and intellectual quickness...or if you just feel older than your years? Imagine having a three-dimensional analysis of your head and upper cervical area. Additionally, they not only checked your teeth for cavities, but they discussed possible issues like uneven wearing and receding gums and how to prevent it, or better yet, how to restore the imbalances that were aging you before your time. Restoring the natural underlying support by reengineering your bite and correcting your jaw -to-jaw alignment can reestablish neural, chemical, and muscular coordination throughout your entire body.
With neuromuscular dentistry, smiles are created after the foundation is properly evaluated. Doesn't it make sense to find the Master of neuromuscular and aesthetic dentistry?
