WHAT IS TMJ AND TMD PAIN?

The temporomandibular joint behaves like a hinge that connects the jawbone to the temporal bones in the skull, found in front of each ear. This joint helps you move your jaw up and down and side to side to help you perform activities like chewing, talking, yawning, etc. Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are the problems you face with your jaw and the associated muscles controlling it.

TMD pain could arise from problems in the muscles found in the jaw or with the parts of the joint. Incorrect teeth alignment, injury to the joints jaw, or dysfunction of the orofacial muscles, head and neck muscles, hip alignments, etc, can cause TMJ issues. These problems can increase the clenching and grinding of your teeth, thereby adding excessive pressure on your joints. Clenching and Grinding teeth arise from an incorrect bite and incorrect neck and hip posture. Additionally, clenching and grinding are a by-product of an airway obstruction in one’s sleep.

To help ease your symptoms and keep the pain at bay, we re-establish the harmony in your mouth through concepts of Gneuromuscular Dentistry, which is superior to Neuromuscular Dentistry. The concept of Gneuromuscular Dentistry is based on establishing a harmonious balance between the hip alignments, head, muscles of the neck, shoulder, temporomandibular joint, and the teeth.

COMMON TMD SYMPTOMS

TMD pain can manifest in the form of several symptoms. Hence, it is essential to understand your symptoms and get a proper diagnosis.

WHAT IS GNM DENTISTRY?

GNM= GNATHOLOGICS + NEUROMUSCULAR

Gneuromuscular Dentistry (GNM)combines the concepts of having a correct bite and balanced muscle forces. In other words, it is the combination of applying a refined skill set based on the understanding required to effectively treat cases comprehensively. GNM goes beyond the present-day concepts of  Neuromuscular Dentistry and focuses on body alignment, optimal mandibular function, and accurate occlusion that results in optimal function and form.

A fundamental skill any dentist should have is the ability to find the correct bite. A Gneuromuscular (GNM) TMJ doctor focuses on TMD pain, Body Alignment, Optimal Jaw function & the Correct bite.

WHAT ARE GNM ORTHOTICS FOR TMJ TREATMENT?

The appliances used as GNM orthotics for TMJ may look like any other TMJ Splints or TMJ mouthguards. But it implements both gnathologic and neuromuscular principles. The GNM approach and orthotic design cannot be compared by merely looking at the external (visual) features as there are other factors such as its physiologic inherent components that support optimal muscle balance, TM joint harmony, occlusal harmony and many other functional features that move physical dysfunctions to physiologic quality health and shifts functional impairments to an improved quality of life.
