Headache Relief in Orange County,
We call TMJ Treatment “Neuromuscular Dentistry”
Chronic migraines. Grinding your teeth. Neck and shoulder
pain. Ear congestion and popping. Achy jaws. The list is endless
and often the symptoms are blamed on stress.
But
if you’re one of the many who suffer from such ailments,
you may be surprised to learn that the cause of this pain
may be your bite. Or more specifically, the position of your
bite, called occlusion.
As one of the few dentists in Orange County to offer neuromuscular
dentistry for the diagnosis and treatment of malocclusion—a
poorly aligned bite— Dr. Henry can help you get back
to a pain free living.
He did just that for Marilyn. “I had TMJ pain and had
really ground down my teeth. When opened my mouth, my jaw
would grind. I had migraines, neck and shoulder pain and stuffy
popping ears. But I didn’t attribute any of them to
my bite!” says Marilyn.
“I had always wanted white teeth, then I saw Dr. Henry’s
ad in a magazine. I came to him for whitening. During my visit,
we talked about my smile and symptoms. That’s when I
found out that my bite was causing all my problems.”
Through Orange County neuromuscular dentistry, Dr. Henry
diagnosed Marilyn’s malocclusion. Through a series of
careful measurements, he determined the optimal position for
her jaw. He completed a full mouth restoration, returning
Marilyn’s teeth to healthy size, shape, appearance and
restoring her bite to a comfortable position.
Today, Marilyn’s chronic pain is gone. Best yet, she
has a beautiful, white, straight smile that she absolutely
loves.
While the name “neuromuscular dentistry” may
sound intimidating, it is actually a gentle, comfortable treatment
option. Many people who thought they were destined to endure
chronic pain have been restored to health and comfort. To
many, it’s nothing short of a miracle. What can it do
for you?
“I had headaches, neck pain and ear infections. I clenched
my jaws, woke up every morning with my jaw aching and I had
worn my front teeth down to points from grinding them.”
says Gary.
“I had been seeing the same dentist for 32 years. He
was old school and didn’t associate the symptoms with
my bite. “My wife was a patient of Dr. Henry and she
told me to see him. I was so surprised at the changes in dentistry
that he offered!”
“He recommended a full mouth restoration. I talked
to him for a year and a half about it. I did my homework,
researched it on the web and finally decided to have Dr. Henry
do the procedure.
“It was absolutely the right decision. The pain was
gone. I’ve had so much positive feedback. I smile more
now and my wife really likes my appearance.”
