Neuromuscular Dentistry

Neuromuscular dentistry works with the hard tissues and soft tissues, muscles and nerves of the jaw, primarily, and involves placing the jaw into its optimal position, relieving symptoms associated with TMJ. Dr. Rowen understands Neuromuscular dentistry in that your hard and soft tissues have a complex relationship. Dr. Rowen uses this understanding to improve the correlation of the power source (muscles) and the controls (nerves) which create the movement, pressures, and function of the mouth.

Neuromuscular Dentistry can help alleviate symptoms such as headaches, neck and shoulder pain, jaw pain, clicking or popping in the jaw, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears). You may suffer from one or more of these symptoms. In the past, unfortunately, these symptoms may have been misdiagnosed or dismissed as having no physiological cause. In some cases, these symptoms can actually be attributed to TMJ (temporomandibular joint syndrome), also referred to as TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) or MPD (myofascial pain dysfunction). These terms are just different names for the same group of symptoms.

Dr. Rowen, a Neuromuscular Dentist in Boca Raton, Florida, may be able to help you if you are suffering from any of the above symptoms or a number of other symptoms.
