Neuromuscular Dentistry By Houston TMJ Dentist

Neuromuscular dentistry is the art and science of using the relaxed position of the muscles of the head and neck to place the jaw into an optimal physiologic position. When the harmony of the teeth, the facial muscles, and the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) no longer exist, TMJ dysfuunction arises.

Thirty years of research and clinical experience have enabled Neuromuscular dentists, such as Houston TMJ dentist, Dr. Hoopingarner, to treat this problem by restoring the harmony and successfully treating many different levels of pain. By finding the optimal position for the jaw, we eliminate the pain, protect the natural dentition from destructive forces, and optimize the longevity of any restorations.
