Most people are very surprised to realize that most of these symptoms are actually related to their bite:

  • headaches / migraines
  • sleep apnea & upper airway resistance syndrome
  • facial pain
  • back, neck and shoulder pain
  • tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
  • vertigo (dizziness)
  • Bell’s palsy, a nerve disorder unrelated to TMD
  • sensitive and sore teeth
  • jaw pain
  • limited jaw movement or locking jaw
  • numbness in the fingers and arms
  • worn or cracked teeth
  • clicking or popping in the jaw joints
  • jaw joint pain
  • clenching/bruxing
  • tender sensitive teeth
  • a limited opening or inability to open the mouth comfortably
  • deviation of the jaw to one side
  • the jaw locking open or closed
  • postural problems (forward head posture)
  • pain in the joint(s) or face when opening or closing the mouth, yawning, or chewing
  • pain in the muscles surrounding the temporomandibular joints
  • pain in the occipital (back), temporal (side), frontal (front), or infra-orbital (below the eyes) portions of the head
  • pain behind the eyes
  • swelling on the side of the face and/or mouth
  • a bite that feels uncomfortable, “off,” or as if it is continually changing

Most of these symptoms can be significantly reduced if not eliminated by getting your bite right through neuromuscular dentistry.  Call our office for a consultation if you experience any of these symptoms!
