TMD Treatments - Neuromuscular Dentistry

in Virginia Beach, VA

If you suffer from temporomandibular disorder, or TMD, you know how painful and debilitating the condition can be. Fortunately, Dr. Folck and his staff have the training and the latest technologies available to treat even serious cases of TMD.

We will thoroughly evaluate your condition, pinpointing the cause and the extent of your problem, and recommend a course of treatment plan based on those findings.

To diagnose and effectively treat your TMD, we use state of the art myomonitor for TENS technology. This is a device that is specially designed to establish the ideal resting position of your bite. This tool works by relaxing your muscles and allowing the jaw to fall into its most natural position. We then take precise readings, and compare these to your current bite position, so we can determine just the right course of treatment for your specific condition.

Depending on the type and severity of your TMD, we may recommend one or more of the following treatments:

• Nightguards, to realign your jaw and prevent nighttime tooth grinding
• Restorative dental work to correct damage to teeth
• Repairs of existing dental work causing imbalance and misalignment of your bite
