Treatment for chronic headaches and migraines in Brisbane

Neuromuscular Treatment

TMD or temporomandibular joint disorder is a condition that can cause you chronic and persistent headache. It can also cause discomfort when you open or close your mouth, like when you are chewing, and it can also lead to depression.

Fortunately for you, this condition is treatable and here at Divine Smiles, we have the necessary knowledge and equipments to diagnose and treat TMD.

TMD or TMJ disorder is mainly caused by misaligned jaw. This condition may be caused by trauma, poor dental work, and it may even be caused by teeth grinding or bruxism. At Divine Smiles, we provide Orthotic Therapy to gently align the jaw. In this treatment, we will have you wear a removable dental appliance that will manipulate the position of your jaw. This dental appliance is custom made according to your condition or to the position of your jaw.

We can determine the ideal jaw position for you through a series of diagnosis. By using equipments, such as the K7 Evaluation System, we will analyse your bite, which will give us the necessary information about your jaw. This diagnostic system will tell us how your jaw moves, and how the muscles in it behave.

With this information, we can accurately determine the ideal jaw position for you and continue on with the treatment.

There are basically 4 steps to be administered by our qualified Neuromuscular Dentist to remove the painful symptoms associated with TMD forever.

First, we will use the K7 Evaluation System to assess your bite. After getting the required information about how your jaw works, the next step is to recover your ideal bite through computer models and impressions. After that, the third step is to record your ideal bite. And finally, we can now achieve your ideal bite through Orthotic Therapy.

At Divine Smiles, we work hard not just to make your smile more beautiful, but we also work hard to treat various dental disorders, such as TMJ. So, if you think that you have TMJ disorder, we highly recommend that you visit our clinic. We have the qualified dentists, the proper equipments, and the necessary treatments to get rid of TMJ disorder symptoms forever.
