Hi, this is Dr. Vicki from Smile Design Studio. People often ask me, why do people suffer from TMJ? Well, basically the TM joints are controlled by the bite in a way. If you have a look where our bite fits, is where those muscles have to sit and where those muscles sit the jaw joints have to sit as well. Now if the teeth of the bite was offset, for example, if the bite was a little bit crooked and it then was rotated, and the jaw was slightly rotated one way because the teeth fit that way, then what it would do it would cause an uneven muscle tension between this side and this side. As a jaw joints rotate around or say if the teeth were not level horizontally and they were on a cant and you noticed some people have crooked smiles. They have a cant. It would also cause an uneven muscle tension on both sides. What this then results in is the muscles have to work one side more than the other to keep the body upright or what also happens is when you've got an uneven muscle tension on both sides of the head. It causes the head to tilt and when the head tilts then we compensate by tilting our shoulders the other way to keep us upright. As a result, it curves. The whole spine and it can cause symptoms all the way down the back. So a lot of people who have TMJ in the wrong place caused by a bad bite will also then have scoliosis of the neck and neck problems. And then they can suffer headaches as well. Now if the jaw joints are too far back i.e. if the bite is more retrusive and it makes the jaw sit further back than it really wants to. It puts pressure on the ears. So it can then cause ear symptoms and vertigo as well. So these are the reasons why a bite can then cause not so much joint problems sometimes it causes clicking but then all of the symptoms that are associated with TMJ syndrome. And that's why when we look at helping people with long term, who suffer from headaches neck pain, ear problems, vertigo you would often have to look at the position of the jaw as well. So this is what we do with neuromuscular dentistry. If you would like to learn more about neuromuscular dentistry and how we can help you. Please give us a call.
