TMJ / Neuromuscular Dentistry
Many individuals do not realize that muscles play an important role in
dentistry. The science of Neuromuscular Dentistry (NMD) evaluates and treats
your overall oral health by considering how your muscles, teeth and joints all
work together. NMD techniques are used to treat individuals that suffer from
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMJ/TMD) and assist in a return to health, comfort
and proper esthetics.

If you answered yes to some of the above symptoms, we may be able to help.
The bite can be a factor in many types of pain or functional problems because of
the inter-relationship of the overall musculoskeletal system. A comprehensive
examination may reveal the cause of the problems and point us toward a solution.
Here at Gillespie Dentistry we have the most up-to-date computer
instrumentation that allows us to measure and study the pattern of the jaw
opening and closing through its full range of motion, monitor muscle activity
and determine the proper position of the jaw.
Applying these advanced technologies may change your life for the better!
