Occlusion

04 — Work

Occlusion

Headache, joint noise, a worn smile — often one bite.

What it is

Gneuromuscular dentistry treats the jaw as a neuromuscular organ, not a pair of rows. Dr. Tetri trained with Occlusion Connections. Diagnostics here include computerized mandibular scanning, electromyography, and TENS to deprogram muscles that have been bracing for years. The bite we restore is the one the muscles will hold without strain. Porcelain then follows that position — not the reverse.

For

  • 01

    Migraines, temple pain, or a joint that clicks.

  • 02

    Teeth that chip and crowns that keep fracturing.

  • 03

    Snoring tied to a collapsed vertical dimension.

  1. 01 — Listen to the joint

    CMS, EMG, and TENS. We record where the jaw wants to be when the muscle is quiet.

  2. 02 — A therapeutic bite

    An orthotic or a provisional reconstruction lets the joint settle before anything is final.

  3. 03 — The face returns

    Length in the lower third. Less clench. Often, the headache ends because the cause did.

A pretty smile on a fighting joint is a short story.
