Many individuals do not realize that muscles play an important role in dentistry.

Neuromuscular dentistry is evaluation/diagnosis, and healing of the relationship between teeth, jaw joints, jaw posture, head muscles, neck muscles, back muscles, head posture, and body posture. These all impact your bite (occlusion), and could cause a variety of symptoms affecting your long term health & well being . A problem bite can occur: due to accidents, missing, worn down, and misaligned teeth.

What Is Neuromuscular Dentistry?

As dentists go into practice, it is not uncommon to hear them say that they have done procedures "by the book" and yet have less than satisfactory results.

The goal of a Neuromuscular Dentist in Boulder, like Dr. Adler, is to find the optimum position of the jaw where the muscles are relaxed and at rest. This is a three dimensional solution. Dr. Adler relaxes the muscles controlling jaw position to establish a true physiological rest position, upon which treatment considerations are based.  

Boulder TMJ and TMD dentist, Dr. Adler, can then realign your bite; resolving your TMJ/TMD symptoms.

To put it simply: Adler Dentistry's neuromuscular treatment places the jaw into its optimal position, relieving the symptoms associated with TMJ/TMD. The Adler TMJ Dentistry procedure uses the high technology Myotronics tm system; with it Dr. Adler relaxes all the involved muscles, and then measures the optimal jaw posture. Using the appropriate dental appliance/therapy, he "preserves" that jaw posture creating a pain free jaw/muscle/teeth relationship with smooth function.

In summary, Neuromuscular (TMJ) dentistry is the science of occlusion encompassing not only the teeth, but the objective evaluation of the status and function of the jaw muscles and joints - before, during and after treatment - to achieve the optimal result.

Neuromuscular Dentists commonly report that by taking muscle and joint status into consideration aids them in optimizing treatment, minimizing the times that they are "surprised" by less than ideal outcomes, and gives them the added insight needed to treat complex cases. 

While traditional dentistry evaluates primarily the teeth, bones, and gums; neuromuscular dentistry works with the hard tissues and the soft tissues, muscles and nerves. Neuromuscular dentists, like Dr. Adler understand this is a complex relationship. To create a harmonious relationship, neuromuscular dentists understand the necessity for including with the teeth: the power source (muscles) and the controls (nerves) which create the movement, pressures, and function of the mouth.

An improper bite (malocclusion) is relatively easy to correct. Treatment options include adjusting the bite, orthotics, orthodontics, or restoring the teeth to their correct positions.

Unresolved Chronic Headaches? Doctors Giving Up?... Dr. Adler May Have the Solution!!!

Did you know that dental occlusion (your bite) is sometimes the cause of frequent headaches? If your teeth have been ground down over the years or lost due to accident or dental disease, your jaw is not able to settle into a naturally relaxed position. The muscles of the temple area of the forehead, are muscles that play an important part in the posturing and closing of the jaw. If your bite is not right it can lead to abnormal tension in these muscles- one of the several possible causes of tension type headaches. If the bite is not corrected, the muscles may remain tnese for extended periods of time. The contracted muscle gets no rest, and poor circulation in that muscle develops, resulting in PAIN (headache). This causes tension in the muscles in the jaw, and can lead to a variety of pain that you may have already grown accustomed to living with. By restoring your dental occlusion, the jaw can be returned to the position that nature intended, and the headache pain goes away!

If you suffer headaches with some regularity, or perhaps have had headaches for a long time, with no apparent relief: it would be wise to discuss them with the TMJ dentist in Boulder, Dr. Adler.

How Long Have You Suffered Ringing in Your Ears?... Adler Dentistry Could Help!

Why live with that sound inside your head? Discover the Benefits that Adler Dentistry brings to Your Quality of Life.

Did you know that dental occlusion (your bite) is sometimes the cause of tinnitus (ringing in your ears)? If your teeth have been ground down over the years or lost due to accident or dental disease, your jaw is not able to settle into a naturally relaxed position. This causes tension in the muscles and nerves in the jaw, and can lead to a variety of pain that you may have already grown accustomed to living with. By restoring your dental occlusion, the jaw can be returned to the position that nature intended, and the ringing goes away!

Tinnitus and TMJ Symptom Sharing

It is not unusual for the patient with TMJ/TMD to complain of ringing in their ears (tinnitus), or vertigo. This symptom is commonly misdiagnosed and often goes untreated or is treated ineffectively. In many cases ringing in the ears is one of the results of having a strained bite in which the jaw is not aligned. The jaw area of the face is a complex network of muscles and nerves, and when the bite is misaligned muscles and nerves throughout the head, including the ears, can be affected, whenever the jaw-closing muscles are clenched.. The reason is that the same nerve (the trigeminal) feeds all of the muscles of mastication as well as two important ear muscles.

If Dr. Adler determines cause of your tinnitus to be an unstable or misaligned bite, he solves the problem by stabilizing and realigning the bite so that the entire jaw area works together without pain. Your bite will be back to its normal position, relieving the ringing in your ears that was caused by the misaligned bite.

Is Your Jaw/Mouth Sore When You Wake Up? Are Your Teeth Wearing Away?… Your Mouth Could Be “At War”!... the “Muscle/Tooth War”!!!

Whose winning your teeth or your muscles?

IF you suffer from symptoms caused by teeth grinding or clenching, Adler Neuromuscular Dentistry can put an end to your pain!

• END the Tooth/Muscle War! Let Dr. Adler evaluate & create a plan to restore balance in your mouth
• Traditional dentistry: your natural occlusion, or bite, as the best position for your jaw.
• Neuromuscular dentistry: the ideal position for your jaw.
• Almost no one realizes they have a bad bite or that they are grinding.
• adults don't make noise grinding, like children do
• Bruxing is the dental name for this abnormal activity of grinding.
• Excessive tooth wear can deform the smile or shorten the teeth to the point the person looks like they have a denture.
• Adler Dentistry Team, includes the muscles, nerves, and supporting structures of the mouth during their comprehensive evaluation.
• The Adler Technology: measures very accurately, the most comfortable position for muscles, teeth and jaw.
• Adler Dentistry will achieve the best comfort and health by adjusting your jaw to its perfect resting position.

If the teeth don't come together in an optimal bite, the result is sub-conscious clenching or grinding of the teeth. This causes pain in the muscles of the head, face and neck.

Bruxing is a most destructive habit. The joints, muscles, and teeth are at war!. The teeth become worn and can be cracked or will shift from the forces of bruxing. The enamel can flake off at the gum line causing notching on the teeth receiving the most excessive forces.

Adler Dentistry's Neuromuscular treatment focuses on creating harmony between the joints, the muscles and the teeth.

Excessive Snoring?... Does Someone in Your Household “Rattle the Rafters” with Seemingly Incurable Snoring? Or Perhaps You Suffer Sleep Apnea ?...Discover the Benefits that Adler Dentistry May Bring to Your Quality of Life.

Often snoring is dismissed as simply an annoyance but it can be a sign of a very serious condition known as obstructive sleep apnea known to cause or contribute to these conditions:

• Irritability
• High blood pressure
• Heart attacks or irregular heart beats
• Impotence
• Morning headaches
• Dry mouth
• Acid reflux
• Decreased concentration
• Heartburn
• Depression
• Decreased libido
• Sleepiness during the day
• Stroke
• Divorce!

Snoring is caused by a blocked airway. The tongue can fall backward during sleep and this can fully or partially block the airway. The body struggles to obtain air and this causes the vibration we call snoring.

Sleep apnea sufferers will often snore in between episodes of airway interruption.

Apnea episodes can occur from 30 to 60 times per night. People to feel exhausted when they wake up, they've spent the night fighting for air, they feel tired, headachy and irritable the next day.

If your teeth have been ground down over the years or lost due to accident or dental disease, your jaw is not able to settle into a naturally relaxed position.

This causes tension in the muscles in the jaw, and can lead to disturbing sleep patterns including loud excessive snoring, and sleep apnea.

Restoring your bite, the jaw can be returned to the position that nature intended, and a full nights sleep the new reality

Patients who have experienced “chronic excessive” snoring, sleep apnea symptoms, and have sought treatment from physicians, chiropractors and neurologists to finally find real relief through Neuromuscular Dentistry.

Neuromuscular Dentistry corrects the bite, and realigns the jaw.

If you have unresolved sleep disorders ask Dr. Adler.
