Do you struggle with symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, and sore facial muscles? If so, you might have TMJ disorder (TMD), a condition that afflicts the jaw joints and can cause a wide range of issues. How can you find relief and improve your oral and overall health? While there are several different ways to approach treatment, BioRejuvenation Dentistry is among the most elegant and effective. What exactly is BioRejuvenation Dentistry, and how might it benefit you? This blog post explains.
An Introduction to BioRejuvenation Dentistry
BioRejuvenation Dentistry is a holistic approach to oral care that seeks to address the root cause of dental problems, rather than simply manage symptoms. It evaluates the teeth, jaws, upper airway, and related structures as a single system that should work in harmony. It also acknowledges the fact that occlusion (your bite) can play a large role in oral health and overall wellness. BioRejuvenation Dentistry aims to restore balance and optimal function to these entities, thereby resulting in improved oral function and a lower risk of oral and overall health problems.
How Does BioRejuvenation Dentistry Work?
BioRejuvenation Dentistry is tailored for each unique patient, but here is a general overview of how it works:
- During an initial consultation, a qualified dentist learns about your oral health and assesses the mechanics of your bite.
- A custom orthotic splint may be made to stabilize your jaw joint and help to relieve symptoms of TMJ disorder, such as sore muscles, teeth grinding, headaches, and more.
- Additional treatment may be needed to rehabilitate your bite and ensure that your mouth and related systems are functioning optimally. For example, some patients need orthodontic treatment, new crowns, or minor adjustments to the shape of their teeth.
- During follow-up appointments, your dental team will continue to monitor your bite and make any adjustments to your treatment plan as necessary.
Benefits of BioRejuvenation Dentistry
Some potential benefits of BioRejuvenation Dentistry include:
- It may end the pain and other symptoms associated with TMJ disorder.
- Restorations can renew the natural beauty of your smile.
- By addressing the underlying cause of many dental problems, it can reduce your risk of future issues.
- It aims to be as conservative and minimally invasive as possible.
