Do you suffer from jaw pain, headaches, and premature wear and tear on your teeth? Such issues are serious and can interfere with your quality of life. Fortunately, treatments are available that may be able to help. In fact, you might be a candidate for BioRejuvenation Dentistry. Just what is this oral health service, and how might it benefit you? Read this brief introduction to BioRejuvenation Dentistry to find out.
What Is BioRejuvenation Dentistry?
BioRejuvenation Dentistry is a full-mouth rehabilitation treatment. It has a strong focus on realigning a bad bite and stabilizing the jaw joint (called the TMJ). That is important because many issues, including teeth grinding, jaw pain, enamel damage, headaches, and more can be traced back to a lower jaw that is resting in the wrong position.
Patients who undergo BioRejuvenation Dentistry often experience a number of benefits, including:
- Reduced wear and tear on the tooth enamel
- Enhanced aesthetics of their face and smile
- Less frequent headaches
- A reduction in jaw pain
- A lower risk of future oral health problems
It is important that you do not confuse BioRejuvenation Dentistry with cosmetic dentistry. Both types of care can improve the appearance of your smile, but their primary objectives are different. BioRejuvenation aims to provide long-term improvements for your oral health, whereas cosmetic dentistry’s biggest benefit is that it can help your teeth to reach their aesthetic potential.
The BioRejuvenation Treatment Process
Here is an overview of how the BioRejuvenation Dentistry treatment process usually works:
- Consultation. Your dentist will examine your bite and your teeth to determine if BioRejuvenation is right for you. They will also answer all of your questions about the road ahead.
- TMJ physical therapy. This involves the use of a custom oral appliance, called a C2O, that aims to stabilize the jaw joint.
- Post therapy consultation. Your dentist will determine your next steps, which might involve orthodontic treatments, crowns, bridges, or other restorative services. In rare cases, jaw surgery is necessary.
- Restorative care. Either with the help of specialists or your general dentist, you will undergo the recommended restorative services.
- Maintenance. At your regular checkups, your dentist will monitor your bite and make adjustments as necessary.
Depending on the specifics of your treatment plan, your BioRejuvenation process may take several months from beginning to end.
