Advanced TMJ Technology

CBCT – Cone-Beam Computed Tomography

Cone beam computed tomography gives us detailed images of your temporomandibular joints. The high-resolution, 3D images let us see even tiny changes to your bone structure so we can identify abnormal wear and damage as soon as it begins–before it causes serious damage to your joints.

T-Scan

T-Scan lets us measure the bite forces at every point as your teeth come together when biting or chewing. This helps us understand the imbalances in your bite that can cause damage to your teeth, wear of your jaw joints, and tension in your muscles.

We use the T-Scan to help us in diagnosing and treating TMJ disorder.

Electromyography

This technique lets us measure the activity and tension level in your muscles. This gives us a full picture of imbalance and dysfunction that might underlie your TMJ. It helps us ensure that treatment eliminates painful tension in the muscles of your jaw, head, and neck.

TENS – Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is like a massage. It stimulates your jaw muscles to flex and stretch in ways that release and relieve tension and pain. It can also “reset” your muscles, eliminating accommodating habits that might be destructive and painful. This makes it an effective diagnostic tool as well as a TMJ treatment depending on the severity of your TMJ disorder.
