advanced yet simplified help for jaw & bite problems
For many people the way their teeth fit together causes stress on the
jaw muscles and joints. Many people grind or clench their teeth. Regardless
of the reason, a poor bite and frequent grinding and/or clenching can
cause serious damage and pain to teeth, jawbone and the muscles and joints
controlling the jaw. Many people suffer from headaches, head and neck
muscle pain as well as ear pain, including popping and clicking noises
near the ear when they open or close the mouth. Often it is due to a
poor bite, clenching or grinding of the teeth.
Whether the problem is due to a poor bite or frequent grinding or clenching,
the jaw muscles never get a chance to rest. They are overworked, fatigued
and go into spasm. Some people can wear their teeth right down to the
gum line, some will experience loose teeth, and some will have pain in
or near the ear and possible radiating over the head and neck. There
are treatments and appliances that can correct bite problems and provide
rest for the muscles and thus alleviate all the above symptoms. Call
