Every Smile Deserves the Best
Are you struggling with chronic jaw pain, headaches, teeth grinding (bruxism), or TMJ dysfunction? These conditions can significantly impact your quality of life, leading to discomfort, disrupted sleep, and long-term dental complications.
At Melbourne Street Dental Studio, we specialize in neuromuscular dentistry, offering comprehensive, non-invasive solutions to restore jaw function, relieve pain, and protect your teeth.
What is TMJ Disorder (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction)?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull, enabling essential functions like chewing and speaking. When this joint is inflamed, misaligned, or overworked, it can cause Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD), leading to:
- Jaw pain, clicking, or locking
- Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth
- Tension headaches and migraines
- Ear pain or fullness
- Facial muscle fatigue
TMJ issues may result from stress, bite misalignment, jaw injuries, arthritis, or chronic bruxism. Without treatment, symptoms can worsen over time, affecting both oral health and overall well-being.
What is Bruxism (Teeth Grinding) & How Does It Affect Your Health?
Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, often occurring during sleep. This condition can lead to:
- Worn-down, cracked, or broken teeth
- Tooth sensitivity & enamel erosion
- Jaw pain, muscle fatigue, and stiffness
- Frequent headaches and migraines
- Damage to dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers, implants)
If left untreated, bruxism can lead to severe tooth damage, TMJ pain, and even sleep disturbances.
Neuromuscular Dentistry: Restoring Balance & Function
Your oral health isn’t just about your teeth—your bite, jaw joints, and muscles all play a crucial role. If your bite is misaligned, your jaw muscles overwork to compensate, leading to pain and dysfunction.
At Melbourne Street Dental Studio, we take a neuromuscular approach, ensuring that your bite, jaw position, and muscle function are harmonized for optimal health and comfort.
How We Diagnose & Treat Jaw Disorders
We use state-of-the-art diagnostic technology to assess your bite, jaw function, and muscle activity, including:
- Comprehensive bite analysis & digital imaging (CBCT Scan)
- Computerized muscle & jaw joint evaluation (K7 system)
- Postural and airway assessments
Once we identify the root cause of your jaw pain or bite dysfunction, we tailor a treatment plan to align your bite, relieve pain, and improve jaw function.
Muscle Relaxant Injections for TMJ & Bruxism
One of the most effective non-surgical treatments for TMJ and bruxism is muscle relaxant injections. These injections:
- Relax overactive jaw muscles to prevent grinding & clenching
- Reduce jaw pain, tension headaches, & migraines
- Improve jaw mobility & function
- Protect teeth from excessive wear & fractures
- Provide quick relief with minimal downtime
Many patients experience significant pain relief within 1-2 weeks, with results lasting 3-6 months.
When is Neuromuscular Dentistry Used?
Neuromuscular dentistry can enhance your smile and overall health. It is applied in treatments such as:
- Full mouth reconstruction
- Denture & implant-supported restorations (All-on-4/6 implants)
- Sleep apnea & airway disorders
Our Approach:
- Myomonitor or TENS therapy to relax jaw muscles
- Bite appliances & orthotics to stabilize the jaw
- Precision digital tracking of jaw movement
By aligning your bite and optimizing jaw function, we help eliminate chronic pain, headaches, and muscle fatigue while improving your oral health and facial aesthetics.
