Neuromuscular dentistry (also called physiologic dentistry) goes beyond traditional dental care by focusing on the complex relationship between the teeth, jaw joints (TMJ), and facial muscles. It’s a highly specialized approach used to diagnose and treat chronic jaw pain, headaches, bite misalignment, and TMJ disorders.

At Qurum Medical Center, Dr Camille, a skilled dentist in Muscat, uses neuromuscular dentistry to help patients find relief from discomfort and improve overall function and jaw stability.

• Jaw clicking, popping, or locking
• Facial, neck, or shoulder pain
• Bruxism (teeth grinding)
• Misaligned bite or jaw

• Difficulty chewing or opening the mouth fully
• TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders
• Chronic headaches or migraines

🔍 How Does It Work?

Neuromuscular dentistry uses technology to measure the position and movement of the jaw, muscles, and joints. Based on these findings, Dr Camille can realign the bite and restore balance through treatments like:

• Bite adjustments
• Orthotic appliances (custom jaw splints)
• Dental restorations
• Muscle relaxation therapies
• Occlusal (bite) rehabilitation

By restoring harmony between the teeth, muscles, and joints, patients often experience reduced pain, better function, and even improvements in posture and sleep.
