Did you know that the cause of your Chronic head and neck pain could be related to your jaw posture?

Your body understands that in order to survive your food has to be mashed properly The jaw and the muscles will do whatever is necessary to make sure your teeth are doing that, even if the jaw has to move sideways to a poor position. The rest of the muscles team up with the muscles of mastication and adapt to this posture.

Our body is so smart it will develop muscle memory to this pathological posture, creating chronic pain in the long run.

Classic symptoms include: Tension headaches, Tooth grinding, Clenching, Migraine Headaches, back pain, shoulder pain, TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder).

The typical solution we have learned to go to is painkillers or muscle relaxants, when in reality it could be treated!!

At Upland Lighthouse Dentistry we use an Orthotic appliance called Myoaligner®, an innovative solution cleared by FDA, for treatment of Migraine Headaches, TMJD (Temporo Mandibular Joint Disorders), Tension Headaches, Tooth Grinding, Clenching and protection of teeth against grinding.

This device will place the jaw in the right physiological position and the rest of the strained muscles that were causing pain will fall into a place of balance. This not only gets rid of the chronic pain but increases your muscle performance since your muscles are not busy compensating for a pathological posture.

With Myoaligners you don’t have to worry about compromising your esthetics; This Orthotic appliance is so cosmetic that people won’t even know you are wearing it, but your relaxed muscles will!!!

Here at Upland Lighthouse Dentistry we want to help people be free from Chronic Pain. Make an appointment now to book an in person consultation.
