Neuromuscular
dentistry gives
you a better bite.
Your bite is central to your general health and wellbeing. In fact, an imperfect bite can be the cause of persistent head, neck, jaw and facial pain as well as dizziness and ringing in the ears.
Adjusting your jaw to its ideal position can lead to life changing results.
Adjusting your bite can help
you live your life pain free.
Neuromuscular dentistry is concerned with the muscles and joints of the jaw, and how they work together to influence your bite. Establishing your ideal jaw posture and adjusting your bite can make a world of difference to your health, eliminate associated pain and tension and aide digestion via your improved ability to bite and chew food.
First, we create an orthotic appliance especially for you. Gradually, over the course of 2-3 months, your jaw will move into its ideal position. If you find this has improved or solved your condition, you can choose to have your bite permanently maintained in this position.

Do you grind your teeth?
Let us help you protect your smile.
Grinding and clenching your teeth (known as bruxism) is a classic reaction to stress. It often occurs while you sleep, and you might even be unaware you are doing it.
Bruxism can be a problem for both children and adults, and can gradually chip, wear down and crack teeth or fillings and cause a sore jaw, headaches and even hearing problems.
Try to de-stress with yoga, facial massage and warm baths. Contact us to have a custom-fitted bite guard (also known as an occlusal splint) made to wear at night. It will stop you damaging your teeth and you’ll feel a whole lot better when you wake up in the morning.
Sleep better. Live better.
Snoring and sleep apnoea will not only ruin your sleep and your partner’s sleep but put you in a brain fog and harm your teeth too.
The mandibular advancement device is an anti-snoring appliance which moves the tongue and lower jaw forward to open the airway when sleeping. It’s comfortable, lightweight, effective and easy to travel with. The Australian Dental Association says “95% of people will have an improvement in their snoring when using an oral appliance”. It’s also a viable option to CPAP treatment.

A sports mouthguard can save your smile.
Protective mouthguards prevent injuries to your teeth, mouth and jaw and are recommended for anyone who plays contact sports. Your mouthguard will be custom made by your dentist to fit precisely to your teeth – so it won’t move no matter how intense your activity.
