How are the jaw muscles relaxed and proper jaw position determined?
Myotronics™ is a computerized process that helps determine the proper relationship between the upper and lower teeth. During this phase of treatment, the jaw muscles are relaxed by “tensing,” a technique, often used by physical therapists to relax muscle spasms. Muscle tension is monitored on a computer via special sensors that read muscle impulses to determine when the muscles are fully relaxed. This two-to-three hour process determines which individual teeth should be restored. When your teeth are in the correct bite position, the muscles and soft tissue around the head and neck remain relaxed.
