How do computerized diagnostics help in treating TMJ dysfunction or aid with smile enhancements and mouth rejuvenations?
Traditional methodologies often offer little more than educated guesses–and once a person’s bite is skewed, each successive dental visit can draw the patient further from optimal functionality. Computerized diagnostics, on the other hand, allow us to accurately study jaw movements and to correlate jaw position to muscle activity with electromyography (a process similar to the use of an EKG to monitor the activity of the heart.) This is the objective information we need to make treatment decisions.
