TMJ/TMD, Migraines, and Headaches

As your PerfectBite Doctor, we are the only health care professionals who can effectively treat the root cause of your TMJ/TMD, migraines, and headaches.

Most all patients have at least one thing in common: treatable dysfunction in their temporal mandibular joint and/or their dental foundation,m and we help patients like you every single day.

We treat the root of your problem:

• Migraines
• Headaches
• TMJ/TMD

You know the signs and symptoms:

• Jaw, tooth, face, neck and/or shoulder pain
• clicking or popping of the jaw and/or grinding of the teeth
• Pain around or ringing and fullness in ears
• Migraines, headaches, sinus pressure, and lack of draining
• Loss of sleep, snoring, apneas, and constant tiredness

You feel the costly toll:

• Stress, anxiety, depression, and a sense of hopelessness
• Family life, relationships, careers, hobbies, and goals suffer
• People around you don't understand and misjudge you
• You spend time and money seeking a lasting solution

You find only temporary solutions:

• Therapiests, health care practicioners, psycologists, and even other dentists treat symptoms but not the root causes
• You pay for expensive therapy or surgery but pain returns
• Prescriptions may help mask pain but can damage your body

Now... finally, there is a lasting solution:

Your First Visit:

• We will guide you through our patient diagnostic questionnaire and history, perform a painless 3-D digital bite analysis to diagnose bite imbalance, and perform other simple tests in a new patient exam.
• The Doctor will be able to show you where your problem areas are, using 3-D and 2-D images, movies, panoramic x-rays, or other exam results.
• The Doctor will then discuss treatment and therapy options personalized to you, so you can experience lasting results fast.
• Depending on your appointment length, you may be able to begin your first treatments or therapies that same day.

• Many patients notice immediate results immediately after their first few visit or two.

Follow-Up Visits:

• Our staff will consistently monitor your progress and perform therapies, as needed, in order to further the healing process. Most patients report immediate results from these therapy modalities.
• We will address any imbalance between the muscles and joints of the jaw, head, and neck using Neuromuscular and Biofeedback therapies like: Ultrasound, Massage, Microcurrent, and Low Level Laser among others.
• We will also treat any imbalance in your bite (called occlusion) by realigning how the teeth come together. Treatments may include dental procedures and/or custom mouth guards, splints, or other simple appliances that can help to adjust your bite.
• Using precision 3-D digital imaging technology, we are able to remove the guesswork out of treatment by scientifically measuring your improvement every step of the way.
• As we help restore health and balance to your temporal mandibular joint and dental foundation, you will be able to reclaim your life, as pain is reduced and eliminated.

On the Road to Full Recovery

"For the past decade, I have been suffering multiple health issues related to my condition. I have had to deal with chronic pain in my jaw, neck, head and shoulders as well as daily muscular tension headaches and severe migraine headaches, often times being hospitalized...

I have seen multiple specialists in Neurology, including physicians at the prestigious Mayo Clinic and the Diamond Headache Center who prescribed medications... but that mostly aggravated my headaches by causeing rebound headaches or other negative side effects. None of the medications could alleviate my pain. I have been to several orthodontists who have fitted me with different kinds of bite guards and have even tried braces to reposition my teeth without positive results. I would continue to grind on the mouth guards, and the braces ruined my teeth alignment, having to put on a full set of crowns, costing $16,000. I considered myself a cripple, unable to be a mother or wife, as I constantly stayed in bed suffering with my headaches.

Finally, I discovered my PerfectBite Doctor, a dentist who could treat me. I knew the comprehensive treatment would help me... The approach of reducing the muscular tension in my body through ultrasound, massage, and alpha-stimulation relieved the severity of my headaches immediately. Since starting treatment, I have only had 3 minor headaches in four weeks!!! Considering I am accustomed to daily headaches, I would say that I am on the road to a full recovery...

I would recommend the PerfectBite Doctor's expertise to any person suffering with a TMJ or migraine condition."
