Neuromuscular Dentistry
Neuromuscular is a term used to describe the nerves (neuro) and muscles (muscular) involved in the oral system. Dentistry, of course, refers to teeth. So neuromuscular dentistry is the study of the entire mouth system and treatment that restores balance and harmony to the system.
Dr. Harvey studied neuromuscular dentistry and aesthetic (cosmetic) dentistry at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. He studied under leading neuromuscular dentists Dr. Brock Rondeau, Jay Gerber, and Pete Dawson, so Dr. Harvey understands how your teeth, jaw joints, and occlusion work together for whole-mouth harmony. The oral system should function in total balance, with each tooth and both jaw joints in the correct position. Even minor problems can throw off the balance and lead to headaches, migraines, earaches, bruxism, and other nagging symptoms.
The NTI-tss Mouthguard
NTI is a clear plastic device that fits over the top two front teeth. Wear the device while you sleep at night, and you will not clench or grind your teeth. In a few days or weeks, your clenching reflex may subside. NTI is a conservative, non-invasive therapy, so you can wear it as long as needed without side effects.
With NTI, many patients report significant relief overnight; others usually within a few weeks. This device may eliminate the need for prescription and over-the-counter pain medications that you take for morning headaches, sore neck and jaw, and related pain.
