The way that your upper and lower teeth come together ( dental occlusion). If your teeth do not fit together properly, the muscles and joints work to get them together. A misaligned bite often leads to muscles that are overworked when they should be relaxed, leading to a variety of painful conditions.
The Neuromuscular dentist considers the entire system that controls the positioning and function of your jaws to establish a jaw position based on the harmonious relationship of the three main factors affecting occlusion- the teeth, muscles and joints. The resulting jaw position is called the neuromuscular bite.
While headaches are typically treated by your doctor, an incorrect occlusion (bite) may play a significant role in certain types of headaches as well as other head and neck pain.
