Diagnosis & Treatment

Dr.Ashwin uses the latest advancements in dentistry to treat TMJ disorders.

Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR):

This is a non-invasive method guided by digital bite scans. EMG and jaw joint assessment are linked to evaluate dynamic bite forces.

Airway (breath) assessments, custom orthotics, teeth alignment correction, TENS therapy etc. are also employed as needed.

The goal is to assess teeth contacts linked with chewing muscles, airway and jaw movement. Unbalanced teeth contacts are a potent cause for painful neck and chewing muscles, clicking jaw joints, facial pain, poor sleep etc.

By identifying these offending tooth contacts, necessary corrections can be made to attain sustained pain relief and good sleep.

All this without the need for medication.
