A balanced bite is essential to both comfort and health. When the teeth, jaw, and muscles fall out of alignment, everyday actions like chewing or speaking can cause discomfort and strain. Neuromuscular dentistry focuses on restoring proper alignment between these systems, easing tension, and improving long-term stability.

At DiQuattro Advanced Dentistry, patients throughout Scottsdale and Phoenix receive advanced neuromuscular dentistry care as part of our complete dental services. Dr. Ryan DiQuattro blends precise diagnostics with a deep understanding of facial balance to relieve jaw pain, improve bite function, and create harmony between form and function.

What Is Neuromuscular Dentistry?

Neuromuscular dentistry looks at how the teeth, muscles, and joints interact. Even a small imbalance can lead to headaches, jaw stiffness, and worn teeth. By studying how these elements work together, Dr. DiQuattro identifies the exact cause of discomfort and designs a personalized plan to restore comfort and alignment.

Common Neuromuscular Treatments

Each patient’s needs are unique, and treatment may include one or more of the following specialized procedures to reestablish bite balance and jaw health.

TMJ/TMD therapy focuses on relieving tension, reducing inflammation, and restoring smooth movement of the jaw. Common symptoms—like clicking, stiffness, and facial pain—can often be resolved through a blend of splint therapy, bite adjustments, or restorative care.

For patients with structural or alignment challenges, oral and maxillofacial surgery can reposition the jaw or correct underlying issues. This treatment is also valuable when preparing for full mouth rehabilitation or dental implants.

A sinus lift adds bone to the upper jaw to strengthen support for dental implants. The procedure helps create a stable foundation for restoration and promotes healthier, more functional alignment overall.

Signs You May Benefit from Neuromuscular Care

Headaches or migraines that start near the temples or jaw
Clicking or popping when opening your mouth
Soreness or stiffness in the jaw, face, or neck
Uneven tooth wear or teeth that feel sensitive when chewing
A bite that feels off or uncomfortable

Addressing these signs early can prevent chronic discomfort and protect your teeth from long-term damage.

How Neuromuscular Dentistry Restores Balance

Dr. DiQuattro uses advanced imaging and bite analysis to measure jaw position, muscle movement, and alignment. With this data, he can design an individualized treatment plan that may include restorative adjustments, orthodontic therapy, or custom bite appliances.

As balance is restored, patients often notice broader improvements—better sleep, easier chewing, reduced tension, and an overall sense of ease in daily life.
