Through improved technology we are now able to gently and naturally bring the head, neck, jaw, and bite into alignment without the use of drugs. The head literally teeters on top of the cervical spine with the center of gravity forward to the spine. It is tethered to the body by the muscles of the joint systems. Functional and resting head posture is dependent upon the proper tension and balance in these muscles. It follows then that jaw movements must be intimately associated. Movement of the jaw is not only related to the muscles of mastication and chewing, but also to the head and neck posture. Head posture, neck posture and jaw movement are therefore all intimately related, and a change in one necessarily affects the others.
Because of this dynamic relationship between head and neck posture, jaw position, and dental occlusion and its ultimate unbalance (present in TMJ dysfunction, headache, and head and neck related discomfort), it becomes necessary to provide appropriate diagnosis and treatment for optimum results.
Providing patients with relief from the adverse effects of the conditions mentioned above has now become the primary focus of the PerfectBite Doctor Program.
Our goal as your PerfectBite Doctor is to balance the muscles and joints of the jaw, head and neck. This also includes balancing the bite and maintaining proper home care so that you can live a pain free life.
