 Neuromuscular
dentistry represents an exciting development in dentistry. In
addition to traditional dentistry, Dr. Martin Fraschetti is
a neuromuscular dentist dedicated to utilizing the latest technologies
to treat a variety of disorders. His goal is to maximize your
comfort during dental treatment and help alleviate TMJ symptoms
such as headaches, neck and shoulder pain, jaw pain, clicking
or popping in the jaw and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).Many
of these symptoms may be misdiagnosed or dismissed as having
no physiological cause.
The first goal of neuromuscular dentistry is to find the "correct"
jaw position where muscles are relaxed and at rest. This is
a three-dimensional position in space and is often unrelated
to the position of the teeth. We utilize a number of sophisticated
instruments in our practice to find the position where the jaws,
teeth, and muscles operate in harmony.
 Once
the lower jaw is comfortable, an orthotic (appliance) is created
to allow the jaw to close to this ideal position. This is not
to be confused with a "bite guard". In this way, pain
trigger points will go away, and the joint and muscles will
heal. This orthotic appliance is utilized for a few months to
stabilize the bite and insure that all symptoms are gone.
At this point a decision is made for permanent stability, corrective
orthodontics, crowns, or both.
Dr. Fraschetti has successfully treated patients from across
North America, usually when they have had no relief from other
treatment. Give us a call at 586.773.1212

NON-SURGICAL
GUM TREATMENT
(Soft Tissue Management)
|
This
is NOT a substitute for gum surgery.
We have concentrated our efforts on infection control in treatment
of periodontal (gum) diseases. When proper measures are employed
to eliminate the bacteria surrounding the tissues and roots
of the teeth, patients can enjoy long-term recovery from destructive
periodonal diseases. Periodontal infections can be associated
with serious side effects, including bad breath (halitosis),
loss of teeth, and systemic complications such as increasing
the risk of stroke and premature low birth weight babies
Our treatment consists of diagnosing and treating anaerobic
infections. We may be able to reduce the need for expensive
gum surgery by actively addressing these infections. For more
information please call us at 586.773.1212. |
