  • Lower jaw jolts?

    Jaw spasms, also known as trismus, is a common condition that can be caused by dental infection or trauma from an injury to the face, neck, or head. Locked jaw causes derive from temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ). Other causes for jaw twitching and cramping can come from taking certain medications. The basic explanation is that there has been damage to, or interference with, your facial nerves or muscles. There are many conditions that can cause this damage and make your jaw muscles lock up, and it can sometimes take a little detective work on the part of your medical provider to pin down the exact cause.

  • Can you fix an open bite without jaw surgery?

    Non-surgical correction of anterior open bite malocclusion is commonly achieved by dental extrusion through the use of either inter-maxillary elastics or a combination of extractions and elastic wear. There are two types: Anterior and Posterior. (Front teeth vs. Back teeth). For Anterior open bite, again there are two categories: 1. Dental - For children, habit-breaking appliances coupled with myofunctional appliances. Braces can also help with severe proclination of upper front teeth. For adults, fixed orthodontics (braces) are an option. 2. Skeletal - If it is skeletal and it is severe, you may need surgery. Sometimes, if the skeletal defects are minimal, some fixed orthodontics can be given. For Posterior open bite, the treatment is - a. Habit breaking for tongue thrusting habit. b. Crowns to enhance the height of natural dentition. So yes, if the defect is not skeletal, fixed orthodontics (braces) can help. You might also want to consider cosmetic dental treatment like veneers and crowns. READ MORE

  • Is dental implant removal painful?
