TMJ/TMD Services
You may not realize it, but your overall health is largely tied to having a proper bite (occlusion). When your bite is not aligned properly, it can cause neuromuscular diseases like Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ/TMD), a condition that causes chronic headaches, back, neck and shoulder pain and several other painful symptoms.
Oftentimes these symptoms are not immediately associated with a misaligned bite, and you can endure years of suffering before being properly diagnosed. In fact, Dr. Dennis Ikuta suffered from several of these symptoms for over 20 years until he learned more about neuromuscular dentistry at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), the premier post-graduate dental training center where he is now an instructor.
