The coming together of lower with the upper jaw is categorized as the "bite" or "occlusion" and it is an essential part of the framework that also involves the muscles, teeth, and jaw joints.

This could cause a variety of warning signs or concerns to evolve like neck pain or facial pain, dizziness, headaches, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), grinding and clenching of the jaw and teeth, sensitivity to cold and hot stimuli, clicking or jaw joint pain, posture issues, and Insomnia.
The core objective of Neuromuscular dentistry is to make sure jaw stability and balance, as well as establishing a superior partnership between jaw joints, teeth and muscles. When the whole process ensures a perfect dental balance, indicators will diminish drastically and could still fade away completely.
