Help
for Chronic Pain
Dr.
Zafiratos can provide relief
for patients who experience
symptoms associated with
“malocclusion”, or an
unhealthy bite. He treats
common conditions, such as
Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD
or TMJ), with unique and
advanced techniques such as
TENS (transcutaneous
electrical nuero
stimulation). Knowledge of
neuromuscular principles
enables him to balance the
relationship between your
teeth, muscles, and joints.
The result is harmony in
your jaw system...and
COMFORT!
Symptoms of Bite
Problems (malocclusion)
If you
are experiencing any of the
following symptoms you may
be one of the 70 million
people who suffer from an
incorrect bite, or
malocclusion:
-
Headaches or migraines
-
Pressure behind your
eyes
-
Vertigo (dizziness)
-
Facial pain
-
Sensitive teeth from
grinding or clenching of
your teeth
-
Clicking sounds from
your jaw
-
Shoulder or neck
soreness
-
Neck stiffness or pain
-
Lower back problems
-
Tingling in your finger
tips
-
Unexplained hearing loss
Treatment of malocclusion
usually starts with a
removable appliance (orthotic),
typically worn on the lower
teeth. The orthotic
repositions the jaw in order
to prevent the jaw muscles
from working and to promote
a decompression of the joint
structures.
