Neck and Shoulder Pain

Muscles typically work with other muscles; when one is impacted, others are also. A poorly aligned bite brings about an imbalance in the jaw-to-skull relationship. Contracted jaw muscles strain the head, shoulders, neck and back muscles to compensate.

As a neuromuscular dentist, I understand the interdependency of face and neck bones, joints, muscles, and nerves. My goal is to correct the bite, relieving strain that leads to discomfort. I can help in a variety of ways, including:

Bite Stabilization -- A temporary orthotic placed over the teeth while your bite is stabilized. Once you achieve relief, I permanently adjust your bite into a pain-free position.

Coronoplasty/Equilibration -- Reshaping the enamel of the teeth to correct bite misalignment--typically used only for slight misalignments.

Removable Overlay Partials -- Permanent orthotics that generally fit over the back teeth to maintain proper bite alignment.

Reconstruction -- Teeth made higher with crowns. Permanent bite correction is achieved, and the jaw receives additional support.

Orthodontics (Braces) -- Teeth that are in a healthy condition adjusted into the ideal position with braces.

If you are in the San Ramon, California area (or any surrounding area), please contact the office to make an appointment with Dr. Sean Anderson.
