How is neuromuscular dentistry used to diagnose TMJ?

Dr. Forsberg uses the latest technology available to determine the most optimal position for your jaw. X-rays are taken to evaluate the condition and position of the temporomandibular joint. Electromyography measures your jaw muscle function in stressed and relaxed positions to determine if there are structural imbalances in the relationship between your jaw and your skull. Sonography records the sounds made by your jaw. This will reveal any abnormalities that are present. Also, computerized equipment is used to record the resting position and the path of the movement of your jaw.
