North Jersey Neuromuscular Dentistry
Temporal Mandibular Joint or Temporal Mandibular Dysfunction
TMJ or TMD
North Jersey Neuromuscular dentistry is the art and science of using the relaxed position of the muscles of the head and neck to place the jaw into an optimal physiological position. Thirty years of research and clinical experience have shown this technique to be effective in treating patients with various levels of head and neck pain. This allows for an increase in the longevity of dental restorations and natural dentition. Many have heard this described as:
TMJ (Temporal Mandibular Joint or)
TMD (Temporal Mandibular Dysfunction)
North Jersey TMJ Dentist Dr. Martin uses advanced neuromuscular techniques to eliminate painful tension in the head, neck and shoulder muscles.

How the lower jaw moves makes an incredible difference on how a person's muscles feel, how the teeth wear and the shape and appearance of the face.
Estimates show that this disorder afflicts over forty million Americans. If you are one of them, you will relate to several of the following conditions:
