Pharyngometer/Rhinometer

In our sleep apnea and snoring evaluations we use the pharyngometer and rhinometer to evaluate airway volume. These operate by way acoustic reflection which accurately maps out the size of our nasal and oral airway. Both of these diagnostic tools are non-invasive and very important when it comes to locating obstructions and narrowing in your airway. These enable us to better design our appliance for you.

 
 

Galileos CT Scanner

This Cone Beam CT x-ray is the state of the art when it comes to assessing upper airway and TMJ issues. This machine helps us view sinuses, nasal septum, nasal airway oral airway, TMJ position, cervical spine position and to assess the anatomical relationships in the head and neck area. With all of the valuable information that we gather from this unit, it also allows us to make a more appropriate and timely diagnosis so that you can receive the proper care.


K-7

We have an answer to your questions. Our K7 can help us help you! We have answers to your questions. The K7 allows us to register jaw joint sounds, movements and muscle activity. It is a wonderful diagnostic tool. It’s primary purpose for our office is being able to confidently determine whether a TMJ patient has a large muscle component to their pain, or not.

 

The K7, made by Myotronics, allows us to address the neuromuscular componentof our patient’s pain. With our custom made neuromuscular orthotics, we are able to
provide the best care and treatment available. Our patients get better faster and are more stable with their results because of the neuromuscular dentistry that we do.

 

Low Level Laser Therapy

As part of our treatment is nearly used on all patients with head and/or neck pain. The laser is wonderful in promoting healing deeper into the tissue. It is quick, non-invasive and pain free. The low level laser does such a good job at fighting inflammation, that we use it on most of our TMD patients.

 

Other Therapy Modalities

In our practice we also use an alpha stimulation, an ETPS unit, iontophoresis, ultrasound, trigger point injections, hot/cold therapy, TENS unit therapy and spray and stretch therapy. All of these modalities help us to manage the patient’s pain and TMJ headache issues along with orthotic devices to help establish a healthy bite relationship. We are absolutely committed to...
