Full Mouth Reconstruction<br>and Rehabilitation

Cosmetic Dentistry Solutions

Sometimes people have pain in their jaw, head or neck that is caused by TMD, a disorder of the jaw joints. This is often caused by misalignment of the teeth, so biting and chewing causes discomfort to the surrounding muscles and ligaments.

There are a few options for a person like this. One solution is massaging and other stress and stiffness decreasing actions, but these are temporary handlings.

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Beverly Hills dentist, advises a permanent handling to TMD pain, which is a full mouth rehabilitation or reconstruction, consisting of a few steps. Before any work is done, the dentist will fully analyze the mouth and jaw. The analysis will involve computerized tests of the position of the jaws when the jaw muscles are both tense and relaxed to see what will be most comfortable for the patient. The next step uses an orthotic, which is a clear, virtually invisible appliance placed inside the mouth and attached the lower jaw. The orthotic will pull or push the lower jaw into the right place. After a few weeks, the jaw muscles will be properly stretched so they are comfortable with the new jaw positioning.

Following the jaw repositioning, each tooth will be closely analyzed to determine whether it needs to be reshaped. Every necessary tooth will be reshaped with a crown or other porcelain restoration, which will raise or lower the tooth as needed to make the jaw most comfortably positioned. Not only will the full mouth rehabilitation make the mouth and jaw more comfortable, but it will also make the teeth look more attractive and beautiful.
