Physiologic Dentistry

Physiologic dentistry is the art and science of aligning the teeth, jaw joints, and muscles so they work together in a relaxed, balanced, and healthy way. Rather than focusing only on how the teeth fit, this approach evaluates the muscles of the head and neck, the position and movement of the jaw, and the function of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) to find a natural, comfortable “resting” position.

By identifying and using this relaxed muscle position as a guide, physiologic dentistry helps place the jaw into an optimal physiologic bite. This can improve the way you bite, chew, speak, and even breathe, while reducing strain on the muscles and joints. Patients often experience benefits such as decreased jaw pain, fewer headaches, less facial tension, and overall improved comfort and function in their everyday lives.
