Neuromuscular Dentistry - Treatment for TMJ & TMD
The Advanced Non-Surgical Approach To Elimination of Headaches, Clicking & Popping of Jaw
Neuromuscular Dentistry is the art and science of dentistry that uses the relationship between the jaw muscles, jaw bones, nerves and teeth to recreate the natural bite.
Our office uses Neuromusclular Dentistry, a state-of-the-art technology to determine your symptoms and to find your optimal jaw position. The dentist works to realign your bite, teeth, jaw and joints to their optimal position using a special orthotic and a tensing machine, which gently relaxes your jaw muscles. Once the bite is realigned and the jaw is in place, pain that resulted from the imbalance disappears. Our way of treating your TMJ & TMD is noninvasive, requires no injections and no pain.
Benefits of Neuromusclular Dentistry
Patients of Neuromuscular Dentistry experience a range of benefits from decreased or eliminated pain and discomfort, to better overall health and longer-lasting dental restorations. They are relieved of the muscle spasms and pain related to all the symptoms mentioned above.
The Difference Between Neuromuscular Dentistry and Traditional Dentistry
Neuromuscular dentistry places the jaw into its optimal position, relieving the symptoms associated with TMJ, while traditional dentistry evaluates primarily the teeth, bones and gums.
Neuromuscular dentistry works with the hard and soft tissues, muscles and nerves. Neuromuscular dentists understand that your hard and soft tissues have a complex relationship and work to make that relationship a harmonious one. It all involves muscles and nerves, the power source that controls the movement, pressure, and function of the mouth.
TMJ
TMJ stands for “temporomandibular joint,” or JAW JOINT. These are the small joints in front of each ear that attach the lower jaw to the skull, and happen to be the most complex joints in the entire body.
The area of the face where the TMJ is located is an intricate network of bones, including the teeth, muscles, and nerves. They are essential to daily jaw functions such as opening and closing your mouth, chewing and speaking. Because of this, TMJ conditions affect many areas of the body, from the top of the head in migraine-like headaches to numbness or tingling in the arms and pain in the neck or shoulders.
What Are TMJ / TMD Disorders?
When the jaw joint and the nerves surrounding the joint become inflamed, all of the surrounding muscles including the head, neck, shoulder, back, and facial muscles work overtime to compensate often causing extreme pain.
TMD is a chronic degenerative disease that often takes years to develop. TMD affects millions of people. People who suffer from TMD have an imbalance in the jaw-to-skull relationship, which is caused by a bad bite (malocclusion).

What Causes TMJ Disorders?
In most cases, TMJ disorders stem from a condition called Malocclusion, which means having a bad bite. Malocclusion means that your upper and lower teeth do not close together in the correct way—they are misaligned. This includes underbites and overbites. When the teeth are misaligned, they cannot provide the support that the muscles in the face need for chewing and swallowing. These muscles are then forced into a strained position, resulting in pain throughout the face, head, arms, shoulders, and back. Although a person may have beautiful teeth or had orthodontics to line the teeth up for aesthetic reasons, the muscles and joints may not be comfortable.
Treatment for TMJ Disorders?
As a restorative and cosmetic dentist dedicated wholly to caring compassionately for his patients, our dentist commits many hours every year to ongoing education in the area of neuromuscular dentistry. Using this revolutionary science, he delivers low-frequency electrical impulses to the jaw muscles with the TENS K-7 unit. These neuromuscular impulses cause the jaw to relax in its ideal position, so that the cause of your TMJ dysfunction can be diagnosed. If the dentist finds your dysfunction stems from a bad bite, the dentist will recommend a treatment course, which may include further neuromuscular therapy, an orthotic mouthguard, or for severe cases, possibly bite reconstruction.

I had some cap work done by Dr. Binafard in Norwalk and I am very pleased. He was very professional about the way he did things, very prompt. I was very satisfied with the way my teeth look and I will be sure to go back and have any other work done in the future with the Doctor. Thank you very much!

I come to Dr. Binafard’s office. He’s a wonderful dentist, he’s very thorough, and he goes over your whole treatment plan with you. He lets you know exactly what is the cause, what is your outcome, and what needs to be done from there. If you have any type of question he’s there to answer it for you and its not like somebody else comes to talk to you, he’s the person that lets you know and he sits down with you. He’s very kind, he’s a wonderful dentist, I’ve done fillings, crowns, and I even had my wisdom teeth pulled here. I’ve had no problems with any of my fillings, they feel wonderful and no sensitivity at all. Also, with my crowns I’ve never had any problems with them either. The great thing about Dr. Binafard is that he is very, very careful with you and he understands if your scared or if you feel uncomfortable. He’s there and he’s very calm and patient with you, which is great. This office is a very family oriented office because I bring my children here and he’s great with them, its not like he shoves the parents out and puts the kids in. I see everything going on and he doesn’t do things that don’t need done. My kids love him because he’s a great dentist. He has specialists that come in as well so you don’t have to worry about going to a different office. I would recommend Dr. B to anybody. Once you meet him, you’ll understand. Thank you!

Both of my kids get checked at Pioneer Dental. We LOVE it there! Everyone is super nice. I just recently took my 5 year old daughter there and was pleased with the results. The dentist took the time to explain to her what they were going to do and showed her all the tools they were going to use. There was a bit of crying but nothing too bad. I will keep bringing both my kids here.

I can't express enough what an amazing dentist Dr. Binafard is. His staff is friendly and very helpful. I went in for a second opinion (I was told by another dentist that I need a root canal). It turns out I did not need one. Dr Binafard saved me a root canal and crown (major $$$$). He's honest and that's amazing!!!! I highly recommend him.
