“I love my teeth and my smile. The work was done very softly and pleasant, and Dr. Gross and his team really cared and even worked on “odd” hours as I was a bit pushed for time leaving USA for Europe. Thank you Dr. Gross – Thank you Renee and the rest of the team – You are great!”

Neuromuscular Dentistry
Miami, Florida
You may think something called Neuromuscular Dentistry does not belong in a discussion about teeth and gums. But it does. Neuromuscular Dentistry goes beyond traditional dentistry, focusing on the position and alignment of the temporomandibular joint, (your ‘jaw joint’) and the surrounding muscles to alleviate and prevent TMD symptoms.
What is TMD?
TMD creates pain when your bite, jaw muscles, and/or temporomandibular joint (the joint connecting your skull and jawbone) are misaligned. The strain of this misalignment over days, weeks or even years can lead to discomfort and pain in speaking, chewing, swallowing, and voluntary or involuntary facial expressions.

Your SmilePerfect dentist knows that the muscles of the jaw must be comfortable, relaxed and in proper alignment to avoid TMD symptoms. During your private consultation, your teeth, muscles and temporomandibular joint are addressed to measure muscle function and determine any misalignment.
Using computerized diagnostic tools, we record the position of your jaw and muscles. From this comprehensive analysis and evaluation, your doctor can accurately diagnose and develop a treatment plan to meet your needs for long-term, optimal dental health and comfort.
