Using computerised equipment, Dental Excellence can measure and study the pattern of jaw opening and closing through its full range of motion and in three dimensions.

Rather than relying on your present jaw position as being the best one for you, Dental Excellence can use the additional objective information to determine if your jaw position (bite) should be left as is or adjusted to a more optimal position.

The tests are non-invasive - there are no injections, there is no pain. These tests include:

CMS - Computerised Mandibular Scanning, which tracks the movement of your jaw in three dimensions.

SEMG - Surface Electromyography which monitors the major muscle groups which are responsible for the movement of your jaw. This technology is very similar to an ECG, which is used by cardiologists to determine the health of your heart.

ESG - Electrosonography which involves sensors that detect joint sound vibrations, as you open and close your mouth and transmit the sound and data to the computer.

On assessing your CMS, SEMG and / or your ESG test result, it may be beneficial to connect you to the Myomonitor. The Myomonitor is an ultra low frequency TENS (Transcutaneaous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit, which will painlessly exercise your facial and jaw muscles. This exercise will overcome the 'programming' of your muscles and allow them to achieve a truly relaxed state. Your results are recorded and stored on a computer.

The team at Dental Excellence will conclude if your jaw is in its optimal position or whether your occlusion should be adjusted to provide improved function. The above results will assist us in advising you on the best possible treatment to relieve your symptoms.
