The latest and most effective technology for Bite Therapy is Orthotic Therapy which utilises a combination of Tens and K7. We have discovered that the only true way to stop further damage occurring to your teeth is with Orthotic Therapy.
Step 1 - Assessment of your bite using objective testing methods:
- Surface Electromyography - measures muscle activity, in the face, head and neck
- Joint Sonography - measures sounds from the jaw joints
- Computerised Mandibular Scanning - tracks how your lower jaw moves
All these tests are performed using very complex and sensitive equipment known as ‘K7’.
Step 2 - Relaxation of your muscles to discover your ideal bite
This allows your muscles to ‘forget’ how they move your jaw into your habitual, non-ideal bite. Relaxation of your muscles is achieved with ‘TENS’. TENS is a small machine that uses electrical impulses to stimulate nerves which in turn relax the muscles. During TENS it appears as though the muscles in your face, head and neck are twitching.
TENS treatment is painless, and usually lasts between 45 minutes and 90 minutes. Most people find the treatment extremely relaxing, and many fall asleep.
