The Missing Link in Dentistry
Most TMJ care focuses solely on the jaw, but the jaw is just one part of a complex system. A biomechanical approach looks beyond the jaw to understand how the different parts of the patient work together.
The Starting Point
The Jaw
The jaw is an important part of the picture, but it does not function independently from the rest of the body.
The Connection
Head & Neck
The relationship between the jaw, muscles, head and neck can influence how the system functions and adapts.
The Wider System
Airway & Posture
Breathing, airway and posture are part of the broader biomechanical picture considered when assessing a patient.
The Full Picture
The Whole Patient
Looking at these connections gives dentists a framework for understanding the patient as a connected system.
