Bite Treatment
75% of ALL head, neck or facial pain is from muscles caused by bite problems. Dr Simon's patented, FDA accepted Best-Bite device can determine the cause of your pain.
Regardless of who you have seen and what you have been told, in less than 10 minutes you can find out if we can help by stopping the pain with no drugs or surgery.
If your bite is not in harmony with your jaw joints, you may unconsciously clench andgrind your teeth, in a unconscious effort to wear down or break off the points of the teeththat are in the way. Clenching and grinding your teeth can create two negativeresults. It can:
- Break, loosen or wear down your teeth, make your teeth sensitive and even causegum recession and bone loss.
- Cause muscle pain in the head, neck and face that you may think is due to stress oreven been misdiagnosed as migraine, sinus or tension headaches or neck aches in the past.
Most people who clench or grind their teeth, even people who cause severe damage or head, neck or facial pain, don't even realize they are doing it.
