TMJ/Treatment of Bite Problems

As the Clinical Director of The Dawson Academy, Dr. Cranham has access to the latest information with regards the diagnosis & treatment of bite problems, and TMJ related issues. He has presented over 700 days of continuing education on the subject, educating other dentists, throughout the world. “TMJ” issues are a catch all for a wide variety of potential issues that affect your jaw joint, the muscles in your face, your neck, and the surrounding nerves. Arriving at a proper diagnosis, is critical to the success of treatment. Utilizing the latest technologies, like Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT), Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA), or a Tekscan computerized bite analysis are just some examples of the items we use to analyze your TM Joint and bite.

Once a diagnosis is achieved, we will utilize the most conservative approach to solving what is usually a very complex medical/dental problem.
