A deep overbite forced this patient's jaw to be held in a receded position causing pursing of his lips. He came from West Los Angeles . A deep overbite could cause migraine headaches, jaw pain, TMJ pain and a host of other symptoms. It was important to get his jaw and bite into a comfortable, natural and functional position. The best dentist would develop a plan that uses all of the various techniques available and use the right one for you. |

Full Mouth ReconstructionYes, this is the same patient! His lower jaw was repositioned down and forward , without surgery, by only treating his teeth. The Dental Face Lift ® is possible by only treating your teeth and the bite. Minor cosmetic bonding was used to give him a more masculine smile. Although completed in 1985, these changes remained stable during the subsequent growth of the patient. He continues to benefit from the positive change in his appearance. It is over 20 years later and this is still a patient of Dr. Muslin's. The over-bite is gone. |

Tmj & Neck PainDeep overbites and crooked teeth lead to jaw pain, neck pain and facial pain. The resulting pain can be debilitating to the patient. Many times the patient is surprised to learn that part or all of the resulting pain is due to a bad bite. Once the bite has been treated and the jaw repositioned the pain can be reduced. Face Lift & Small ChinsThis patient looks like his chin is small but the reality is that the chin is of normal size. Once the jaw allowed to reposition itself in the jaw joint or TMJ correctly, the chin looks much larger. The jaw position and the size of the chin are directly related. Developing the concept of three dimensional jaw repositioning naturally, non surgically and quickly, the patient can have a larger looking chin and a physically longer face. The treatment is called, The Dental Face Lift ®. |
