Neuromuscular Therapy in Houston, TX

What Is Neuromuscular Dentistry?

Neuromuscular dentistry focuses on the connection between your teeth, temporomandibular joints (TMJs), head and neck muscles, and posture. When these systems fall out of alignment—due to stress, poor bite position, trauma, or sleep dysfunction—the result can be chronic tension, clenching, and nerve pain.

Neuromuscular therapy works by:

• Identifying misalignments in jaw position or movement
• Reducing muscle tension through targeted relaxation techniques
• Re-establishing proper bite and posture relationships
• Improving airflow and breathing quality (especially during sleep)

This therapy goes beyond conventional dentistry, aiming to improve your comfort, function, and even energy levels by correcting imbalances at the muscular level.

What We Treat with Neuromuscular Therapy

Neuromuscular imbalances can present as a variety of symptoms that often mimic other health conditions. At Kaviani Modern Dentistry, we use this therapy to address:

• TMJ discomfort and popping
• Chronic migraines or headaches
• Jaw tightness or locking
• Facial fatigue or muscle spasms
• Ear congestion or tinnitus
• Neck and upper back pain
• Sleep-related breathing issues
• Bite instability and teeth shifting

Using digital bite scans, cone beam CT imaging, and postural assessments, we evaluate how your muscles and jaw alignment may be contributing to symptoms—and develop a treatment plan tailored to your physiology.

Introducing BTL EMface Exion: A First in U.S. Dentistry

Kaviani Modern Dentistry is proud to be the only dental practice in the United States using BTL EMface Exion for neuromuscular therapy related to TMJ, bruxism, and airway muscle support. This innovative, non-invasive device uses synchronized radiofrequency and electromagnetic stimulation to:

• Reduce chronic muscle overuse and inflammation
• Improve blood flow and oxygenation in deep facial tissues
• Re-educate neuromuscular patterns for optimal movement
• Alleviate jaw tension without medication or surgery

Patients experiencing persistent pain or dysfunction despite traditional therapies have found transformative results with this exclusive treatment option—available only at our Houston location.

A Personalized Approach to Neuromuscular Balance

Dr. Kevin Kaviani and Dr. Afshan Kaviani bring a comprehensive, whole-health perspective to dentistry. Their training in airway and neuromuscular systems allows them to evaluate more than just teeth. They consider how muscle strain, breathing mechanics, and alignment affect everything from bite strength to chronic fatigue.

In our modern, fully digital office near Memorial and West Houston, you’ll receive care that is grounded in precision and delivered with compassion. Every plan is based on your unique anatomy and functional goals—not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
