A Functional Analysis is a combination diagnostic procedure using clinical muscle and joint signs and symptoms. Referenced models of your teeth as they relate to your face and jaw function, and, when necessary x-rays of the jaws.

Your teeth are an integral part of this neural, muscle, bone functioning chewing system. Often teeth wear, break, loosen or are in malposition because this system is not in harmony. Often, these problems relate to smile appearance issues of tooth length and position, or gum or lip levels. A diagnosis of the cause of problems leads to corrective treatment and long term functional success.
