Chronic jaw tension. Headaches that linger. A bite that never feels quite right. At The Hills Dental Spa, neuromuscular dentistry brings alignment back to the body through the mouth. Using advanced diagnostics and a precise understanding of muscle-joint-tooth relationships, we don’t just treat isolated symptoms—we uncover the deeper imbalance affecting your daily comfort.
When your bite is in balance, your life begins to follow.
What Is Neuromuscular Dentistry?
Neuromuscular dentistry examines how the jaw, teeth, muscles, and nerves work together—and what happens when they don’t. Many common symptoms like jaw pain, facial tightness, migraines, or even poor posture can be traced back to dysfunction in the neuromuscular system.
This approach is ideal for patients experiencing:
- Unexplained jaw discomfort or tightness
- Chronic headaches, neck, or upper back pain
- A history of bite adjustments that haven’t resolved symptoms
- Clicking or locking of the jaw
- Muscle fatigue from talking or chewing
- Difficulty finding a “natural” resting bite position
Instead of relying on visual assessments alone, we use sophisticated technology to track muscle activity, jaw position, and bite force—allowing us to identify your true optimal alignment.
Restoring Balance with Precision
Neuromuscular dentistry is the foundation of many treatments at The Hills Dental Spa. Whether you're seeking relief from long-standing discomfort or correcting the bite as part of a Full Mouth Reconstruction, our goal is to establish a healthy, stable jaw position that supports both function and comfort.
Your treatment may include:
- Electronic jaw tracking and bite analysis
- Muscle stimulation therapy (TENS) to relax tension
- Custom-fitted orthotics to realign the bite
- Long-term restorative solutions that protect alignment
- Collaboration with TMJ Therapy to treat underlying joint dysfunction
All care is guided by Dr. Kevin Winters, a nationally recognized leader in neuromuscular and cosmetic dentistry. His training and decades of clinical experience allow for an unmatched level of insight into complex bite issues. We provide advanced neuromuscular dentistry services to individuals in Austin, West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, Lost Creek, and Lakeway, TX.
Frequently Asked Questions

How is neuromuscular dentistry different from general dentistry?
While general dentistry focuses on teeth alone, neuromuscular dentistry considers the entire system—jaw joints, muscles, nerves, and teeth—to restore total functional balance.
Can this help with headaches or neck pain?
Yes. Many patients who suffer from chronic headaches or neck discomfort find relief once their bite and jaw alignment are corrected.
Is this treatment surgical?
No. Our approach is entirely non-invasive and based on computer-assisted diagnostics, muscle relaxation techniques, and customized bite therapy.
How do I know if my bite is misaligned?
If your bite feels “off,” your jaw clicks or locks, or you’ve been treated for TMJ pain without lasting results, a neuromuscular evaluation may be the next right step.
