Gary is one of the nicest guys you would ever meet. Gary had a terrible clicking (actually clunking) in the jaws as well as headaches. He was hoping to find a solution to correct the jaws and was surprised that a solution could exist for his headaches caused by the stress of work and years of clenching and grinding his teeth.
What We Found: Where are Gary's teeth when he smiles? Discolored, worn out, mishmash of different types and colors of the dental work as you can see. A cosmetic dentist will look at Gary as a whole, at the symmentry of Gary's face, you would notice that the lower one-third of Gary's face is far shorter than the middle or upper 1/3. His nose-to-chin ratio is very short. There is quite a lot of stress on the TMJ or jaw joints causing them to wear and degrade prematurely and could lead to disabling arthritis in the jaw joints. This explains the terrible jaw noises when opening and closing.
What We Did: Because of Gary's bite and jaw issues, Full Mouth Rehabilitation was needed that would alleviate the pressure on his TMJ and jaws, improve his bite and give him newer, healthier, more uniform looking teeth as well as now showing his teeth, making a great smile.
Gary's TMJ and headaches have improved and he is feeling great. We are very happy to have helped Gary. It's been several years and he's doing great and still racing cars!
