NEW TREATMENTS FOR TMJ DISORDERS

Dr. Gottesman is proud to announce the initiation of NEW therapies in the treatment of temporomandibular disorders. These approaches are taken from advances in the neuroscience literature and are now being successfully applied to his TMD sufferers.

Dr. Gottesman has invented a new appliance called the G.A.S. appliance which is an abbreviation for the Gottesman Afferent Stimulator. This appliance is designed to strengthen and quicken signals into the reflex and central nervous systems in order to make the following improvements:

• Decrease pain in the jaw and neck muscles
  
• Decrease headache intensity and frequency
  
• Jaw mobility
  
• Muscular coordination

The appliance(s) does this with or without bite alteration, depending on the circumstances.

In addition, Dr. Gottesman has instituted:

• “Illusion Therapy” to diminish pain and improve motion and function.
  
• Cortical task strengthening exercises.
  
• “Re-patterning” to retrain the brain and reflexes.
  
• Low-threshold cyclical training to decrease degenerative events.

Dr. Gottesman, as the creator of these treatment modalities, may be the only dentist in the world utilizing these approaches to improve the quality of life for those patients suffering from TM Disorders. Dr. Gottesman hopes to present these novel treatment approaches in his upcoming lectures.

Dr. Gottesman looks forward to helping those patients suffering for TM Joint disorders.
