Dr. Raymond Sheridan is one of very few dentists in the Columbus area who has been trained in the principles of neuromuscular dentistry. Neuromuscular dentistry deals with harmonizing the hard and soft tissues of the mouth so that the muscles are not working against the teeth and bones, which can lead to excess wear on teeth and a number of other TMJ symptoms throughout the body. Poorly done orthodontics, as with any dental treatment, can create or worsen neuromuscular dental problems. Because he is aware of the possibility of neuromuscular problems following orthodontic treatment, Dr. Sheridan will only recommend treatments that will help your overall oral health, whether that is Invisalign, traditional braces, instant orthodontics or another treatment altogether.
