Jaw Tracking and Surface
Electromyography
We have invested in technology that will
precisely and quantitatively measure the activity in your jaw and
neck muscles. We have found that calm muscles are "happy"
muscles and are free from pain. We can determine by watching
the muscle activity the most comfortable position for your jaw. We
can track your jaw to that position and capture that
physiologic rest position. This will allow us to make an
orthotic in that position to allow your muscles to relax and
heal. Which allows you to be comfortable with your new jaw
position.
J-5 Myomonitor is a muscle
stimulating device to help relax muscles of the jaw and neck
simultaneously using transcutaneous electrical muscle
stimulation. It is a battery powered device that the guest controls
and it is used to treat the following:
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
and associated pain
To relieve symptoms associated with
muscle spasm
To relax muscles and establish a
physiologic biting position
To take bite registrations and
impressions for dentures
To increase blood circulation
To
maintain or increase mandibular range of motion

Video Mouth Tour
 We at Halsted Dental
Aesthetics take pride in our state-of-the-art equipment used in
enhancing our diagnostic capability as well as increasing your
knowledge. With our Intra-Oral camera you can take a Video Tour of
your mouth. You can see what we see without squinting or trying to
manipulate two mirrors to get light on the
tooth.
At your initial examination you
will be given a complete tour of your mouth. From ear to ear and
corner to corner we will show you what your teeth look like. There
is no guessing anymore. If there is a small fracture on a tooth it
seen with ease. If the margins are breaking down on a silver
filling, there is no doubt about it. Is it as plain as the nose on
your face. When we say you need a Crown or Onlay you can see why and
the question now becomes," When can we
start?"
We can
print out a picture of a fractured tooth, for instance, and send it
along with your insurance form to make sure you receive the proper
benefits. With this invaluable aid diagnosis and treatment planning
is enhanced tremendously. Please stop in for your Video Mouth
Tour.
Computerized Mouth Charting
 Our
computerized mouth charting is integrated with our Practice
Management software. This program allows for complete control of all
the functions of a dental office. In the near future the concept of
a paperless office will be a reality. We have computers in the
operatories that will display your chart graphically. We can see
what treatment has been completed and which procedures still need to
be addressed.
We can include a full
clinical chart including TMJ, Periodontal conditions, Skeletal and
Musculature conditions as well as enter in the daily treatment
performed on each guest. After doing a full periodontal (gum)
charting it can be displayed graphically to enhance guest
understanding and improve guest compliance. We can also print out
this graphical chart in color for the guest to take home with them.
Included with this charting is a Guest Education system. This system
has pictures and diagrams to show most of the various procedures
that can be performed at our office. With this great technology at
our fingertips we can provide to best dental care possible with the
guest fully cooperating because all possible questions have been
answered.
