At Penney Weeks DMD, we use advanced EMG technology to measure muscle activity and find your physiologic bite—the position where your jaw, muscles, and airway all work together in balance.

Most TMJ treatments stop at a nightguard, but we go deeper. Using the LVI neuromuscular protocol, we identify and correct the root cause of muscle tension, headaches, and even sleep disturbances.

💤 Better sleep
💆‍♀️ Relaxed muscles
🦷 Long-term stability

This is dentistry that looks beyond teeth—it’s about restoring harmony between your bite, airway, and body.
