Invisalign™
The days of metal wires and brackets are gone! Invisalign™ is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces, using a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without traditional braces.
- Each set of aligners is worn for about 2 weeks.
- Remove aligners only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
As each aligner is replaced, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position!
TMJ Treatment
Did you know that nighttime jaw clenching from TMJ disorder can lead to persistent migraine pain and chronic headaches?
Dr. Brian McKay has had extensive training in TMJ treatment. He was the first in the Pacific Northwest to offer the new, FDA approved, NTI device which is superior to drugs, and without side effects.
Dr. McKay is Seattle’s leading dentist in treating TMJ disorders. TMJ leads to jaw clenching discomfort that causes headache and migraine pain.
A New Mouth Guard for Treating TMJ
The new mouth guard of the 21st Century, called NTI-TSS (Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Tension Suppression System) is as surprisingly simple as it is effective:
82% of migraine and headache sufferers who use the device experience an average 77% reduction of migraine pain attacks within two months.
The device is custom-produced at Advanced Cosmetic & Laser Dentistry. The process involves no surgery, and has no risk of side effects.
Approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a device not merely to minimize migraine pain, but to actually prevent the pain from starting!
Botox for Treating TMJ
Dr. McKay has been using Botox to treat TMJ in selected patients. Still an experimental treatment, it has been found to be effective in some cases. When it is injected into the sore facial muscles, it can relieve the jaw tension of TMJ disorder for some patients and eliminate the accompanying headaches. If you are interested in trying it, ask Dr. McKay if he thinks this could work for you.
