High-Tech Diagnostics With the new scanner, the Metro Imaging Center is probably the only dental office in Michigan that offers neuromuscular orthodontics and neuromuscular dentures from computer-generated prostheses — offering a comfort level never before available. "Today, orthodontics is more than just a pretty smile Jeff Ingber said. "Many people still are unaware that chronic, persistent headaches can be caused by a temporal man- dibular joint (TMJ) that is out-of- alignment. Once an adjustment has been made for this disorder, the headaches suddenly disappear. The same thing with neck and back pain, clicking and popping in jaw joints, and clenching or grinding of teeth:' Jason explained further. "The computer software allows us to see which facial muscles might be constricted. In many cases, these are the cause of the headaches and other pains that patients are expe- riencing but no one had yet been able to find out the reason:' The treatment of sleep apnea is also possible with the computer's help. Instead of the usual reliance on an air pump CPAP machine to keep palatal airways from closing during sleep, specialists at MDC measure, design and fabricate a custom orthotic with a palatal lift that the patient fits onto the upper and lower teeth while sleeping to keep the back of the airways open. Another promising orthotic is the Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM), a proprietary custom-fitted device that is only offered through a net- work of PPM-certified dentists, of which MDC is one. Designed for professional athletes, the PPM brings the jaw into an alignment position optimized for athletic performance — balance, range of motion, flexibility, explosive power and strength. Jeff is active at Temple Israel and has been president of the Brotherhood, while Jason is cur- rently a member of Temple Shir Shalom. After more than 40 years in the business, when Jeff is asked about retirement — even though Jason is slated to take the helm of MDC — he demurs, "Oh, I don't know. I enjoy the day-to-day work.
