- Provide occlusal relationship of the mandible to maxilla that minimizes the need for muscle accommodation and posturing.
- Provide an occlusal relationship that allows for optimal decompression of nerve, muscle and vascular structures of the facial and masticatory system. Decompress the retro-discal tissues of the temporomandibular joint.
- Reduction or elimination of nerve entrapment by restoring muscles to their optimal resting length. Hypertonic muscle spasm shortens muscle which can entrap nerves intra-muscularly or as the nerve passes between the muscles or other anatomic structures.
- Decompression of the temporomandibular joint is facilitated by a stable and measurable neuromuscular intercuspal position. The temporomandibular joint is the only joint in the body where anatomical relationships within the joint are dictated by an external terminal contact end point i.e. habitual (centric) occlusion.
- Restoration of optimal posture of the head and neck with minimal muscle activity at rest of all related muscle groups.
