Advanced Dentistry Baytown, Houston
Arch Development and Neurological Disorders
Approximately half of the brain's sensory and motor areas are devoted to the mouth and face. Unfortunately, improper dental alignments in this important area mean faulty signals are sent to brain. After this occurs over a period of time, the brain makes adjustments which lead it to believe that these signals are correct. In fact, these signals are all wrong, and this can lead to a number of unfortunate physiological and psychological effects. By making dental adjustments which, in turn, result in proper signals being sent to the brain from the facial/oral area, the symptoms of many chronic and previously unexplained conditions can be reduced or eliminated. Through advanced dental procedures, including arch development dentistry for children and adults, our dentist serving the Houston and Baytown areas addresses these harmful dental misalignments to provide both physical and psychological relief.

How Dental Misalignments Lead to Physiological and/or Psychological Dysfunction
It has been found that, when dental malalignments are present, improper signals are sent to the brain. The brain perceives these repeated signals as being correct, when in fact they are not. When the brain is affected by incorrect impulses, it responds by sending incorrect messages. These impulses take the form of stress signals being sent throughout the body. In response to these signals, both the psyche and the cellular system of the body are placed under constant strain, with sometimes serious effects. Originally identified by the late Dr. A.C. Fonder, this condition, known as Dental Distress Syndrome, can include the following psychological effects:
- Depression
- Easily irritated
- Worrying
- Melancholia
- Hypochondria
- Excessive dreaming, frequently of a disturbing nature
- Forgetfulness
