The TruDenta Process
![Bite Force Analysis Icon showing mouth and teeth](https://trudenta.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Bite-Force-Analysis-Icon.png)
Bite Force Analysis
Our proprietary T-Scan technology allows our doctors to precisely assess your mouth and jaw for dental imbalances during opening, closing, and chewing, right down to the amount and direction of the force exerted by each individual tooth.![Range of Motion Analysis Icon showing neck with arrows](https://trudenta.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Range-of-Motion-Analysis-Icon.png)
Range of Motion Analysis
Dental imbalances often cause chronic muscle tension and inflammation, which can in turn limit your head and jaw movement. Our doctors measure and monitor the movement range of your head and jaw to more accurately determine the most effective treatment plan for your symptoms.![Headache History Form Icon showing persons head with pain lines above](https://trudenta.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Headache-History-Form-Icon.png)
Headache History Form
Headaches can occur for many different reasons — in order to find the source of your headaches and determine if the TruDenta treatment process will be effective for you, your TruDenta doctor will speak with you in detail about your past headaches and their specific symptoms.![Muscle Exam Icon showing barbell](https://trudenta.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Muscle-Exam-Icon.png)
Muscle Exam
Your TruDenta doctor will locate the latent trigger points in your face and neck that restrict motion and contribute to jaw imbalances — these knots of tense muscle are often missed without a thorough examination.![Head Health Questionnaire Icon showing papers and pencil](https://trudenta.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Head-Health-Questionaire-Icon.png)
Head Health Questionaire
Jaw or head trauma can cause a variety of hidden changes in the jaw, neck, and face that may later manifest as stiffness, pain, or headaches. By cataloging any possible sources of damage, your TruDenta doctor can more effectively focus your treatment plan.![Ultrasound Icon showing air waves](https://trudenta.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Ultrasound-Icon.png)
Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound treatment returns circulation to chronically sore and strained muscles by providing gentle heat and increasing blood flow, while the targeted sound waves break up scar tissue and deep adhesions.![Trigger Point Therapy Icon showing fingers and trigger point](https://trudenta.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Trigger-Point-Therapy-Icon.png)
Trigger Point Therapy
Manual trigger point therapy decreases and eliminates pain and tension in latent and active trigger points by breaking up muscle knots and increasing blood flow in order to decrease inflammation.![Electrocurrent Icon showing tower with waves coming out](https://trudenta.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Electrocurrent-Icon.png)
Electrocurrent
Our transcutaneous microcurrent stimulation therapy reduces muscle spasms and their accompanying pain through low-level electrical signals. It also decreases lactic acid build-up and encourages healthy nerve stimulation.![Low-Level Laser Icon showing laser working](https://trudenta.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Low-Level-Laser-Icon.png)
