Any evidence based research support for neuromuscular dentistry therapy improving fertility?

No: I have heard a lot of claims for the use of neuromuscular dentistry, but fertility is not one of them. I can see no relationship to the position of the mandible and fertility.

No: I know of no connection between jaw function and fertility, other than the obvious psychological problems of people in pain from myofacial disease perhaps being less likely to have sex. Therefore, whether jaw problems are solved with neuromuscular dentistry or other methods, i wouldn't expect any changes in fertility. I am personally skeptical of neuromuscular dentistry as a treatment modality.

No: And please don't believe anecdotal histories. There is no scientific evidence that changing jaw position will affect fertility. To improve fertility see an OBGyn, not a Dentist. See your Dentist to help keep your mouth healthy during pregnancy to improve baby's birth weight and and your length of term statistics.

Maybe indirectly ?: Been practicing 35 years, 30 of them as a Prosthodontist. Do not know of direct link. However, stress can be an enormous factor in so many things, I would not rule this one out. As the Head, Neck, Jaw muscles relax and reach a physiologically balanced state, stresses can be greatly reduced/relieved. What this brings to the fertility table -- tough to test for direct link. More relaxed always helps.
