What is JVA?
Bio-JVA Joint Vibration Analysis is based on simple principles of motion and
friction: When smooth surfaces rub together, little friction is created...and
little vibration. If these surfaces become rough, then friction and vibration
are created when these surfaces articulate.
BioJVA™ Fast and Accurate
JVA provides a fast, non-invasive, and repeatable measurement of TMJ function
to aid in your diagnosis of TMJ function. Understanding TMJ function is vital
anytime you are changing the vertical, lateral, or A/P position of the mandible.
Common treatments that change mandibular such as TMD treatment, Orthodontics,
Prosthodontics, Reconstruction and Sleep Dentistry can all from JVA testing. |

How
it works
Human joints have surfaces which rub together in function. Smooth,
well lubricated surfaces in a proper biomechanical relationship
produce little friction and little vibration. But surface changes,
such as those caused by degeneration, tears, or displacements
of the disk, generally produce friction and vibration. Different disorders
can produce different vibration patterns or “signatures”.
PC-assisted vibration analysis helps identify these patterns and helps you
distinguish among various TM disorders.
