| <div style="background:#f9fcff; border-left:4px solid #2d9ee0; padding:16px 18px; margin-bottom:22px; border-radius:6px;">
| | * Electrophysiology can reveal balanced trigeminal dynamics even with occlusal issues. |
| <h3 style="margin-top:0;">🔹 Why this matters</h3>
| | * A mechanistic-only view may miss neural drivers of orofacial dysfunction. |
