Once you have been diagnosed with a TMJ disorder, it is important to receive treatment as soon as possible. Not only does this mean relief for you, but it will also reduce the chances of your disorder becoming any more serious.
Diagnosis
We pride ourselves on offering TMJ treatments that utilize exceptional dental technology to bring you lasting relief from your alignment issues. In this unique aspect of modern dentistry, we bring a wealth of knowledge to this community. We want to use that knowledge to offer you conservative solutions that can relieve your symptoms and restore your quality of life.
First, you can expect a thorough examination to make sure our doctors understand exactly what is causing your TMJ disorder. We will check the stability of your joints and oral muscles. During this appointment, we will examine your teeth to determine whether there is any undue wear and tear. We will also analyze the shape of your airway, which is a key to the TMJ disorder.
Once we know exactly what you are dealing with on a daily basis, you can look forward to the relief that comes with effective treatment. Your treatment plan is geared toward restoring the function and stability of your chewing system to solve the problem at its source.
Next Steps
The first step to relieving a TMJ disorder involves stabilizing the jaw joint. We often help patients by repositioning the jaw in order to resolve unstable chewing function. In this way, we can help treat the TMJ disorder at the cause rather than simply helping our patients live with the symptoms.
In some cases, a TMJ disorder can be solved with restorative dentistry. Placing replacement teeth can help comfortably realign an unhealthy bite. Similarly, orthodontic treatments can also help guide your jaw back where it needs to be.
Your unique treatment plan is a recommendation that we make after analyzing your oral health and the causes behind your TMJ disorder. Once we make that recommendation, we can discuss how the treatment can resolve the causes behind your disorder. This simple discussion can help you undergo treatment with confidence.
