Does your jaw click when you chew or speak? Are you plagued with chronic headaches? Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder may be to blame. The dentists at Musso Family Dentistry offer non-surgical therapy to restore healthy function and alleviate discomfort.
Stress, a misaligned bite, bruxism (teeth grinding), and a variety of other factors can impact the two small joints in front of your ears and disrupt jaw movement. Pain, pressure, and a whole host of symptoms may occur. Your LVI-trained dentist will perform a comprehensive examination to determine the underlying cause of your TMJ dysfunction, then prescribe treatment to remedy your situation. Often, a custom-fitted mouthguard delivers relief by easing stressed jaws and promoting proper alignment. Many patients wear their mouthguards for three months, then discontinue use. Others may need ongoing therapy to achieve optimal function.
