TMJ Treatment
When the teeth don’t fit together properly due to a misaligned bite, the excess strain on the joint, also known as the TMJ, can cause a host of problems. If you suffer from migraines, facial pain, or even ringing in the ears, it may be due to a misaligned bite, and TMJ treatment may be able to help.
Diagnosing and Treating TMJ Disorders
At our practice near Jackson, Mississippi, TMJ treatment begins with the proper diagnosis. We utilize a computerized system to digitally analyze the bite for a precise diagnosis. We also look for visual signs of wear and cracks on the teeth to determine where the problems might be. Then we create a comprehensive treatment plan for correcting the bite problems and relieving TMJ-related problems.
Bite Therapy Alternatives
There are several bite therapy appliances that we use to treat TMJ problems, including night guards, the tension suppression system, and ll of these dental appliances help realign the jaws to ease the tension and pressure that is put on the joints when the bite is misaligned.
Through TMJ treatment, we can help eliminate headaches, pain, and bite problems for many patients. Contact us in Jackson , Mississippi to learn more about TMJ treatment and how it can help alleviate your pain and discomfort.
