What is TMJ?
Neuromuscular dentistry focuses on severe jaw misalignment problems and how they affect your teeth, nerves and muscles. Specifically, these problems stem from TMD - Temporomandibular joint disorder - which also goes by the name TMJ syndrome.
Your temporomandibular joint connects your jaw to your skull. This can become inflamed or misaligned for a variety of reasons and can be exacerbated by such activities as nail biting, sleeping on your stomach, eating large-sized bites of food and excessive clenching or grinding of the teeth.
TMJ symptoms
Most symptoms of TMJ occur in the facial area, but they can also be associated with other health problems. These symptoms include:
- Vertigo
- Ringing sound in ears
- Migraine headaches
- Pain in shoulder, back, neck or behind the eyes
- Problems with head posture
We offer personalized treatments for TMJ syndrome and can help realign your jaws and alleviate pain caused by TMJ. Our skilled team is all neuromuscular dental professionals who are here to help you restore your jaw and keep your smile comfortable.
