Treat Your TMJ Problems & Improve Your Life
Many people are surprised to learn that their frequent headaches and migraines may be caused by a problem with their jaw joints, known as the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). When the TMJ is not functioning properly, it can lead to a variety of painful symptoms, including chronic headaches and migraines.
During your consultation, your dentist will perform a thorough examination of your jaw, teeth, and bite to identify any signs of TMJ dysfunction. We may also use advanced imaging technology, such as digital X-rays or 3-D CT scans, to get a detailed view of your jaw joints and surrounding structures.
Based on our findings, your dentist will recommend one or more of the following options:
- Oral Appliance Therapy – You can receive a custom bite guard to relieve the pressure on your TMJs. We have several different types. Your dentist will recommend the one that is ideal for your needs.
- Botox Treatments – These targeted injections will relax the muscles around the TMJs, reducing pain and tension. You can easily have these treatments done during your regular checkups.
- Invisalign – If your TMJ problems are triggered by misalignment, your dentist may recommend Invisalign. These clear aligners will shift your teeth into place and give you long-term relief by correcting your bite.
