Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder Treatment, Symptoms & Causes

TMJ treatment is designed to reduce pain in and around the jaw joints.

TMJ-TMD Treatment

Your temporomandibular joints, or TMJs, connect your lower jawbone to your skull.

 These joints get a lot of use throughout the day as you speak, chew, swallow, and yawn. Pain in and around these joints can be unpleasant and may even restrict movement.

Not all jaw pain is associated with TMD.

If you feel that you might have TMD, it is always important to see your dentist for an examination. However, not all jaw pain is associated with TMD, and if you do not have TMD there are many different preventive steps you can take to maintain a healthy, strong smile.

Many people get TMD without ever having braces. Symptoms usually come and go regardless of whether braces are worn. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above and are concerned that you’re a candidate for TMD treatment, please contact our office for a consultation.
