- TMJ Treatment
If you’re suffering from intense and constant headaches or jaw pain, you may be suffering from a TMJ disorder. We offer TMJ treatment to relieve your pain and stress. We also use advanced technology such as K7 computer-assisted jaw tracking technology to identify problem areas and relieve your pain.
The TMJ is the temporomandibular joint or the joint that connects the lower jaw to the rest of the head. The term “TMJ” is often used to refer to TMJ disorder, also called TMD, which occurs when the jaw joint becomes stressed, injured, or misaligned. TMJ disorder may result from several different factors, such as stress, bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching), arthritis in the TMJ, or trauma and injury to the head, neck, or jaw.
You may suffer from TMD if you experience frequent jaw pain or facial pain. TMJ disorders may also cause:
- Grinding, clicking, or popping sounds in the jaw when you open and close your mouth
- Inability to open your mouth wide to speak, yawn or chew
- A locked or stuck jaw
- Pain when chewing and biting
- Pain in the neck, shoulders, or ears
- Frequent headaches
Drs Rainey and Montalvo can help you determine the cause of your TMJ disorder and recommend the appropriate treatment plan for you. Treatment for the TMJ will depend on the cause and severity of your TMJ disorder. TMJ treatment may include jaw and facial relaxation exercises, lifestyle changes, restorative dental treatments, a mouth guard or night guard, or jaw surgery. Treatment plans are specifically designed for you to give you healing, reduced inflammation, and the best resolution to your symptoms.
