TMJ Therapy

TMJ Therapy

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD), also known as TMJ, is a condition that affects the joint connecting your jaw to your skull. This condition can cause a range of symptoms, including jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty eating or speaking. Fortunately, the dentists at Graceful Smiles Dentistry are experienced in providing TMJ therapy to help alleviate these symptoms and improve your overall quality of life.

TMJ therapy is a non-invasive treatment that is designed to relieve pain and discomfort associated with TMD. At Graceful Smiles Dentistry, our team of dental professionals will work with you to diagnose your condition and develop an effective treatment plan that meets your individual needs.

One of the most common forms of TMJ therapy is the use of a custom-fitted oral appliance. This device is worn while you sleep, and is designed to help align your jaw and relieve pressure on the joint. This can effectively reduce pain and discomfort associated with TMD, and can help you to sleep better at night.

In addition to oral appliances, our dentists may also recommend other forms of therapy to help alleviate TMD symptoms. This can include jaw exercises to improve mobility and strengthen the muscles around the joint, as well as heat or ice therapy to reduce inflammation and swelling.

Another important aspect of TMJ therapy is addressing any underlying dental problems that may be contributing to your TMD symptoms. This can include teeth grinding, clenching, or misalignment, all of which can put added stress on the jaw joint. By addressing these issues, our dentists can help to prevent further damage to the joint and improve overall oral health.
