TMJ Treatment Can Solve Your Problem
& Relieve Your Discomfort

Many people suffer from chronic headaches or migraines; frequent pain in their face, neck, and shoulders; and chronic earaches without ever knowing why. These are some of the symptoms of a condition called TMD, which most people know by the common term TMJ.

TMJ disorders can result from a variety of reasons including, but certainly not limited to, injuries to the teeth or jaw; misalignment of the jaw; clenching or grinding of the teeth; and even chewing gum. The pain comes from stress or damage to the joint that connects the upper and lower jaw.

In actuality, the majority of TMJ issues arise due to problems with someone’s bite and the related muscles. Fortunately, in most cases, TMJ problems can be relieved by properly realigning your bite and relaxing the muscles associated with those functions.

No one wants a disruption to their quality of life and pain from TMJ can certainly qualify as an interruption. It can affect your dietary health, mood, ability to concentrate, and more. Fortunately, there are techniques and procedures readily available to correct the problem and alleviate your discomfort.
