SIGNS YOUR PAIN MAY BE TMJ-RELATED
Lingering headaches. Jaw tension. Pain that spreads into your neck, back or shoulders. For many patients symptoms trace back to a single source: TMJ disorder.
- Chipped, worn, or loose teeth without clear cause
- Recurring migraines or tension headaches
- Neck and shoulder strain
- Facial and jaw pain
- Ringing or fullness in the ears
- Tingling in the fingers or arms
- Jaw clicking, popping, or restricted movement
TOP BENEFITS OF TMJ TREATMENT
TMJ therapy is about restoring balance between muscles, joints, and teeth, allowing you to live with comfort and confidence. With treatment, patients often experience:
- Protection against further tooth wear and damage
- Relief from chronic headaches and migraines
- Ease in facial, jaw, neck, and shoulder tension
- Improved jaw function and freedom of movement
- Reduced ear ringing, congestion, or numbness in fingers
HOW TMJ TREATMENT WORKS
Your treatment begins with TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), a gentle form of electrical massage. TENS relaxes the muscles of the head and neck while encouraging the release of endorphins—the body’s natural pain relievers.
With the muscles at rest, we can identify your jaw’s ideal position. Using advanced diagnostics, we evaluate every aspect of its function:
- Computerized jaw tracking reveals irregularities in movement.
- Electromyography (EMG) measures the electrical activity of the muscles, confirming when they are at their most relaxed state.
- Electrosonography (ESG) analyzes joint sounds, helping us detect any signs of damage or degeneration within the TMJ.
HOW WE RESTORE BALANCE
To create a personalized treatment plan, we combine these measurements with specialized x-rays. In some cases, regular TENS therapy and lifestyle adjustments are enough to bring relief. In others, an orthopedic mouthpiece may be recommended. For patients needing more comprehensive care, dental restorations—sometimes as part of a full mouth reconstruction—can improve jaw alignment and function.
We then use Tekscan technology to measure the force of your bite at every point, ensuring your new bite is balanced, healthy, and that no single tooth bears excessive pressure.
Only in rare cases is surgery required to address TMJ.
- Specialized imaging and bite analysis confirm alignment and function.
- Customized orthopedic mouthpieces or restorations create a stable, pain-free bite.
EXPLORE INNOVATIVE TMJ SOLUTIONS
TMJ often develops gradually, with symptoms that grow more intense over time. But lasting relief is possible, even if previous treatments haven’t worked.
At Beyond Exceptional Dentistry, we unite science and smile artistry to deliver more than symptom relief. Our advanced approach relieves pain, restores balance, and renews your entire functioning to live feeling your best.
