Relieve Chronic Jaw Pain
with Expert TMJ Treatments
TMD, otherwise known as temporomandibular joint dysfunction, is a disorder of the jaw muscles, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), and nerves associated with chronic facial pain. Patients experiencing TMD can experience jaw pain and tenderness and popping or clicking in the joint when chewing or speaking. These symptoms of TMJ can cause much discomfort for those dealing with it, making even the simplest things, like talking, strenuous.
At Magnolia Dental, we offer TMJ treatments to help relieve pain in the jaw. TMJ treatment varies from patient to patient, from non-invasive therapy and bite splints to injections or surgery. Treating TMJ symptoms is essential as they could lead to extensive tooth damage, annoying headaches, muscle pain, and more long-term issues. Teeth grinding, malocclusion, and locked jaw can be typical signs of TMJ. Our Covington, LA team would be happy to help treat your TMJ symptoms.
Treatments to Get Your Smile Back on Track
Occlusal Adjustments
An occlusal adjustment is a dental procedure that reshapes your tooth’s biting surface and eliminates interferences causing bite misalignment. This TMJ treatment involves the grinding and shaping select tooth surfaces to improve overall function. If your teeth do not align properly, occlusal adjustment is an excellent solution for correcting malocclusion.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatments can be used to help treat TMJ symptoms in many ways. From braces or Invisalign to a custom night guard, orthodontics can help correct malpositioned teeth over some time. With the proper treatments, orthodontics can help guide your bite into proper alignment and fix any discomfort or problems that TMJ might be causing.
Mouthguard/Splint Therapy
Mouthguards and splints are two great ways to help treat TMJ. Mouthguards can help prevent teeth grinding, while splints join teeth together and increase their stability and function. Custom-made mouthguards and splints are made and adjusted to fix your needs, whether you clench your teeth or grind them.
