Until you do something about TMJ disorder, you can find yourself stuck with a persistent pain in and around your jaw that can flare up when you try to bite, chew, or speak. This condition can have other consequences—for example, you can experience headaches on a more frequent basis, and you can struggle with a persistent teeth grinding problem. At our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office, we are ready to help you by providing TMJ therapy. Through the appropriate care, we can determine how to correct your issues with poor joint alignment and movement to reduce stress and help you enjoy a better quality of life!
Are You Living With Bite Pain And Stiffness?
The longer you go without addressing your problems with bite pain and stiffness, the more these issues can seem to take over your daily life. These difficulties can arise whenever you have unresolved problems with the way your jaw joints are aligned, or with problems that affect the health and movement of the joints and muscles. To identify all of the imbalances that concern us, we can use TruDenta to evaluate your dental movements.
Using An Oral Appliance To Address Uncomfortable Jaw Movement
With a custom oral appliance, we can correct the alignment and movement of your jaw so that you no longer have to worry about aches and pains from TMJ disorder. The appliance that you receive will be custom-made just for you, and it will provide relief by easing your discomfort by helping your jaw return to a more comfortable resting position. We should note that in some cases, it can be beneficial to look into treatment for different oral health issues that can stop you from biting and chewing in a way that feels natural.
Addressing Dental Problems That Make Your Bite Function Difficult
When you have unresolved problems with your dental health, or teeth that are not properly aligned, you can find it harder to maintain a healthy, balanced bite. We can evaluate you to determine if you might require restorative dental work so that all of your teeth can contribute to your dental function, or if you could benefit from orthodontic services. For those who could use orthodontic treatment, we can recommend Invisalign as a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces.
