Instead of trying to grow used to persistent pain and stiffness when you bite and chew, talk to your dentist about the issue. When you do so, you can find that the right treatment can lead to a welcome improvement in dental function, and it can lead to relief from different forms of discomfort, including problems with headaches, as well as issues with neck and shoulder pain. Our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office can help you if ongoing jaw troubles due to TMJ disorder have changed your quality of life. We can also help you if you have related issues with teeth grinding and clenching that have caused dental damage.
We Can Help You Live Without Persistent Jaw Pain
When you have problems with unaddressed stress on your jaw joints and muscles, or if you struggle with pain and stiffness because of poor joint alignment and bite movement, TMJ disorder can become a daily concern. This problem can limit your bite movements by making them stiff and uncomfortable. It can also lead to recurring problems with headaches, facial pain, and both stiffness and pain in your neck and shoulders. By correcting problems with poor alignment and movement, you can relieve these discomforts and improve your quality of life. Our practice is prepared to help, as we can offer appliance therapy to correct imbalances. When appropriate, we can even use advanced bite mapping technology to spot imbalances in your bite.
Correcting Bite Issues And Poor Joint Alignment
After we identify issues with poor bite movement and jaw alignment, we can discuss treatment to help. A custom appliance will help by correcting imbalances in jaw movement and positioning. When you improve your alignment, you take away joint stress that has created problems for you. This can lead to a reduction in both stress and pain, and improve your quality of life.
Will You Need Dental Work To Improve Your Bite Function?
There are times when unresolved issues with your dental health stop you from maintaining a comfortable bite movement. In these situations, restorative dental work can lead to improvements in your bite health and movement. We can recommend that you have dental crowns placed on teeth that are not providing adequate bite support, leading to welcome changes in function as well as potential smile improvements.
