If pain is something you regularly experience whenever you bite and chew, if you have frequent trouble with headaches, or if you are growing concerned about jaw stiffness and sensitivity, visiting with your dentist can be beneficial. With a proper review, our Virginia Beach, VA dental practice can determine if these quality of life issues are connected to TMJ disorder, a problem with joint alignment and movement. When this problem does affect an individual, proper care can provide important relief. In addition to providing appliance therapy to treat this problem, our practice can use TruDenta technology to look for imbalances in bite movement that should be corrected to reduce tension and stress on your joints and muscles.
Issues With Daily Pain To Bring Up With Your Dentist
If you live with recurring pain that affects you when you bite and chew, frequent headaches, or issues with nightly teeth grinding, it can point to a real problem with TMJ disorder. This issue can arise for different reasons, but it points to trouble with poor joint alignment and movement that can lead to worsening discomfort as well as the onset of new troubling aches and pains. When you bring the matter up with your dentist, you can learn about treatment capable of easing discomfort and correcting your alignment to provide long-term improvements.
Treating TMJ Disorder To Improve Your Quality Of Life
Through the use of a custom appliance, we can help people correct the resting position of their jaw in order to reduce tension on their joints and muscles. In addition to appliance therapy, we can provide a close study of your bite movement with TruDenta technology, and from there we can see how improvements in your bite motions can be made to positively change your quality of life.
Stay Informed About Your Oral Health With Regular Checkups
Regular dental exams provide opportunities for us to both look out for and discuss problems with your oral health. The early detection and treatment of a problem with your bite can help you spend less time in pain, and it can prevent potential complications.
