It can be frustrating to live with jaw pain that keeps affecting your quality of life. Continued discomfort from the poor alignment and movement of your joints will negatively affect you because it can cause discomfort around bite movement, persistent facial pain, and even difficulties with headaches. At our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office, we can provide TMJ treatment to relieve you of these aches and pains. This work will rely on a custom oral appliance that gently adjusts the way you hold your jaw. With the right appliance, we can also take on issues with nightly teeth grinding that can contribute to your daily discomfort.
Is TMJ Disorder Making Pain Part Of Your Daily Life?
When you have daily issues with TMJ disorder, you can experience headaches, problems with jaw pain and stiffness, trouble with neck and shoulder discomfort, and new limitations on your bite function that frustrate you. For many people, these aches from TMJ problems overlap with issues from bruxism, a problem with recurring teeth grinding. The sooner you take on this matter, the sooner you can improve your quality of life and relieve discomfort!
We Can Help You Ease Tension On Your Jaw Joints And Muscles
Problems with the alignment and movement of your jaw joints can lead to problems that result in chronic discomfort. Fortunately, with a custom oral appliance, we can correct these problems so that your discomfort is alleviated. Through a careful review, we can determine what you need from your appliance. After doing this, we can provide your custom guard, which you will wear during the night to reduce stress and strain. In some cases, additional dental work can be recommended. This is to take on problems with teeth spacing or poor dental health that have interfered with your bite function and limited your ability to utilize natural movements.
When TMJ Disorder And Bruxism Affect You
TMJ disorder and bruxism can be related, with each of these conditions able to make people more vulnerable to the other. For patients who have problems with bruxism, we can provide a custom guard that keeps teeth safe during the night when grinding can frequently occur. We can also recommend different services intended to treat the wear and tear that may have already occurred.
