Do you suffer from any of the following symptoms? If so you may be one of the many undiagnosed TMJ Disorder sufferers:
- Headache, jaw, ear, or facial pain?
- Being unable to open the mouth comfortably
- Clicking, popping or grating sounds in the jaw joint
- Locking of the jaw when attempting to open the mouth
- Headaches, Neck, shoulder and back pain
- A bite that feels uncomfortable or “off”
- Swelling on the side of the face
- Ringing in the ears, ear pain or decreased hearing
- Dizziness and vision problems or other similar problems?
At Village Dental Care we can diagnose and treat TMJ Disorder with Neuromuscular Dentistry [your bite].
Neuromuscular Dentistry takes into account your malocclusion (bad bite or crooked teeth) and relates it to your head and neck pain. We take a four step approach to Neuromuscular Dentistry treatment. These steps are:
- Comprehensive Exam
- Orthotic Therapy
- Recording Your Ideal Bite
- Making alterations to your teeth [if appropriate] to give you a more ideal bite
Orthotic therapy involves the use of an oral splint which is worn each night. It looks like a sports mouthguard and is custom made to your individual needs. The Orthotic prevents further wear of teeth and once in place will help us to acheive your ideal bite.
