Benefits of TMJ Treatment

Placentia, Orange County TMJ Dentist – Benefits of TMJ Treatment

Although according to TMJ Association statistics over ten million Americans suffer from disorders of the temporomandibular joints, many do not even realize they have such a  condition.  When the complex joints that allow us to chew and speak do not function properly, they can cause a number of problems, many of which people do not typically associate with dentistry, including headaches, back pain, and earaches.  Fortunately, help is available for TMJ sufferers.  If you suspect you may have a disorder of the temporomandibular joint, schedule a consultation with Placentia, Orange County TMJ dentist Gregory A. Mohr to learn how TMJ treatment from Mohr Exceptional Dentistry can help you feel like yourself again.

TMJ Treatment

Due to the frequency with which TMJ disorders are misdiagnosed, TMJ sufferers often go for long periods of time before they are able to obtain proper treatment to alleviate their symptoms.  Although TMJ disorders can have a numbers of causes, including misalignment of the bite, unbalanced jaw muscles, and trauma to the head, face, or jaw, with proper diagnosis and treatment most TMJ sufferers can achieve a life free of TMJ symptoms, allowing them to go about their daily business without worry.  Mohr Exceptional Dentistry features advanced TMJ treatment using neuromuscular dentistry techniques performed using specialized equipment designed to help us diagnose and treat TMJ pain.

The first step in TMJ treatment takes place at your initial appointment at the Placentia, Orange County practice of TMJ dentist Gregory Mohr, during which your entire medical and dental history will be reviewed and your bite and range of jaw motion will be evaluated.  Once the cause of your TMJ disorder has been identified, a treatment plan customized to your condition will be devised to alleviate your symptoms.  Depending on the cause and severity of your condition, your TMJ treatment may include the use of a special mouth splint to restore harmony to your jaw, the reshaping of selected teeth, orthodontic realignment, or other solutions.  TMJ treatment is often used along with treatments such as dental crowns, tooth whitening, and porcelain veneers as part of a complete smile makeover, and even nervous patients can have their TMJ issues treated without suffering undue anxiety thanks to our sedation dentistry options.  By combining outstanding TMJ care and aesthetic cosmetic dentistry at Mohr Exceptional Dentistry, we have achieved outstanding results for many satisfied patients.
