TMJ and TMD Treatment
TMJ and TMD Treatment in Brea, Fullerton, and Yorba Linda
Millions of Americans suffer from dysfunctions of the temporomandibular joints. The complex temporomandibular joints (TMJ) that connect our jaws allow us to talk and eat, but temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) can cause a wide range of problematic symptoms, including limited jaw movement, difficulty sleeping, and even dizziness or fainting. In keeping with his dedication to providing state-of-the-art TMJ and TMD treatment for Yorba Linda, Fullerton, and Brea-area residents, cosmetic dentist Gregory A. Mohr applies advanced concepts in neuromuscular dentistry along with groundbreaking technology such as the Myotronics K-7 Evaluation System and Myomonitor TENS equipment to accurately diagnose and treat TMJ dysfunction.
Neuromuscular Dentistry and Myofacial Pain Therapy
Neuromuscular dentistry refers to the area of dentistry concerning pathophysiology, form, and anatomy. By closely evaluating the delicate interaction of the teeth and temporomandibular joints and applying the principles of neuromuscular dentistry, Dr. Mohr can resolve a host of problems, such as stiffness or pain in the head, neck, or upper back, along with many other commonly overlooked symptoms of TMJ dysfunction.
Many of our patients who previously suffered from TMJ dysfunction have significantly benefited from TMD treatment at our Fullerton, Yorba Linda, and Brea-area office thanks to myofacial pain therapy. This effective therapy seeks to correct TMD by restoring balance between the teeth, muscles, and joints. Because each case is different, we offer a variety of non-surgical treatment options. Your individualized TMD treatment plan may involve a special splint called a neuromuscular orthosis to reestablish balance, a semi-permanent splint, comprehensive orthodontic treatment (including placement of braces), or tooth restoration. Using one or a combination of these treatments, Dr. Mohr is able to significantly relieve TMJ dysfunctions and offer practical, effective solutions for TMD pain.
State-of-the-Art Myotronics TMJ Treatment
Dr. Mohr takes great pride in using the most modern, up-to-date methods to treat TMD pain. Using such groundbreaking technology as our Myotronic K-7 computerized jaw tracking system and Myomonitor TENS unit, Dr. Mohr is frequently able to relieve pain suffered for years as a result of TMJ problems.
Myotronics K-7 Evaluation System
Used at Mohr Exceptional Dentistry for taking bite registration along with a wide range of other procedures, Myotronics K-7 technology aids us in providing accurate diagnosis of TMJ problems and effective TMD treatment. The Myotronics K-7 Evaluation System is an advanced non-invasive technology designed to measure and store data on the movement of the jaw along with its related muscles and bones in extreme detail. Because many people afflicted with temporomandibular disorders have difficulty obtaining a proper diagnosis of their condition, the K-7 Evaluation System has helped us relieve the pain and frustration of a great many TMJ and TMD sufferers. Our office near Brea, Fullerton, and Yorba Linda is one of the best-equipped dental facilities in the area for the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular dysfunction and TMJ-related disorders, achieving superlative results for our clients while eliminating TMD-related pain.
Myomonitor TENS Unit
The Myotronics Myomonitor TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator) unit in our Placentia office delivers bilateral electrical stimulation to relax muscles, increase circulation, and extend range of motion. Dr. Mohr uses the muscle relaxation produced by this unique system both to conduct a more precise and accurate examination and diagnosis and to aid in the treatment of TMJ dysfunction. TMD sufferers in the Brea, Yorba Linda, and Fullerton areas no longer have to suffer with the excruciating pain of TMJ dysfunction thanks to the advanced TMD treatment options available at Mohr Exceptional Dentistry.
