There are a number of ways to correct dysfunction of the TMJ joint using non-surgical solutions. While the exact technique will depend on the unique factors causing your TMD, Dr. Core utilizes the most conservative treatments possible to improve or eliminate your symptoms and restore a well-aligned bite.

 

In many cases involving unnecessary pressure on the jaw joints, a customized oral appliance worn at night can prevent teeth grinding and minimize painful symptoms. Bite and jaw therapies may also be effective approaches to improve movement of the jaw and decrease muscle tension. If Dr. Core discovers that a misaligned bite is causing or exacerbating your TMJ Disorder, restorative dentistry procedures or orthodontic treatment may be very successful in correcting biting irregularities and reorienting the teeth into the proper positioning. Whatever the reason for your symptoms may be, Dr. Core will work with you to locate the source of your TMD and develop the most optimal treatment plan for your needs.
