Symptoms of TMJ Disorder

There are various symptoms that you might experience as a result of a TMJ disorder. In many cases, you might notice chronic pain on one or both sides of your jaw. Some people also frequently suffer from headaches or migraines. Your jaw movement may be restricted, and you might find that it’s more difficult to chew. When you visit our dental office, we’ll take the time to learn more about your symptoms; this can help us figure out whether TMJ disorder is truly to blame.

How We Treat TMJ Disorder

Our team can give you an oral appliance called an occlusal splint to help you find lasting relief from your TMJ disorder. If you wear the splint at night, it will help ensure that your jaw stays in a more relaxed position so that the muscles affected by the disorder can heal. Also, the splint can protect your teeth and jaw from bruxism (which is the term for unconscious grinding of the teeth), which is often a risk factor for TMJ-related problems.
