The small hinges that allow your lower jaw to move are called the TMJ, or temporomandibular joint. Like other joints in the body, it can sometimes develop problems due to stress, strain, arthritis, or even a misaligned bite.
Some common symptoms of TMJ are,
- - Stiff and painful jaw
- - Chronic migraine headaches
- - Neck/Shoulder pain
Dr. Vijjaykanth and Dr. Shanthimathi will examine your TMJ at every regular checkup. They can provide a multitude of treatments that have been proven to provide relief from TM-related pain. Such as,
- - Stretches throughout the day
- - Slightly reshaping a few teeth to realign the bite
- - Therapeutic mouthpiece to bed each night
- - Ant-deproramming Splint/CR-Splint
