If you’re experiencing pain and movement problems with your jaw, you might have a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. This disorder could affect your daily activities, especially when eating and speaking. VP Dental provides TMJ treatment in Raleigh, NC, and it might be the therapy you need to feel better.

What is TMJ Treatment?

TMJ treatment is a jaw pain relief therapy that consists of different solutions to help ease the discomforts you feel in your jaw and surrounding areas. At VP Dental, we offer non-surgical ways to treat TMJ disorder, which include the following:

  • Nightguards – These oral devices can help you straighten your jaw, level your bite, and lessen the effects of teeth grinding. Custom nightguards help reduce or completely remove facial muscle tension and jaw pain.
  • Physiotherapy – These sessions provide TMJ exercises to help strengthen the muscles that surround your jaw joint and slowly ease the jaw movement.

Who Needs TMJ Therapy?

We recommend VP Dental TMJ Therapy if you are experiencing the symptoms of a TMJ disorder. The following symptoms may happen on one or both sides of your mouth and can last for a few months to several years:

  • Discomfort or soreness in the neck, shoulders, jaw joint, and areas surrounding your ears
  • Problems with the bite or jaw alignment
  • Having trouble opening your mouth
  • Jaws that get “stuck” or “locked”
  • Jaw clicking, cracking, or grating noises
  • Facial pain
  • Difficulty in chewing
  • Toothaches
  • Migraines or headaches

You may have one or more of the symptoms at the same time. These signs of TMJ disorder may show after a jaw injury, years of teeth grinding or clenching, untreated teeth misalignment, or stress.
