Feel Better With TMJ Therapy

Most people don’t pay much attention to their TMJs (temporomandibular joints), at least not until they start hurting and causing problems. These complex joints sit on either side of your skull and connect your upper and lower jaws. They make it possible to chew, talk, laugh, yawn, and sing. However, if your TMJs become inflamed and irritated, you can experience a great deal of pain.

The team at Briarwood Valley Dentistry can help, however. We want to improve your quality of life! Dr. Hanna will have a custom oral appliance made for you that will:

  • Fit comfortably in your mouth while you sleep, moving your lower jaw slightly forward
  • Relieve tension on your TMJs so they can begin to heal
  • Reduce your headaches and tension in your neck and shoulders
  • Keep you from grinding your teeth and damaging your tooth enamel

With our treatment, you won’t need any invasive procedures such as surgery. Plus, your mouthguard will be small and you can easily carry it along on trips.

Relief is waiting for you at Briarwood Valley Dentistry, so call us today at 269-349-3203 to schedule a consultation for TMJ treatment. You can also request an appointment online for TMJ help or for a routine checkup.

FAQs

Does TMJ treatment work?
TMJ problems typically won’t go away without treatment. TMJ pain is usually caused when the joints in your jaw become inflamed. This commonly occurs because of two habits that put your jaw under pressure: clenching and teeth grinding. We can make a custom mouthguard for you that will stop these behaviors. Then your jaw can heal.
There is no standard length for TMJ treatment. It depends on many factors, including the severity of your symptoms. Since a mouthguard not only relieves TMJ pain but also prevents damage to teeth caused by grinding, many patients make it a permanent addition to their bedtime routine.
Your insurance may pay for part of your TMJ treatment. We can help determine what your plan will and won’t cover and what your portion of the cost may be. Keep in mind that we offer financing options to help pay for your treatment. We work with CareCredit, which has low-interest payment plans.
