Solutions for Temporomandibular Joint Issues

If you have pain or soreness in your jaw, you may have a TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issue. Problems in this joint can be caused by a misalignment of your teeth, trauma, or excess muscle tension. Issues in this part of your mouth can cause a variety of health issues. Call Midtown Dental Clinic to schedule an appointment right away.

Health Troubles Caused by TMJ Disorders

Effective Treatments for TMJ Conditions

There are many ways to treat TMJ conditions at Midtown Dental Clinic such as replacing missing teeth, moving teeth, adjusting the bite, or filling gaps between teeth. Sometimes a plastic mouthpiece is used to prevent any teeth grinding or clenching that contributes to the issue. If left untreated, surgery may be needed to repair damaged joints.
