Did you know that our dentist can help with all sorts of discomfort and pain you might be feeling, not just with your teeth, but your jaw too?
The Jaw joint is called the temporomandibular joint and disorders to it are called TMJ disorders. Sometimes a mal-aligned jaw from the way your teeth mesh together with cause jaw pain and can often cause you to sleep badly.
We offer a range of appliances that may be able to assist patients who are suffering with some pain from TMJ disorders. Our neuromuscular orthotic appliances aim to position your jaw in a muscle neutral position, thereby allowing your jaws to relax which in turn will often relieve TMJ disorder symptoms such as headaches, neck ache, facial pain, and jaw joint pain.
Another treatment, not many know of, is Botox. Which when used in the masseter, relaxes the muscle responsible for clenching, grinding and jaw pain.
