Navigating TMJD

If jaw pain, headaches, or discomfort while chewing are part of your daily life, you might be experiencing Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD). The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is essential for chewing, speaking, and mouth function.

Our practice specializes in diagnosing and treating TMJD with advanced technology and personalized care to alleviate symptoms and restore proper jaw function.

When it's not working properly, it can seriously affect your quality of life.

Symptoms and Things to Look For

Recognizing TMJD early is key to effective treatment and preventing further issues. Look out for these common symptoms:

  • Jaw Pain
  • Difficulty Chewing
  • Jaw Stiffness
  • Clicking or Popping Sounds
  • Ear Pain
  • Headaches
  • Facial Swelling

If these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to get a professional assessment.

Evaluating Your TMJ Health

At Jeneary & Erdmann Integrative Dentistry, we take a thorough approach to diagnosing TMJD. Two key tools in our diagnostic arsenal are Jaw Vibration Analysis and Joint Tomography. By combining the insights from JVA and the detailed visuals from JT, we get a complete picture of what's happening with your TMJ.

JVA (Joint Vibration Analysis)

listens to the vibrations and sounds your joint makes when you move it. These sounds—like clicks, pops, or grinding—can tell us a lot about what's going wrong inside your joint.

Joint Tomography (JT)

provides detailed images of your jaw’s internal structure. This imaging technique allows us to see the condition of the bones within your TMJ, helping us spot any abnormalities or damage.

“We use cutting-edge technology to guide us towards the root cause of your issues.”

Relief Made Easy

After a precise diagnosis, we focus on providing effective treatments to relieve your TMJD symptoms and restore normal jaw function.

Custom-Made Dental Orthotic

Our custom-made dental orthotic is a specially designed appliance that fits comfortably over your teeth to correct jaw alignment. This appliance works by repositioning your jaw, which helps to relieve pain by reducing stress on your jaw joint and surrounding muscles. By improving alignment, it prevents further damage and discomfort.

MLS Laser Therapy

We also offer MLS (Multiwave Locked System) Laser Therapy, a non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to reduce pain and inflammation. This advanced therapy provides immediate and long-term pain relief, reduces inflammation to promote faster healing, and improves jaw mobility, making everyday activities more comfortable and enjoyable.
