Time To Say Good-Bye To TMJ Pain!
Dr. Roman Sadikoff is an expert in TMJ treatment. He’s received highly specialized training to learn how to assess facial structure, symptoms, and level of pain to craft personalized TMJ treatment plans that alleviate the painful and often debilitating symptoms patients suffer. With custom TMJ treatment, patients find real relief from a variety of TMJ-related problems.
Why Treat TMJ
The temporomandibular joint is vital to everyday functions like speaking, eating, smiling, laughing, and more. If it is not performing as intended, these basic activities become painful, which can diminish a person’s quality of life in profound ways. Additionally, TMJ dysfunction doesn’t limit itself to a painful jaw — its effects can be felt from head to toe. That’s because the area where the TMJ is located is packed with important nerves and blood vessels that run along the entire body.
TMJ disorder symptoms include:
- Jaw popping, locking
- Sore, tense jaw muscles
- Painful biting and chewing
- Tension headaches or migraines
- Teeth grinding that can lead to worn, chipped, and cracked teeth
- Persistent oral and facial pain
- Limited jaw and mouth mobility
- Ear pain and ringing in the ears
- Vertigo and trouble with balance
- Sleep disruptions
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Tingling in the extremities
- Partial hearing loss
TMJ Treatment Options
There are many options for treating TMJ pain. At Clinton Dental Center, we offer treatment with oral appliances that correct the position of the jaw to relieve tension and stress on the joint. We also provide orthodontic treatment to correct bite issues that contribute to TMJ dysfunction. Treatment has a 95% success rate, so patients have everything to gain by choosing to treat their TMJ pain.
Oral appliance treatment: The aim of TMJ treatment with an oral appliance is to keep the jaw in a more comfortable and natural position so the facial muscles and joint can relax. Over time, the jaw will stabilize, and the jaw joint will heal.
Orthodontic treatment: We can use orthodontic appliances, such as clear aligners or braces, to straighten crooked teeth, create space for crowded teeth, and align the bite to relieve stress on the jaw joint. After treatment, the jaw is in the proper position and stabilized.
Custom TMJ Treatment
Each patient’s TMJ disorder looks different, so each patient’s treatment should look different too. The beauty of seeking treatment from an expert like Dr. Sadikoff is that you will receive a treatment plan customized to address your unique needs — whether you’re in the beginning stages of the TMD or your case is advanced. It’s all about helping you find relief.
