What Is TMJ Disorder?

TMD is the result of problems with the jaw joint. The temporomandibular joint is a hinge that enables you to move your jaw. TMJ is a highly complex mechanism that can be easily misaligned or damage by an improper bite. This type of malfunction can occur due to:

• Arthritis
• Broken or worn-down teeth
• Improperly placed tooth restorations
• Jaw trauma
• Stress
• Teeth clenching or grinding
• Tooth loss

Your Canton dentist can pinpoint the root cause of symptoms with a thorough examination. Then he can recommend the best way to alleviate your pain over the long term.

TMJ Treatment Near You

Dr. Danner uses computer-guided instrumentation to treat headaches and TMJ pain. This revolutionary procedure is proven to end discomfort faster. What’s more, the POD treatment is a more reliable and permanent solution than mouth guards and other oral myofunctional therapy & therapist appliances. In fact, the computer-recorded T-Scan is so effective that TMD patients who receive it rarely need a nightguard or an orthotic device, even if they grind their teeth.

Since your dentist can view how your muscles react to bite forces, he can make a precise diagnosis. With this information, he can make computer-guided corrections. Then the strained muscles can relax and eventually heal.

In most TMD patients, many of the symptoms disappear within the first week after treatment has begun.
