Is a problem with pain and stiffness when you bite something that should concern you? Any issue with persistent discomfort should certainly be regarded as a concern. The problem you have can point to TMJ disorder, which can have different causes. In addition to working with you to improve your jaw movement and alleviate the discomfort that you feel, Sunny Smiles can provide an evaluation and determine if an oral health issue is contributing to your issues with pain and stiffness. A tooth may need to be restored so that you can apply and release bite pressure evenly again. By providing this support with a custom crown, we can address this problem and still preserve your smile!
Do You Have A Problem With Your Bite Movement?
If you have difficulties biting and chewing, it can point to a problem with your jaw alignment and movement. This is an issue that is known as TMJ disorder. There are different reasons why it can become an issue for you. One is that you can struggle with poor dental health that makes it harder to evenly apply bite pressure. Other concerns include a reliance on uneven movements, troubles with arthritis in the jaw joints, or difficulties after an injury.
Using TMJ Therapy To Improve Your Jaw Alignment And Reduce Pain
Through TMJ therapy, we can work with you on easing discomfort that has become a problem in your daily life. The relief that a custom oral appliance can offer is important. By using a guard to adjust your lower jaw’s position and movement, we can encourage you to rely on better motions and alleviate tension. We can also discuss the role of a custom guard in helping you deal with nightly teeth grinding and clenching trouble that can be related to your TMJ troubles.
Taking Care Of A Dental Problem That Makes It Harder For You To Maintain Your Bite Function
Through the restoration of teeth that are in poor health, we can make it easier for you to preserve your bite function and avoid problems with pain, sensitivity, and stiffness. A dental crown that caps a vulnerable tooth can offer the support needed for you to once again use a natural bite movement. In addition to providing protection, a crown offered at our practice can supply support for your appearance!
