Relief from TMJ-related pain means relief from jaw stiffness and discomfort, problems with headaches, and even from problems with neck and shoulder discomfort. In other words, treatment can have remarkable benefits for your quality of life! Sunny Smiles offers TMJ therapy in the El Paso area. If you have a difficult time biting and chewing without feeling pain, sensitivity, and stiffness, bringing the matter to our attention can lead to beneficial care. This is also a problem that we can identify and work with you to resolve when you schedule routine dental exams, which create opportunities for us to identify and discuss symptoms.
Is TMJ Therapy Something That Can Benefit You?
TMJ therapy takes on problems with poor jaw alignment and movement that can lead to different forms of discomfort. In addition to finding it difficult to bite, chew, or speak without discomfort, you can find jaw movement more difficult due to stiffness, have increasing problems with headaches and nightly teeth grinding, and even experience pain in your face, neck, and shoulders. When pain is part of your daily life, you can be understandably eager for treatment. Our practice can meet with you to confirm that this is an issue for you. From there, we can provide care to relieve you of the discomfort that you feel.
Beginning Treatment To Address Troubled Jaw Alignment And Movement
By taking on problems with your jaw alignment and movement, we can alleviate tension that causes discomfort and help you avoid teeth grinding issues. To provide support, we can use a custom oral appliance that gently corrects how you hold your jaw. Worn while you sleep, this appliance can help you feel more comfortable, and it can retrain you to practice more natural and comfortable movements while you bite, chew, and speak.
Discussing Restorative Treatment That Can Improve Your Bite
As we evaluate you to prepare for your TMJ treatment, we will look out for any oral health issues that can contribute to poor bite movements. Teeth that are not supporting your dental function because they are unhealthy or undersized can be capped with dental crowns to make positive changes. Because our options for restorative treatment include crowns that imitate healthy enamel, we can provide this service without permanently altering the way you look!
